The Prophet's Night Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to pray thirteen rak'ahs at night, eight of them followed by witr and two sitting down. He also prayed two rak'ahs between the adhan and iqamah of subh prayer.

It was narrated from Abu Salamah that : He asked Aishah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah at night. She said: "He used to pray thirteen rak'ahs. He would pray eight rak'ahs then pray witr, then pray two rak'ahs sitting down. When he wanted to bow he would stand and bow, and he prayed two rak'ahs between the adhan and iqamah of subh prayer.
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلاَةِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِاللَّيْلِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُصَلِّي ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ الأَذَانِ وَالإِقَامَةِ فِي صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the prayer routine of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during the night. He used to pray thirteen rak’ahs in total, eight of which were followed by witr, then he would sit down for two more rak’ahs. Additionally, he would pray two more rak’ahs between the adhan and iqamah of subh prayer. This shows us how important it is for Muslims to make time for their prayers even during late hours at night as this was a practice done by our beloved prophet ﷺ himself. It also teaches us that we should be consistent with our prayers and not miss any opportunity to connect with Allah SWT through salat or any other form of worship.
