Abu Salma bin `Abdur Rahman: I asked `Aisha, "How is the prayer of Allah's Apostle during the month of Ramadan."

She said, "Allah's Apostle never exceeded eleven rak`at in Ramadan or in other months; he used to offer four rak`at—do not ask me about their beauty and length, then four rak`at, do not ask me about their beauty and length, and then three rak`at." Aisha further said, "I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Do you sleep before offering the witr prayer?' He replied, 'O`Aisha! My eyes sleep but my heart remains awake'!"
