Sahih al-Bukhari 4364 (Book 65, Hadith 92)
prayer of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ” My aunt placed a cushion for Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and he slept on it in its
length-wise direction and (woke-up) rubbing the traces of sleep off his face and then he recited the last
ten Verses of Surat-al-`Imran till he finished it. Then he went to a hanging water skin and took it,
performed the ablution and then stood up to offer the prayer. I got up and did the same as he had done,
and stood beside him. He put his hand on my head and held me by the ear and twisted it. He offered
two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, and
finally the witr (i.e. one rak`a) prayer.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4364 (Book 65, Hadith 92)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
