SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 16: WITR PRAYER
Allah's Apostle used to pray eleven Rakat at night and that was his night prayer and each of his
prostrations lasted for a period enough for one of you to recite fifty verses before Allah's Apostle
raised his head. He also used to pray two Rakat (Sunna) before the (compulsory) Fajr prayer and then
lie down on his right side till the Muadh-dhin came to him for the prayer.
