Bayhaqi 4682 — The number of rak'ahs of the night prayer

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَا: ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ثنا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: " بِتُّ عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَصَلَّى ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، مِنْهَا رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ، حَزَرْتُ قِيَامَهُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِقَدْرِ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ ". لَمْ يَقُلْ نُوحٌ: مِنْهَا رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: I spent the night with my maternal aunt, Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to pray, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed thirteen rak'ahs, among which were the two rak'ahs of Fajr. I estimated his (peace and blessings be upon him) standing in each rak'ah to be as long as "O you wrapped in garments" [Surah al-Muzzammil: 1]. (The narrator) Nuh did not mention the words: "Among them were the two rak'ahs of Fajr."
