A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the night prayer, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The night prayer is two ˹rakahs˺, then two ˹rakahs, and so on˺. Then, when one of you fears that dawn is near, let him pray one rakah, which will make odd what he has already prayed."

أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً تُوتِرُ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى».

Prayer during the night should consist of pairs of rak'ahs, but if one of you fears morning is near, he should pray one rak'ah which will make his prayer an odd number for him.
