It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from any place where he had stopped, he would bid that place farewell by praying two rak'ahs. This hadith is sahih (authentic), but they did not record it, and Uthman bin Sa'd al-Katib is among those whose hadith is collected among the Basrans.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever wakes up at night and wakes his family as well, and then the two of them pray two rak'ahs together, both of them are written among the men who remember Allah much and the women who remember Allah much." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
