أبواب صلاة الليل والوترChapters on Night Prayer and Witr
بَابُ مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ غَيْرِهِمَا فِي صِفَةِ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْChapter on What is Narrated from Others Regarding the Description of the Prophet’s Prayer
Hadith 2164
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً سِوَى الْمَكْتُوبَةِ
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform sixteen rak‘ahs at night in addition to the obligatory prayer.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The mention of "night" in this hadith is a mistake of a narrator. The voluntary (nafl) prayers that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to perform during the day amounted to sixteen rak‘ahs. The details of this have already been mentioned under another hadith in the section titled: "A comprehensive account of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam’s voluntary prayers during the day and the Sunnah prayers associated with the obligatory (fard) prayers."
