Narrated Abu Salama bin Abdur Rahman: that he asked Aisha “How was the prayer of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) in Ramadan?” She replied, “He did not pray more than eleven rakat in Ramadan or in any other month. He used to pray four rakat —- let alone their beauty and length—-and then he would pray four —-let alone their beauty and length —- and then he would pray three rakat (witr).” She added, “I asked, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)! Do you sleep before praying the witr?’ He replied, ‘OAisha! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.”
Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 31, Hadith 6
