Tafsiri ya Kiswahili

Kutoka kwa Aisha (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) reported: "The Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) did not observe more than eleven Rak'ah (of Tahajjud swala), be in Ramadan or any other month. First of all he would perform four Rak'ah. Ask not about their excellence and their length. He (ﷺ) would then perform four more Rak'ah; and do not ask about their excellence and their length. Then he would perform three Rak'ah (Witr swala). ('Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) added) I submitted: "Ewe Mjumbe wa Allah! Do you sleep before performing the Witr swala?" He (ﷺ) said, "O 'Aishah! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep."."
