UNITS OF PRAYER BEFORE MID-DAY, EVENING AND NIGHT PRAYERS

1137

“When the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, was in my (Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her) house he would offer four units of prayer before the mid-day prayer. Then he would go to lead the prayer, come back and offer two units of prayer. After he led the evening (magrib) prayer, he would return and offer two units of prayer. After he had led the night (isha) prayer he would return and offer two units of prayer.”

Muslim with a chain up to Lady Ayesha, wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, Mother of Believers who related this.
