Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ - ابْنِ أَبِي عَتَّابٍ، أَوْ غَيْرِهِ - عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا صَلَّى رَكْعَتَىِ الْفَجْرِ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ نَائِمَةً اضْطَجَعَ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ مُسْتَيْقِظَةً حَدَّثَنِي ‏.‏

Translation

Musaddad narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ziyad ibn Sa'd, from someone who told him—Ibn Abi Attab or another—from Abu Salamah, who said: Aishah said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the two rak'ahs before dawn, he would lie down if I was asleep, and speak with me if I was awake.
