Hadith #358
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّث
َنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فِيمَا بَيْنَ عِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى أَنْ يَنْصَدِعَ الْفَجْرُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُسَلِّمُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ وَيَمْكُثُ فِي سُجُودِهِ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ بِخَمْسِينَ آيَةً فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet ﷺ prayed eleven rak'ahs between the late Isha prayer and the break of dawn. He would give the salam after every two rak'ahs and perform witr with one. His prostrations lasted as long as it would take one of you to recite fifty verses. When the muadhdhin fell silent, he would rise, pray two short rak'ahs, then lie down on his right side until the muadhdhin came to announce the prayer.
