Sahih al-Bukhari 512 (Book 8, Hadith 159) #495
Praying Witr with the Prophet (ﷺ).

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to wake up 'Aisha to pray witr.

Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet used to pray while I was sleeping across in his bed in front of him. Whenever he wanted to pray witr, he would wake me up and I would pray witr.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا رَاقِدَةٌ مُعْتَرِضَةٌ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوتِرَ أَيْقَظَنِي فَأَوْتَرْتُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of praying witr, which is an extra prayer that Muslims perform at night. It was narrated by 'Aisha, who was a wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. She said that whenever he wanted to pray witr, he would wake her up and they would pray together. This shows us how important it was for him to make sure he prayed this extra prayer and how much effort he put into it. It also teaches us that we should be consistent in our prayers and not take them lightly or forget about them. We should strive to make sure we are fulfilling our religious obligations as best as we can so that Allah will be pleased with us.
