Book 19: Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)

Chapter 10 How was the Salat of the Prophet (pbuh) and how many Rak'a he used to offer at night?
باب كَيْفَ كَانَ صَلاَةُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَمْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ
Sahih al-Bukhari 1139

Narrated Masruq:

I asked Aisha about the night prayer of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and she said, “It was seven, nine or eleven
rak`at besides the two rak`at of the Fajr prayer (i.e. Sunna). “

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ عَنْ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِاللَّيْلِ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ سَبْعٌ وَتِسْعٌ وَإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سِوَى رَكْعَتَىِ الْفَجْرِ‏.‏
