2923. Ya'lā bin Mamlak narrated that he asked Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, about the recitation of the Prophet ﷺ and his Salāt. She said: "What can you do compared to his Salāt? He would pray and then sleep as long as he had prayed. Then he would pray as long as he had slept. Then he slept as long as he had prayed until the morning." Then she described his recitation. So she described his recitation as word by word." (Ḥasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb. We do not know of it except as a narration of Laith bin Sa'd, from Ibn Abī Mulaikah, from Ya'lā bin Mamlak, from Umm Salamah.
Ibn Juraij reported this Hadīth from Ibn Abī Mulaikah, from Umm Salamah, that the Prophet ﷺ would separate (word from word in) his recitation, and the narration, of Al-Laith is more correct.

Commentary
The Prophet would perform the night prayer in various forms, in order to make it easy and light for those who would follow him in the night prayer. They might follow whatever way they like. He would recite slowly and word for word, each word and letter would be heard and understood.
