حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ بُدَيْلَ بْنَ مَيْسَرَةَ ، وَأَيُّوبَ يُحَدِّثَانِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : "

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا قَائِمًا ، وَلَيْلًا طَوِيلًا قَاعِدًا ، فَإِذَا صَلَّى قَائِمًا رَكَعَ قَائِمًا ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى قَاعِدًا رَكَعَ قَاعِدًا
