حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْب
ٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي مَا بَيْنَ أَنْ يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ وَهِيَ الَّتِي تُسَمُّونَ أَوْ تَدْعُونَ الْعَتَمَةَ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَجْدَةً يُسَلِّمُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ وَيَسْجُدُ فِي سُبْحَتِهِ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ بِالْأُولَى مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ فَيَأْتِيهِ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَيَخْرُجُ مَعَهُ

عبد الملك بن عمرو
ابن أبي ذئب
English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray between Isha — which you call al-Atamah — and Fajr: eleven prostrations, with a taslim between every two prostrations, and Witr with one. His prostration lasted as long as it takes one of you to recite fifty verses. When the muadhdhin fell silent at the first call for Fajr prayer, he would perform two brief rak'ahs and then lie on his right side.'
