[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the offering of the night prayer and encouraged it, to the point that he said, "You must perform the night prayer, even if it is only one recitation (rak'ah)." And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left, and there was a man who prayed after the congregational prayer had been established. He also said, "Are you done with two prayers together?"
