Arabic text

1360 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ «يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ»

Commentary

Of this, eight Rak'ah were of Tahajjud and one of Witr. Another possibility is that he ﷺ prayed six Rak'ah of Tahajjud following it by three Rak'ah of Witr.
