[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to, when he finished praying the night prayer, enter the house and perform two Rak'ahs, and then perform two longer Rak'ahs after them. Then he would perform Witr with three Rak'ahs without any separation between them. Then he would perform two Rak'ahs while sitting, bowing and prostrating while he was sitting.  

أحمد:٢٥٢٢٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ يَعْفُرَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ دَخَلَ الْمَنْزِلَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهُمَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَطْوَلَ مِنْهُمَا ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ بِثَلَاثٍ لَا يَفْصِلُ فِيهِنَّ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ يَرْكَعُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَيَسْجُدُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ جَالِسٌ
