SIX DIFFERENT WAYS TO OFFER THE NIGHT PRAYER

1⃣ - Praying a single rak’ah.

The Prophet ﷺ said: 
((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-]

And in the ḥadīth of Ḥudhayfah raḍhiyallāhu 'anhu the Prophet ﷺ demonstrated this practically;
https://sunnah.com/muslim/6/242

2⃣ - Praying nine consecutively with tashahhud in the eighth, then without making tasleem you stand for the ninth. Upon completion you make tasleem and offer two separate rak’ahs while seated (you should stand to perform rukoo') = 11 Rak'ahs in total
https://sunnah.com/muslim/6/168

3⃣ - Praying seven consecutively with tashahhud in the sixth, then without making tasleem you stand for the seventh. Upon completion you make tasleem and offer two separate rak’ahs while seated (you should stand to perform rukoo') = 9 Rak'ahs in total.

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

4⃣ - Praying 10 rak’ahs in pairs, then offering one rak’ah separately = 11 Rak'ahs in total.

This is the most common method due to 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]

5⃣ - Praying 8 rak’ahs in pairs, then five consecutive rak’ahs with one tasleem = 13 rak'ahs in total.
https://sunnah.com/muslim/6/149

NOTE: The first two rak’ahs in this method are either the two voluntary rak’ahs after ‘Ishā, or two introductory rak’ahs with which one begins the Night Prayer as stated by Sheikh Albāni -raḥimahullāh. It's also possible that the two extra rak’ahs are in fact the two voluntary rak’ahs for Fajr as mentioned in some of the narrations.
https://sunnah.com/bulugh/2/282

6⃣ - Praying four consecutive rak’ahs with one tasleem, then another four consecutive rak’ahs in the same manner, then three consecutive rak’ahs with one tashahhud in the final rak‘ah = 11 Rak'ahs in total
https://sunnah.com/bulugh/2/281

NOTE: in the last two methods (5 & 6) you can offer the final three/five rak’ahs with one tasleem at the end, or make tasleem between every two rak’ahs.
____

These are the methods reported from the Prophet ﷺ, although it's permissible for one to pray any odd number of rak'ahs between one to 11/13; the more the better as An-Nawawi mentions:

«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 avoid praying more than eleven rak'ahs a night because the best guidance is the guidance of the Prophet ﷺ.

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]

Bear in mind, Ā'ishah radhiyallahu anha is unmatched in her knowledge in this field, as Ibn Abbās confirmed when he said to Sa‘d ibn Hishām: “Shall I not direct you to the most knowledgeable person on earth with regards to the Prophet's night prayer (Witr)? He (Hishām) asked, Who? So he said, 'Ā'ishah. Go to her and ask her, then return back to me and inform me of her answer.
[Muslim (746)]

EXERT YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE LAST TEN - NOT JUST THE ODD NIGHTS❗️

Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah -raḥimahullāh- was asked:

When should we look out for Laylatul Qadr?

He responded (paraphrasing):

“Laylatul Qadr occurs during the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān, as is authentically established from the Prophet ﷺ, who said:

((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ)).

“Look out for Laylatul Qadr during the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān.”
[Reported by Bukhāri & Muslim on the authority of ‘Ā'ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā]

And In the version of Bukhāri, he ﷺ specifically said:

((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْوِتْرِ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ)).

"Look out for Laylatul Qadr during the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān."

However, it's important to note that there are two methods of calculating the odd nights:

1⃣ - THE FIRST is to count the days that have already passed; such that Laytul Qadr falls on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night of Ramaḍhān.

or

2⃣ - THE SECOND is to count the days that remain, as the Prophet ﷺ said:

((الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي تَاسِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي سَابِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي خَامِسَةٍ تَبْقَى)).

“Look out for the Laylatul Qadr during the REMAINING TEN NIGHTS of Ramaḍhān; on the night when nine or seven or five nights remain.”
[Reported by Bukhāri on the authority of Ibn Abbās -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhumā]

So according to this method, if Ramaḍhān consisted of 30 days -and only Allāh knows if this will be the case- LAYLATUL QADR MIGHT FALL ON ONE OF THE EVEN NIGHTS, because the 22nd will be the night when nine remains, the 24th will be the night when seven remains, and the 26th will be the night when five remains.

This was the understanding of Abū Sa‘īd Al-Khudri -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu-:

Muslim reports that Abun Naḍhr enquired:

يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ! إِنَّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِالْعَدَدِ مِنَّا‏.‏ قَالَ: أَجَلْ! نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ.‏ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا التَّاسِعَةُ وَالسَّابِعَةُ وَالْخَامِسَةُ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا مَضَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا ثِنْتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ وَهْىَ التَّاسِعَةُ، فَإِذَا مَضَتْ ثَلاَثٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا السَّابِعَةُ، فَإِذَا مَضَى خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا الْخَامِسَةُ.

“O Abū Sa‘īd, you know more than us about (these) numbers. He said: Yes, indeed we have better right than you. I said: What is this ninth, seventh, and fifth? He said: When 21 (nights are over) and the 22nd begins, it is the ninth. When 23 (nights) are over, that which follows (i.e. the 24th) is the seventh. When 25 nights are over, what follows (i.e. the 26th) is the fifth.”

If, however, Ramaḍhān consists of 29 days, then these two forms of calculations will be exactly the same.

This being the case, it is only befitting that the believer works hard throughout the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān - NOT JUST THE ODD NIGHTS.

This was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ as ‘Ā’ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā- said:

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ - أي العشر الأواخر من رمضان - شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ، وَأَحْيَا لَيْلَهُ، وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ‏.‏

“With the start of the last ten days of Ramaḍhān, the Prophet ﷺ would tighten his waist sheet (i.e. work hard and refrain from sexual relations), pray throughout the night, and he would also wake his wives.”
[Reported by Bukhāri & Muslim]

It was narrated from 'Ā'ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā- that she said:

"O Messenger of Allāh, what should I say in my supplication if I reach Laylatul-Qadr?"
He said: "Say: 'Allāhumma innaka 'afuwwun tuḥibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni
(O Allāh, You are Forgiving and love to forgive, so forgive me).'"

Reported by Tirmithī (8025) | graded "Ṣaḥīḥ" by Sheikh Albāni in Silsilah Aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥah
__________________________

There must be a reason why the Prophet ﷺ specified this du'ā, so let's reflect over the meanings contained in these concise words...

The word ‘Afw (pardon/wellbeing) entails:

1⃣ - wellbeing in one's limbs

2⃣ - wellbeing in one's religion

3⃣ - pardon and forgiveness from Allāh

Wellbeing in one's limbs is that the person is cured and saved from all sorts of illnesses.

Wellbeing in one's religion is that the person is given success to perform righteous deeds.

Pardon & forgiveness from Allāh is that He overlooks and pardons a person by erasing their sins and not punishing them.

Additionally, from the linguistic meanings of "Al 'Afw" is:
increment and abundance.

So ‘Afw in wealth refers to it’s increment, just as Allāh ﷻ said:

{یَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَا یُنفِقُونَۖ قُلِ ٱلۡعَفۡوَ}

“They ask you [O Mūḥammad ﷺ] what they should spend, Say, Al 'Afw”
[Sūrah Al-Baqarah 219]

i.e. that which is surplus to one's necessary expenditure.

And Allāh's ‘Afw is that He grants a person what he asks for AND MORE.

So let us increase in repeating this du'ā without slackening - especially during these blessed nights.

((اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي))

“O Allāh, You are the One Who pardons and loves to pardon, so pardon us.”

Al-Imaam Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbalee, may Allaah have mercy upon him:

الدُّنيا كلُّها شهرُ صيام المتَّقين، وعيدُ فِطرِهِم يومَ لِقاء ربِّهِم، ومعظمُ نَهارِ الصِّيامِ قد ذهب، وعيدُ اللِّقاءِ قد اقترب

“The entire dunya is a month of fasting for the muttaqeen, and their 'Eidul-Fitr is the day of meeting their Lord. And most of the days of fasting have already passed, and the 'Eid of meeting is swiftly approaching.”
