1363. Al-Aswad bin Yazīd narrated that he visited ‘Āishah and asked her regarding the night prayer of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ. She said: “He would pray thirteen Rak’ahs at night, then he started praying eleven (instead) — leaving two Rak’ahs. When the Prophet ﷺ died, he used to pray nine Rak’ahs, and his last prayer at night was the Witr.” (Ṣaḥīh)

Arabic text

1363 - حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَتْ: «كَانَ يُصَلِّي ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ صَلَّى إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، وَتَرَكَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قُبِضَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ قُبِضَ، وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، وَكَانَ آخِرُ صَلَاتِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ الْوِتْرَ»
