THE DIFFERENT METHODS OF OFFERING THE NIGHT PRAYER

There are several ways by which a person is allowed to offer the night prayer; all of which have been reported from the Prophet ﷺ:

The First method consists of a single rak’ah, as proven by the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: 
((الوتر ركعة من آخر الليل))
"Witr is a rak'ah at the end of the night."
[Reported by Muslim on the authority of Ibn 'Umar -raḍhiyallāhu 'anhu-]

As well as the ḥadīth of Ḥudhayfah -raḍhiyallāhu 'anhu- wherein the Prophet ﷺ demonstrated this method practically; see link:
https://sunnah.com/muslim/6/242

The second method consists of eleven rak'ahs, wherein a person does not sit for tashahhud except in the eighth rak’ah. After this tashahhud, they stand up without making taslīm and offer one more rak’ah. Then after completing nine rak'ahs and saying taslīm, they pray an extra two rak’ahs while seated.
See link:
https://sunnah.com/muslim/6/168

The third method consists of nine rak'ahs, wherein a person does not sit for tashahhud except in the sixth rak'ah. After this tashahhud, they stand up without making taslīm and offer one more rak’ah. Then after completing seven rak'ahs and saying taslīm, they pray an extra two rak’ahs while seated.

NOTE: this method occurred when the Prophet ﷺ grew old. See previous link.

The fourth method consists of eleven rak’ahs, wherein a person says taslīm after every two rak’ahs and finishes with one rak’ah Witr. And this is the most common method, as proven by the statement of Prophet ﷺ:
((‏صلاة الليل مثنى مثنى، فإذا خفت الصبح فأوتر بواحدة‏))
"The night prayers consist of pairs, but if you fear that morning is near, then pray one Rak'ah as Witr."
[Bukhāri and Muslim]

The fifth method consists of thirteen rak’ahs, wherein a person says taslīm after every two rak’ahs during the first eight rak’ahs. After that, they offer Witr as five consecutive rak’ahs with one taslīm at the end.
See the link:
https://sunnah.com/muslim/6/149

NOTE: The two extra rak’ahs at the beginning of this method are either the two voluntary rak’ahs after ‘Ishā, or they are two specific rak’ahs with which a person begins the Night Prayer; as stated by Sheikh Albāni -raḥimahullāh. Similarly, Sheikh Muḥammad Ibn Hizām mentioned that these two rak’ahs could possibly be the two voluntary rak’ahs for Fajr, as mentioned in some of the narrations.
[Fat-ḥul 'Allām Vol. 2, Pg. 644]
See link:
https://sunnah.com/bulugh/2/282

The sixth method consists of eleven rak’ahs, wherein a person prays four consecutive rak’ahs with one taslīm, then another four rak’ahs in the same manner with one taslīm. After that they pray three rak’ahs Witr with one taslīm at the end.
See link:
https://sunnah.com/bulugh/2/281

NOTE: in the last two methods (5 & 6), a person is allowed to offer the final three/five rak’ahs with one taslīm, or they can say taslīm after every two rak’ahs; and this is more preferable. [Fat-ḥul Allām, Vol 2. Pg. 641]
_______________________________
These are the methods which have been reported from the Prophet ﷺ, although it's permissible for a person to pray any odd number of rak'ahs between one to 11/13; and the more the better, as An-Nawawi mentioned:

«قد سبق أن مذهبنا أن أقله ركعة، وأكثره إحدى عشرة، وفي وجه ثلاث عشرة، وما بين ذلك جائز، وكلما قرب من أكثره كان أفضل، وبهذا قال جمهور العلماء من الصحابة والتابعين»
[Sharḥul Muhadh-dhab (4/21)]

One should not pray more than eleven rak'ahs because Ā'ishah -raḍhiyallāhu 'anhā- said: The Prophet ﷺ did not offer more than eleven rak'ah (during the night prayer) in Ramaḍhān or in any other month."
[Reported by Bukhāri & Muslim]

The Nature Of The Self

Imaam As-Sa'dee

May Allaah Have Mercy Upon Him

"Another point worthy of note is that in the statement of Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta'aalaa) (interpretation of the meaning):

'Verily, the (human) self is inclined to evil, except when my Lord bestows His Mercy (upon whom He wills). Verily, my Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.' [Al-Qur'aan 12:53].

There is proof that this is the inherent nature of the self, and that it cannot be free of this nature except through Allaah's care and mercy. This is because the self is ignorant and corrupt, and ignorance and corruption breed nothing but evil.

If Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta'aalaa) is merciful to a slave and is kind to him by giving him practical knowledge and giving him an honest approach in his behaviour and actions, his self frees itself from this trait and becomes content with obedience to Allaah and His remembrance. It does not order its owner except to do virtuous acts, and its return will be to Allaah's grace and reward. Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta'aalaa) said (interpretation of the meaning):

'(It will be said to the pious): "O (you) the one in (complete) rest and satisfaction! Come back to your Lord, Well-pleased (yourself) and well-pleasing unto Him! Enter you, then, among My honoured slaves, and enter you My Paradise.' [Al-Qur'aan 89:27-30].

It is the individual's responsibility to strive for the rectification of his self and its deliverance from having this blameworthy nature - that it is an avid inciter to acts of evil. This is done through hard work and adopting the best behavioural traits, as well as constant prayer to Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta'aalaa) and frequent repetition of the following transmitted prayer:

اِهْدِنِي لأَحْسَنِ الأَخْلاَقِ لاَ يَهْدِي لأَحْسَنِهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا لاَ يَصْرِفُ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

(Translated meaning)

'(O Allaah) guide me to the best of manners, none guides to the best of it except You, and ward away from me the worst of it, none can ward it away from me except You.'

[Saheeh Muslim, No. 771].

[Lessons Learnt From The Story Of Yuusuf].

(You're advised to memorise and then implement this beautiful supplication in your life).

Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, advises you - O Sunni - to not allow the people of falsehood to be more patient upon falsehood than you are upon the truth. He said:

“These people are like you. They feel pain and they are patient, but their patience is in obedience to the devil.”

[Nuuniyyah, 2/604].

Invocation For Fear Of Shirk

O Allaah, I seek refuge in You lest I associate anything with You knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I know not.

*💢الصائمون يأكلون ويشربون والناس جياع في المحشر*❗️

🌒 *Those who fast will eat and drink while the people go hungry at the place of gathering (on the day of judgement) !*🌘

✍قال الشَّــيخُ العلّامــة صالح بن فوزان الفوزان حَـفظَهُ الله :

⁦🎙️⁩Shaykh Fawzan (May Allah Preserve him) said with regards to Allaah's statement:

۞ {كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ}

*(24. Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!)*[Al-Haqqah]

◉ قِيلَ : إنها نزلتْ في الصائمين، الذين منعوا أنفسَهُم في الدنيا من ملذاتِهَا بالصيامِ، وصَبَرُوا على ذلك ،

📍It was said that it was revealed concerning those who fast. Those who prevented themselves in the worldly life from its delights by fasting, and were patient upon that,


في يومِ القيامَةِ يُقالُ لهم:

On the day of judgement it would be said to them:

《 كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا أَسْلَفْتُمْ》

*(Eat and drink at ease for that which you have forwarded)*

يعني : قدَّمتم،

Meaning what you have sent forth (of good deeds)

《فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ》

*In days past*

▪️يعني: الصيام الذي صمتموه في الدنيا ، ومَنْعتُم أنفسَكُم مِنَ الأكلِ  والشربِ ، فيُقالُ لهم:

Meaning the fasting which you fasted in the dunya (worldly life), and you prevented yourselves from food and drink, so it will be said to them:

👈الآنَ كُلُوا واشربُوا هنيئًا ؛ لأنَّ الجزاءَ  مِنْ جنسِ العملِ ،

Now eat and drink at ease, because the reward and punishment are in accordance with the nature of one’s action.

•- فلمّا منعوا أنفسهم  فِي الدنيا منْ  شَهَواتِها ، وصَبَرُوا على الجوعِ و العطشِ طاعةٌ للهِ سبحانه و تعالى ، عَوَّضَهُم اللهُ يومَ القيامَةِ فَقالَ لهم:

When they prevented themselves in the dunya from its desires, and were patient upon hunger and thirst out of the obedience of Allaah (سبحانه و تعالى), Allaah compensated them on the day of judegement, so He said to them:

《 كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا أَسْلَفْتُمْ》

*(Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent forth).*

يعني بسببِ ما قدَّمْتُم

Meaning, because of what you have sent forth (of good deeds).

《فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ》

*In days past,*

   يعني الأيامَ الماضيةَ ، أيامَ الدنيا،

meaning the days of the past, the days of the dunya.

•- وهذا خاصٌّ بالصائمين،  يأكلون ويشربون ، والناسُ في المحشرِ في الجوعِ والعطشِ والضيقِ  والضنكِ ، وهم يأكلون على موائِدِهِم ويشربون

And this is specific to those who fast. They will eat and drink while the people in the mahshar (the plain of the day of judgement) are on hunger and thirst, and narrowness and hardship. And they will eat and drink at their dining tables.

{كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ}

*(24. Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!)*
[Al-Haqqah]

•• فهذا فيه فضلُ الصيامِ ،وفضلُ الصائمين، وأنَّهم يمتازون يومَ القيامةِ  على غيرِهِم  بهذه البشارةِ.


So this (verse) contains the virtues of fasting and the virtues of those who fast. And that they will be distinguished on the day of jugement above others with this glad tiding.

◾What to do after accidentally adding a prostration to the prayer?◾

Our Shaykh Abū Bilāl Al-Hadaramē - may Allāh preserve him- was asked the following question on 2nd Jamādā Ath-Thāniya 1441H (27th January 2020):

📝🔹Question:

The Questioner says: A man made three prostrations in his prayer and once he completed the prayer, the praying congregation informed him that he made three prostrations, so what should he do; should he perform two prostrations of forgetfulness or repeat the prayer?

📩🔸Answer:

No (he should not repeat the prayer), he makes two prostrations of forgetfulness after the salám and suffices with it for this forgetfulness and increase. For indeed, the decrease and increase are both prostrated for due to forgetfulness.

However, if there is a decrease in a pillar, the prostration of forgetfulness is insufficient. Rather, it is obligatory to perform the pillar first of all, then the prostration.

As for if there is an unintentional addition in a pillar, then he makes the prostration of forgetfulness for it after the salām.

He does not repeat the prayer, as long as he was informed shortly after (the prayer) by the praying congregation.

However if an extended period of time passes and he remembers, he repeats (the prayer).

_________________________________

Related Questions:

1. What does the one who became preoccupied in his prayer and does not know how many (units) he has prayed do?


2. What must the Imam do if he mistakenly says:
سِمِعَ الله لِمَنْ حَمِدَه
sami Allahu leman hamidah
(Allah responds to whoever praises him) instead of:
الله أَكْبَر
(Allah is the greatest)?
