Sunan an-Nasai 685 (Book 7, Hadith 60) #15293
Praying Between 'Isha and Fajr

SUMMARY: The Prophet (S.A.W) used to pray eleven Rak'ahs between the time of 'Isha' and Fajr, prostrating for as long as it takes one to recite fifty verses, then praying two brief Rak'ahs before going out with the Mu'adhdhin when he could see the dawn.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "Between the time when he finished 'Isha' prayer and Fajr, the Prophet (S.A.W) used to pray eleven Rak'ahs, saying the Taslim after each two Rak'ahs, then praying Witr as one Rak'ah. He would prostrate for as long as it takes one of you to recite fifty verses, then he would raise his head. When the Mu'adhdhin finished the call to Fajr prayer and he could see the dawn, he would pray two brief Rak'ahs, then he would go out with him". Some of these narrators (Ibn Abi Dhi'b, Yunus and 'Amr bin Al-Harith) added some phrases not mentioned by the others in the Hadith.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، وَيُونُسُ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُصَلِّي فِيمَا بَيْنَ أَنْ يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُسَلِّمُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ وَيَسْجُدُ سَجْدَةً قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْفَجْرُ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ بِالإِقَامَةِ فَيَخْرُجُ مَعَهُ وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْحَدِيثِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray eleven rak'ahs between Isha & fajar
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should pray eleven Rak’ahs between ‘Isha’ and Fajr prayers. During each two Rak’ahs, we should say Taslim after which we should perform Witr prayer as one Rak’ah. We should also prostrate for a long time during each prayer, reciting fifty verses in total during all of them. When the Mu’adhdhin calls for Fajr prayer and it is almost dawn, we should perform two brief Rak’ahs before going out with him to attend the congregational prayer in mosque. This hadith teaches us about how important it is to be punctual in our prayers and how much Allah loves those who are devoted to Him by performing their prayers on time every day without fail or delay.
