Sunan Ibn Majah 1703 (Book 7, Hadith 66) #31055
The Prophet's (PBUH) Nightly Routine

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) would spend the night in a state of sexual impurity and Bilal would inform him when it was time for prayer. He would then take a bath and perform Fajr prayer.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Prophet used to spend the night in a state of sexual impurity, then Bilal would come to him and inform him that it is time for prayer. So he would get up and have a bath, and I would see the water dripping from his head, then he would go out and I would hear his voice during Fajr prayer". (One of the narrators) Mutarrif said: "I said to Amir: 'Was that during Ramadan?' He said: 'In Ramadan and at other times'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ يَبِيتُ جُنُبًا. فَيَأْتِيهِ بِلاَلٌ، فَيُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَيَقُومُ فَيَغْتَسِلُ. فَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى تَحَدُّرِ الْمَاءِ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ. ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَأَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُطَرِّفٌ: فَقُلْتُ لِعامِرٍأفِي رَمَضَانَ؟ قَالَ رَمَضَانُ وَغَيْرُهُ سَوَاءٌ
