[Machine] The Prophet, ﷺ , used to wake up at night, yawn, perform ablution, and recite Surah Al-Muzzammil until the last two verses. Then he would stand and pray two units of prayer, then he would go back to sleep until he started snoring. Then he would wake up and do the same thing as before. Then he would go to his sleeping place and stand and pray two units of prayer, then he would do the same as before, just like he did the first time. Then he would perform Witr prayer with three units.
