Hadith #40116
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّىْ فِيمَا بَين أَنْ يَّفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ إِحْدى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُسَلِّمُ مِنْ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ فَيَسْجُدُ السَّجْدَةَ مِنْ ذلِكَ قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ ايَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَه فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْفَجْرُ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ عَلى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ حَتّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ لِلإِقَامَةِ فَيَخْرُجَ. (مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ)
On the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, she said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to pray eleven rak’ahs between the end of the evening prayer and the dawn prayer. He says the salaam from every two rak'ahs, and prays the Witr prayer with one, and prostrates that prostration as much as one of you recites fifty verses before raising his head. So, when the muezzin of the Fajr prayer is silent and the dawn prayer becomes clear to him, he gets up and prostrates two light rak’ahs, then lies on his right side until The muezzin comes to him for the residence and he leaves.
