[Machine] One night, I stayed with the Prophet ﷺ to observe how he prays. He approached a carved log that was hanging on the wall, performed ablution, and then prayed two units of prayer. His standing posture was similar to his bowing posture, and his bowing posture was similar to his prostration. He then slept and woke up, performed ablution, sprinkled water on himself, and recited fifty verses from Surah Al-Imran: "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day..." He continued to do this until he prayed ten units of prayer. After that, he stood up and performed one prostration and performed the Witr prayer with it. At that moment, the caller to prayer made the call, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up after the caller was silent and prayed two light prostrations. Then he sat until he prayed the Fajr prayer.
بِتُّ لَيْلَةً عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لِأَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي فَقَامَ إِلَى قِرْبَةٍ مُعَلَّقَةٍ بِوَتَدٍ فِي الْجِدَارِ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ قِيَامُهُ مِثْلُ رُكُوعِهِ وَرُكُوعُهُ مِثْلُ سُجُودِهِ ثُمَّ نَامَ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ الْخَمْسِينَ آيَةً مِنْ آلِ عِمْرَانَ {إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّماوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ} فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَفْعَلْ هَذَا حَتَّى صَلَّى عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي سَجْدَةً وَاحِدَةً فَأَوْتَرَ بِهَا وَنَادَى الْمُنَادِي عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَمَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَصَلَّى سَجْدَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ حَتَّى صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ
