`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did not observe more
than eleven Rak`ah (of Tahajjud prayers), be in Ramadan or any other month. First of all he would perform four
Rak`ah. Ask not about their excellence and their length. He (PBUH) would then perform four more Rak`ah; and do
not ask about their excellence and their length. Then he would perform three Rak`ah (Witr prayer). (`Aishah (May
Allah be pleased with her) added) I submitted: "O Messenger of Allah! Do you sleep before performing the Witr
prayer?'' He (PBUH) said, "
O `Aishah! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
1."
My heart does not sleep
'' signifies that "u
sually I am not so overwhelmed by sleep that I miss the Salat
''. Some
people give a different interpretation of this by saying that his Wudu' remained intact as his heart was awake. This is
one of the attributes of the Prophet (PBUH). This Hadith stresses on performing Salat with full decorum and
concentration because this is the way the Prophet (PBUH) did it. The real beauty of Salat lies in performing it in
accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) and with full peace of mind.
2. If one is confident of getting up in the later part of the night, one can perform Witr after Tahajjud prayer; but if
one is not sure of getting up at the time of Tahajjud then it is better to perform Witr after `Isha' prayer.

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
The Prophet (PBUH) would sleep during the early part of
night and stand in Salat during the latter part
.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us about the ordinary routine of the Prophet (PBUH). Ordinarily, he would go to
sleep in the first part of the night and perform Tahajjud prayer in the later portion, which is the best time for it. But,
as already mentioned in the preceding Ahadith, he sometimes also performed it in the early as well as middle hours
of the night.

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
One night I joined the Prophet (PBUH) in his
(optional) Salat. He (PBUH) prolonged the Qiyam (standing) so much that I made up my mind to commit an act of
wrong.
He was questioned: "
What did you intend to do?
'
'
He replied:
"I intended to sit down and stop following him
(in Salat)
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that:
1. Qiyam-ul-Lail (Tahajjud prayer) must be fairly long and every constituent of it should be performed with full
peace of mind.
2. It is permissible to perform Nafl Salat in congregation.
3. In case an Imam inordinately lengthens a Salat, it is permissible for his followers to detach themselves from the
congregation. But Ibn Mas`ud has regarded his intention to do so as bad, and for this reason its justification becomes
doubtful. Since the Imam has been exhorted to take care of his followers in Salat, this apparently furnishes
justification for the detachment.
