[Machine] He asked Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , about the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ , so she said, "He used to pray the last night prayer, then he would glorify Allah, and then he would pray whatever Allah willed of the night after that. Then he would leave and sleep like he prayed, and then he would wake up from his sleep and pray the same as he slept, and his last prayer would be until dawn."
