Hadith 3419
That he asked `Aisha "How was the prayer of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the month of Ramadan?" She replied,
"He used not to pray more than eleven rak`at whether in Ramadan or in any other month. He used to
offer four rak`at, let alone their beauty and length, and then four rak`at, let alone their beauty and
length. Afterwards he would offer three rak`at. I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do you go to bed before
offering the witr prayer?' He said, 'My eyes sleep, but my heart does not sleep."'
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 61, Hadith 78

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to talk so clearly that if somebody wanted to count the number of his words, he
could do so. Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair: `Aisha said (to me), "Don't you wonder at Abu so-and-so
who came and sat by my dwelling and started relating the traditions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intending to let
me hear that, while I was performing an optional prayer. He left before I finished my optional prayer.
Had I found him still there. I would have said to him, 'Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never talked so quickly and
vaguely as you do.' " Sahih al-Bukhari Book 61, Hadith 77

I heard Anas bin Malik telling us about the night when the Prophet (ﷺ) was made to travel from the Ka`ba
Mosque. Three persons (i.e. angels) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) before he was divinely inspired was an
Aspostle), while he was sleeping in Al Masjid-ul-Haram. The first (of the three angels) said, "Which
of them is he?" The second said, "He is the best of them." That was all that happened then, and he did
not see them till they came at another night and he perceived their presence with his heart, for the eyes
of the Prophet (ﷺ) were closed when he was asleep, but his heart was not asleep (not unconscious). This is
characteristic of all the prophets: Their eyes sleep but their hearts do not sleep. Then Gabriel took
charge of the Prophet (ﷺ) and ascended along with him to the Heaven. Sahih al-Bukhari Book 61, Hadith 79
