What was narrated concerning which hours of the night are best
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَيُحْيِي آخِرَهُ .
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to sleep during the first part of the night and stay awake during the latter part.”
