Sahih al-Bukhari
Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)
Chapter: Sleeping in the first part of the night and getting up in its last part
Narrated Al-Aswad:
I asked `Aisha "How is the night prayer of the Prophet?" She replied, "He used to sleep early at night, and get up in its last part to pray, and then return to his bed. When the Mu'adh-dhin pronounced the Adhan, he would get up. If he was in need of a bath he would take it; otherwise he would perform ablution and then go out (for the prayer)."
