[Machine] I asked the mother of the believers, Aisha, how was the night prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? She said, "He used to pray the night prayer, then he would mention a hadith, and then he would pray two units while standing, raising his voice as if he was awakening us. He would actually awaken us. Then, he would make a supplication that we could hear, and then he would make the salaam, raising his voice with it."  

أحمد:٢٥٩٨٨حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ بَهْزِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لِأُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَائِشَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَائِمًا يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ كَأَنَّهُ يُوقِظُنَا بَلْ يُوقِظُنَا ثُمَّ يَدْعُو بِدُعَاءٍ يُسْمِعُنَا ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمَةً يَرْفَعُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ
