[Machine] He said, "I will accompany the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for night prayer." So, I laid down at his threshold or mat, and he prayed two quick rak'ahs. Then, he prayed two long rak'ahs. Then, he prayed two rak'ahs that were shorter than the two before them. Then, he prayed two rak'ahs that were shorter than the two before them. Then, he prayed two rak'ahs that were shorter than the two before them. Then, he prayed two rak'ahs that were shorter than the two before them. Then, he performed Witr prayer. That makes a total of thirteen rak'ahs." Abdullah said, "Mus'ab narrated to us from his father, who narrated from Malik, who narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Bakr, who narrated from his father, that Abdullah bin Qais bin Makhrama reported to him from Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani. He mentioned the hadith but did not mention Abdur Rahman in the narration from Malik from his father. The correct narration is that Mus'ab and Ma'n narrated from their father, and Abdur Rahman is not mentioned in it. They are trustworthy in it."
