Prayer Habits of Prophet Muhammad (S) During Ramadan

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the prayer habits of Prophet Muhammad (S) during Ramadan, and how he would pray four Rak'ah followed by four Rak'ah and then three Rak'ah. He also mentioned that his eyes may sleep but his heart does not.

Sa'eed bin Abi Sa'eed Al-Maqburi narrated that: Sa'eed bin Abi Sa'eed Al-Maqburi narrated that Abu Salamah informed him that he had asked Aishah: "How was the Salat of Allah's Messenger (A) at night during Ramadan?" She said: "Allah's Messenger (S) would pray - neither in Ramadan nor in any other month - more than eleven Rak'ah. He would pray four, and do not ask about their excellence or length, then he would pray four, and do not ask about their excellence or length, then he would pray three". Aishah said: "I asked: 'O Messenger of Allah! Do you sleep before having performed Witr?" He said: 'O Aishah! Indeed my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep'."
