[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."
