Sunan Abi Dawud 1365 (Book 5, Hadith 116) #21657
The Prophet's Night Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ prayed thirteen rak'ahs of prayer, including two rak'ahs of the dawn prayer, and he stood in each rak'ah for a long time while reciting Surah al-Muzzammil (73).

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: I spent a night with my maternal aunt Maymunah. The Prophet got up to pray at night. He prayed thirteen rak'ahs including two rak'ahs of the dawn prayer. I guessed that he stood in every rak'ah as long as one could recite Surah al-Muzzammil (73).
حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ ‏:‏ بِتُّ عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَصَلَّى ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنْهَا رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ، حَزَرْتُ قِيَامَهُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِقَدْرِ ‏{‏ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ ‏}‏ لَمْ يَقُلْ نُوحٌ ‏:‏ مِنْهَا رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ
