Musnad Ahmad 21447

Translation

✧ We fasted with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during Ramadan, and he did not lead us in night prayer for anything of the month until seven nights remained. Then he led us until about a third of the night had passed. Then he did not lead us on the fourth night, but he led us on the following night until about half the night had passed. He said: We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, if only you would offer us supererogatory prayer for the rest of this night of ours!' He said: 'When a man stands with the imam until he finishes, the rest of his night is counted for him.' Then he did not lead us on the sixth night, but he led us on the seventh. He said: And he sent for his family, and the people gathered, and he led us until we feared we would miss the suhur. He said: I said: 'What is al-falah?' He said: 'The pre-dawn meal.'
