حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْكَوْسَجُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُوتِرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِخَمْسٍ لَا يَجْلِسُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِنَّ ، فَإِذَا أَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ " قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رَأَى بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمُ الْوِتْرَ بِخَمْسٍ ، وَقَالُوا : لَا يَجْلِسُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِنَّ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا مُصْعَبٍ الْمَدِينِيَّ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يُوتِرُ بِالتِّسْعِ وَالسَّبْعِ " قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ يُوتِرُ بِالتِّسْعِ وَالسَّبْعِ ، قَالَ : " يُصَلِّي مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَيُسَلِّمُ وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ " .
´Aishah narrated:` "The night prayer of Allah's Messenger was thirteen Rak'ah, five of which were his Witr, not sitting in any of them except at the end of them. When the Mu'adh-dhin called the Adhan he would stand to perform two light (Rak'ah)."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ This narration is weak, and according to some, the wording of «ولا نهار» is not established. (That is, after waking up from sleep, this practice was only done at night.)
➋ There are many benefits of using the miswak, and the greatest benefit is that the miswak is a means of attaining the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala, and it also purifies the mouth, as is narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa radi Allahu anha, that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: «السواك مطهرة للفم مرضاة للرب» [سنن نسائي، حديث : 5] “The miswak purifies the mouth and is a means of the Lord’s pleasure.”
➌ It is as clear as daylight that Allah Ta’ala’s pleasure is attained only by doing those deeds which He loves; therefore, when using the miswak, one should have the intention and resolve that by this, our Allah will be pleased with us. Physicians and doctors have also mentioned many of its benefits.
➍ By using the miswak, impurities of the mouth and throat are abundantly removed and eliminated. The use of the miswak should not be limited only to the teeth, but should be extended to the tongue and up to the area near the throat, especially upon waking up in the morning, it should be done in this manner, because this was the practice of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Whenever he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would wake up from sleep, he would use the miswak, and he would do so thoroughly, to the extent that sounds like ‘Aa Aa’, ‘Uh Uh’, and ‘Ah Ah’ would come from his blessed mouth.
➎ We should keep in mind that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself was diligent and consistent in using the miswak, and he also emphasized it to the ummah to the same degree. And if there had not been a fear of hardship and burden upon the ummah, he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have made it obligatory at every ablution (wudu) and at every prayer.
➏ The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not like even the slightest odor from the mouth; that is why, upon waking up from sleep, he would immediately use the miswak.
