[Machine] The prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at night, it was said: He used to pray thirteen Rak'ahs at night. He would pray nine Rak'ahs while standing, making odd numbers in them, and he would pray two Rak'ahs while sitting. When he wanted to prostrate, he would stand up, then perform a Rak'ah and prostrate. He would do this after Witr prayer, and he would pray two Rak'ahs when he heard the call to Fajr prayer.  

صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُصَلِّي تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَائِمًا يُوتِرُ فِيهِنَّ وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ جَالِسًا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ إِذَا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ بِالصُّبْحِ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two units of prayer after Witr, reciting in them while sitting. When he intended to go into prostration, he stood up and then performed the prostration. Abu Abdullah Ishaq ibn Muhammad al-Sousi narrated to us, Abu al-Abbas al-Asamm narrated to us, reporting from al-Abbas ibn al-Walid, who reported from my father, who reported from al-Awza'i, who reported from Yahya, who mentioned it.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ قَرَأَ فِيهِمَا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ السُّوسِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ أنبأ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى فَذَكَرَهُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray thirteen rak'ahs during the night, observing the witr prayer with nine (or as she said). He used to pray two rak'ahs while sitting and pray two rak'ahs of the dawn prayer between the adhan and the iqamah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1350)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعٍ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَرَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to pray nine Rak'ahs in Tahajjud, then he would pray seven Rak'ahs in Witr. After that, he would perform two Rak'ahs while sitting. He would recite in them. When he wanted to perform Rak'ah, he would stand and perform it, then prostrate. Abu Dawood narrated the Hadith twice. Khalid ibn Abd Allah narrated to Muhammad ibn Amr a similar Hadith. Alqamah ibn Waqqas said, "O mother, how did he pray the two Rak'ahs?" So he mentioned the meaning of what we had informed him. Wahb ibn Baqiyyah narrated from Khalid, "The Sheikh said, and we have narrated these two Rak'ahs in the Hadith of Sa'd ibn Hisham from Aisha from the Prophet, ﷺ , and in the narration of Al-Hasan from Sa'd he recites in them, 'Say, O disbelievers,' and when the earthquake occurred."  

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ بِسَبْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ وَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَى الْحَدِيثَيْنِ خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو مِثْلَهُ قَالَ فِيهِ قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَقَّاصٍ يَا أُمَّهْ كَيْفَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ؟ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى مَا حَدَّثَنَاهُ وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا هَاتَيْنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فِي حَدِيثِ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَإِذَا زُلْزِلَتْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray two rak'ahs after Witr while sitting, and this is the view of Al-Basri, and there is no problem with it except that he used to perform tasleem. Ahmad ibn Hanbal and others said this, and Allah knows best. It was narrated from Zakariya ibn Hakim from Al-Hasan, and Hisham differed from them. They narrated it from Al-Hasan and from Sa'ad ibn Hisham from Aisha. Al-Bukhari said: "And this is the most authentic."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ مَيْمُونٌ هَذَا بَصْرِيٌّ وَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُدَلِّسُ قَالَهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَغَيْرُهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَخَالَفَهُمَا هِشَامٌ فَرَوَاهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray two rak'ahs after Witr while sitting, and in them he would recite (the surah) 'When the earth is shaken' and (the surah) 'Say: O disbelievers'.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا إِذَا زُلْزِلَتْ وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray two units of prayer after Witr while sitting. In the first unit, he would recite Umm Al-Quran (Surah Al-Fatiha) and when he bowed, he would say "O Disbelievers." Abu Ghaleb and Utbah Ibn Abi Hakim reported this and it was narrated by Umara Bin Zadhan from Thabit from Anas regarding Witr - nine units then seven units. He would also pray two units while sitting, however, he would recite Al-Rahman and Al-Waqi'ah. Anas said, "And we would recite the short Surahs when they were revealed and 'O Disbelievers' and others like it."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَإِذَا زُلْزِلَتْ وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ أَبُو غَالِبٍ وَعُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ غَيْرُ قَوِيَّيْنِ وَرَوَاهُ عُمَارَةُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ فِي الْوِتْرِ بِتِسْعٍ ثُمَّ بِسَبْعٍ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَقَرَأَ فِيهِنَّ بِالرَّحْمَنِ وَالْوَاقِعَةِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ بِالسُّوَرِ الْقِصَارِ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتْ وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَنَحْوِهِمَا  

[Machine] On the authority of Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during a journey, and he said about this journey, 'It is tiring and burdensome. When any one of you observes the last prayer of the night, let him perform two units of prayer (rak'ahs) before Witr (the final prayer of the night). If he wakes up (in the last part of the night), otherwise they will be counted for him.' The Imam (may Allah, the Most High, have mercy on him) said: It is possible that what is meant by it is two units of prayer after Witr, and it is also possible that what is meant is if he wants to perform Witr, then let him perform two units of prayer before it."  

عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ فِي هَذَا السَّفَرِ جَهْدٌ وَثُقْلٌ فَإِذَا أَوْتَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَإِلَّا كَانَتَا لَهُ قَالَ الْإِمَامُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى يَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْمُرَادُ بِهِ رَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ وَيَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَرَادَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوتِرَ فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْوِتْرِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform nine units of voluntary prayer at night. When he grew older and became heavy, he reduced it to seven units. He would also perform two units of prayer while sitting, and in those two units, he would recite Surah Ar-Rahman (The Most Gracious) and Surah Al-Waqi'ah (The Inevitable). Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We used to recite the shorter Surahs when there was an earthquake, and we would recite Surah Al-Kafirun (The Disbelievers) and similar Surahs." Ammar ibn Zaid differed in reciting the Surahs that the Prophet ﷺ would recite in those two units, according to the other narrators.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ فَلَمَّا أَسَنَّ وَثَقُلَ أَوْتَرَ بِسَبْعٍ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَقَرَأَ فِيهِمَا الرَّحْمَنَ وَالْوَاقِعَةَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ بِالسُّوَرِ الْقِصَارِ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتْ وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَنَحْوِهِمَا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً يَقْرَأُ فِيهِنَّ خَالَفَ عُمَارَةُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ فِي قِرَاءَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيهِمَا سَائِرَ الرُّوَاةِ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to perform Witr prayer with seven (units) until he gained weight or his flesh increased, then he would perform Witr prayer with three (units) and would also perform two additional units while sitting, reciting in them the verse "Say, O disbelievers." Abu Sa'ad Al-Maalini narrated to us, Abu Ahmad bin 'Adi informed us, Ahmad bin Ali bin Al-Muthanna informed us, Abdul Wahid bin Ghayath informed us, Umamah bin Zathan narrated to me, and Abu Galib mentioned it. Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy upon him) used to say that Umamah bin Zathan would sometimes have some confusion in his narration.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِسَبْعٍ حَتَّى إِذَا بَدَّنَ وَكَثُرَ لَحْمُهُ أَوْتَرَ بِثَلَاثٍ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا إِذَا زُلْزِلَتْ وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ثنا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَالِبٍ فَذَكَرَهُ وَكَانَ الْبُخَارِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ يَقُولُ عُمَارَةُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ رُبَّمَا يَضْطَرِبُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ
