Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about the night prayer (Tahajjud). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The night prayer is offered in pairs of two rak‘ahs. Then when one of you fears that dawn is approaching, he should pray one rak‘ah, which will make whatever he has prayed odd (witr) for him."

Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray eleven rak’ahs, that is, this was his (peace and blessings be upon him) tahajjud prayer. In it, his prostration was so (long) that any one of you could recite fifty verses before he (peace and blessings be upon him) would raise his head. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two rak’ahs before the Fajr prayer, then he would lie on his right side until the muezzin would come to him (peace and blessings be upon him) to inform him of the prayer.

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Witr prayer in every part of the night: sometimes at the beginning of the night, sometimes in the middle, and sometimes at the end of the night. And in the end, the Witr of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be close to the time of dawn.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "(O people!) Make your last prayer at night the Witr."

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to offer the Witr prayer on his mount while traveling.

It was asked from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited Qunoot in the morning prayer? He said: Yes. Then it was asked whether the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited Qunoot before bowing? He said: After bowing, for a few days.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): He was asked about Qunoot, so he informed that indeed Qunoot used to be recited during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Then he was asked: before bowing (ruku‘) or after bowing? He replied: before bowing. It was said that so-and-so person has reported from you that you said Qunoot was recited after bowing. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He is a liar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited Qunoot after bowing for only one month. I think that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent some people who were called Qurra’ (reciters of the Qur’an), about seventy in number, to the polytheists of Najd, not to those people (who killed them), and there was a treaty (of peace) between them and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), (but those people broke the treaty and killed those Qurra’ without any reason). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) supplicated against them for a month. Similarly, in another narration, it is mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited Qunoot for a month and supplicated against the tribes of Ra‘l and Dhakwaan.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Qunoot used to be recited in Maghrib and Fajr prayers.
