1339. Mālik reported from Hishām bin 'Urwah, from his father, from 'Āishah, that she said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would pray thirteen Rak'ahs during the night, then, when he heard the call for the morning (prayer), he would pray two light Rak'ahs."(Sahīh)

Arabic text

1339 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي إِذَا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ بِالصُّبْحِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ»

Commentary

This Hadīth adds the first two Rak'ahs, which the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to say before he began his late-night prayer, to the eleven Rak'ahs, making a total of thirteen Rak'ahs.
