1359. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Prophet ﷺ used to pray thirteen Rak'ah at night." (Sahih)

Arabic text

1359 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً»

Commentary

The Hadith does not run counter to the Hadith mentioning eleven Rak'ah. By adding two Rak'ah of either 'Ishâ' or Fajr to Tahajjud the total number of Rak'ah reach thirteen. Another way to count the Rak'ah as thirteen could be seen under the coming H. 1362.
