( أَخْبَرَنَا ) مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَنْبَأَ بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْحَرِيرِيُّ، ثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ:
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ ؓ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، يُصَلِّي تِسْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَائِمًا يُوتِرُ فِيهِنَّ، وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ جَالِسًا، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ، يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ، وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ إِذَا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ بِالصُّبْحِ

That he asked 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) about the night prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and she said: "He would pray thirteen rak'ahs at night. He would pray nine rak'ahs standing, making Witr with them, and pray two rak'ahs sitting. When he wanted to bow, he would stand, bow, and prostrate. He did this after the Witr, and he would pray two rak'ahs when he heard the call to prayer for Subh."
