Aisha r.a. narrated that the Prophet s.a.w prayer thirteen raka'ahs of the<br />

night prayer [tahajjud] <strong>and</strong> that included the Witr <strong>and</strong> two raka'ahs<br />

supererogatory [Sunnah] of the Fajr prayer. Sahih al-Bukhari<br />

It was narrated that Aisha r.a said that “Allah’s Messenger s.a.w never<br />

exceeded eleven raka'ahs even in Ramadan or in other months; he used<br />

to offer four raka'ahs, do not ask me about their beauty <strong>and</strong> length, then<br />

four raka'ahs, do not ask me about their beauty <strong>and</strong> length, <strong>and</strong> then<br />

three raka'ahs.”<br />

Aisha r.a. further said, “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Do you sleep<br />

before offering the witr prayer?’ He s.a.w replied, ‘O Aisha! My eyes<br />

sleep but my heart remains awake.’”<br />

Sahih al-Bukhari<br />

Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin narrated that the Prophet s.a.w said: “Any<br />

person who offers prayer at night regularly but (on a certain night) he is<br />

overwhelmed by sleep will be given the reward of praying. His sleep<br />

will be almsgiving.”<br />

AbuDawud<br />

AbuJamrah r.a. narrated that “I asked A'idh ibn Amr, (who was one of<br />

the companions of the Prophet s.a.w. <strong>and</strong> one of those who gave the<br />

Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet s.a.w beneath the Tree): “Can the<br />

Witr prayer be repeated (in one night)?” A’idh ibn Amr said that he<br />

s.a.w. said, “If you have offered it in the first part of the night, you<br />

should not repeat it in the last part of the night.” Sahih al-Bukhari<br />

Abdullah ibn Umar narrated that Allah’s Messenger s.a.w said: “Witr is<br />

a raka'ah at the end of the prayer”.<br />

Sahih Muslim<br />
