Sunan Ibn Majah 1325 (Book 5, Hadith 523) #30677
The Night Prayer Etiquette

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that night prayers should be offered in pairs, with the Tashah-hud recited after each two Rak'ah and hands raised in humility while saying "Allahummaghfir li".

It was narrated that Muttalib that is, Ibn Abu Wada’ah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The night prayers are (to be offered) two by two. Say the Tashah-hud after each two Rak'ah, and raise your hands in all humility like one who is poor and needy and say: 'Allahummaghfir li (O Allah, forgive me).’ And whoever does not do that, it is imperfect.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ أَبِي أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَافِعِ بْنِ الْعَمْيَاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ - قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى. وَتَشَهَّدُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. وَتَبَاءَسُ وَتَمَسْكَنُ وَتُقْنِعُ. وَتَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي. فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ، فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ
