13. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, after performing ‘Isha’ al- Akhirah (the late evening Salah (prayer)) would ask that water for his Wudu’ and toothbrush be placed near his pillow under a cover. He then would sleep as long as Allah willed then he would wake up, brush, make Wudu’ and perform four Rak‘at Salah (prayer). He thereafter he would sleep, then wake up, brush, make Wudu’ and perform four Rak‘at Salah (prayer), then sleep until about dawn then he would get up for witr, then perform two Rak‘at Salah (prayer).’ The Imam then said, ‘The Messenger of Allah was a good lesson for you.’ I (the narrator) asked, ‘What time would he wake up? 5 The Imam replied, ‘He would wake up after one-third of the night.’ In another Hadith he has said, ‘He would wake up after midnight.’ Yet in another Hadith it is stated that his waking up, Ruku‘ and sajdah were of the same proportion. Each time, after waking up, he would brush and read verses 190 -194 of Chapter Three.”
13ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الآخِرَةَ أَمَرَ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَسِوَاكِهِ يُوضَعُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مُخَمَّراً فَيَرْقُدُ مَا شَاءَ الله ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَسْتَاكُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَيُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ يَرْقُدُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَسْتَاكُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَيُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ يَرْقُدُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي وَجْهِ الصُّبْحِ قَامَ فَأَوْتَرَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ كانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ الله أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ قُلْتُ مَتَى كَانَ يَقُومُ قَالَ بَعْدَ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى يَكُونُ قِيَامُهُ وَرُكُوعُهُ وَسُجُودُهُ سَوَاءً وَيَسْتَاكُ فِي كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ قَامَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَيَقْرَأُ الآيَاتِ مِنْ آلِ عِمْرَانَ إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّماواتِ وَالأرْضِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ.
