288 - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَثَّامُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَيَسْتَاكُ "

Commentary
a. As regards the prayer of Tahajjud, the Prophet ﷺ was most often used to perform two Rak'ah units by two, until he made a total of eleven Rak'ahs including the Witr prayer. b. As has already been mentioned, the Prophet ﷺ often used a tooth stick even while preparing for the prayer of Tahajjud (see H. 286). Here it is mentioned that he used to do it even after each two Rak'ah.
