## Arabic
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ أَبُو النَّضْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى ‏{‏سُنَّةَ الْفَجْرِ‏}‏ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مُسْتَيْقِظَةً حَدَّثَنِي وَإِلاَّ اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ بِالصَّلاَةِ‏.‏

## English Translation (Muhammad Muhsin Khan)
> Narrated 'Aisha : After offering the Sunna of the Fajr prayer, the Prophet used to talk to me, if I happen to be awake; otherwise he would lie down till the Iqama call was proclaimed (for the Fajr prayer).
