SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ got up at night and performed wudu, then prayed six rak'ahs and witr with three rak'ahs.

Sufyan narrated from Habib bin Abi Thabit, from Muhammad bin Ali, from his father, from his grandfather, that: The Prophet got up at night and cleaned his teeth, then he prayed two rak'ahs, then he slept. Then he got up and cleaned his teeth, then he performed wudu and prayed two rak'ahs, until he had prayed six. Then he prayed witr with three rak'ahs, and prayed two rak'ahs.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْتَنَّ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ نَامَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَاسْتَنَّ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى صَلَّى سِتًّا ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ بِثَلاَثٍ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of prayer in Islam. It is narrated that the Prophet got up at night to perform wudu and pray two rak’ahs until he had prayed six. He then prayed witr with three rak’ahs followed by two more rak’ahs. This shows us how important it is to pray regularly and especially during the night as it brings one closer to Allah SWT. It also teaches us that we should take care of our hygiene before praying by performing wudu which is a ritual cleansing before prayer in Islam.

The Prophet's example serves as an inspiration for all Muslims to follow suit in their daily lives so they can be closer to Allah SWT through prayer and supplication. We should strive to make our prayers meaningful by focusing on what we are saying while prostrating ourselves before Allah SWT in humility and submission so that we can reap its rewards both in this world and hereafter inshaAllah!
