Abdullah bin Shaqiq says that once I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recite several surahs in one rak'ah?" She replied, "The Mufassalat." I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pray while sitting?" She replied, "He started doing so after the number of people increased." I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) use to pray the Duha prayer?" She replied, "No, except when he returned from a journey." I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ever fast the entire month?" She replied, "I do not know of any month, except Ramadan, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted the entire month, and I do not know of any month in which he did not fast at all." Abdullah says, "I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), 'Who was the most beloved to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) among his companions?' She replied, 'Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him).' I asked, 'After him?' She replied, 'Umar.' I asked, 'After him?' She replied, 'Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah.' I asked, 'After him?' Then she remained silent."
