Sahih al-Bukhari 1123 (Book 19, Hadith 3) #1082
Prolonged Prostration in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to pray eleven rak'at and would prolong his prostration to the point where one could recite fifty verses of the Quran before he lifted his head. He also used to pray two rak'at before Fajr prayer.

Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Messenger used to offer eleven rak'at and that was his prayer. He used to prolong the prostration to such an extent that one could recite fifty verses (of the Qur'an) before he would lift his head. He used to pray two rak'at (Sunna) before the Fajr prayer and then used to lie down on his right side till the call-maker came and informed him about the prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، كَانَتْ تِلْكَ صَلاَتَهُ، يَسْجُدُ السَّجْدَةَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، وَيَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ، ثُمَّ يَضْطَجِعُ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُنَادِي لِلصَّلاَةِ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Offer prayers regularly with dedication & patience

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Aisha speaks about the importance of prayer in Islam and how it should be done. It is said that Prophet Muhammad used to offer eleven rak’ats of prayer and would prolong his prostration so much that one could recite fifty verses from the Qur’an before he lifted his head. This shows us how important it is for Muslims to take their time while praying and not rush through it. Additionally, Prophet Muhammad also prayed two extra rak’ats before Fajr prayer which further emphasizes on the importance of offering prayers regularly and with dedication.
