مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 99
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Ḥumayd said: Anas was asked about the night prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He replied: “Whenever we wanted to see him praying at night, we would certainly find him praying; and whenever we wanted to see him sleeping, we would certainly find him sleeping. He would fast during a month until we thought he would not break his fast at all throughout it, and he would not fast [for so many days] until we thought he would not fast at all during it.”

Musnad Aḥmad 99
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ: «مَا كُنَّا نَشَاءُ أَنْ نَرَاهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مُصَلِّيًا إِلَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ، وَمَا كُنَّا نَشَاءُ أَنْ نَرَاهُ نَائِمًا إِلَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ، وَكَانَ يَصُومُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ: لَا يُفْطِرُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ: لَا يَصُومُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا».

Chain: Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal → [Muḥammad] ibn Abī ʿAdiyy → Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl → Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: [Muḥammad] ibn Abī ʿAdiyy: thiqa thabt. Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl: thiqa. Anas ibn Mālik: Companion. Takhrīj: Aḥmad (3/104), no. 12012; al-Bukhārī (1141); Muslim (1160). The ḥadīth shows the Prophet’s ﷺ remarkable balance between worship and rest — never neglecting voluntary night prayer yet never overtaxing himself.
