زید بن خالد جہنی رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے، انہوں نے کہا کہ   آج رات میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی نماز ( تہجد ) ضرور دیکھ کر رہوں گا، چنانچہ میں آپ کی چوکھٹ یا دروازے پر ٹیک لگا کر سوئے رہا، رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے پہلے ہلکی سی دو رکعتیں پڑھیں، پھر دو رکعتیں لمبی، بہت لمبی بلکہ بہت زیادہ لمبی پڑھیں، پھر دو رکعتیں ان سے کچھ ہلکی، پھر دو رکعتیں ان سے بھی کچھ ہلکی، پھر دو رکعتیں ان سے بھی ہلکی، پھر دو رکعتیں ان سے بھی ہلکی پڑھیں، پھر وتر پڑھی، اس طرح یہ کل تیرہ رکعتیں ہوئیں۔

Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas: That he spent a night with Maimunah, wife of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, who was also his (Ibn Abbas's) maternal aunt. I lay towards the width of the pillow and the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and his wife slept towards its length. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم slept. When half the night passed, or a little before it or a little after it, the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم awoke and began to rub his face (eyes) to remove the sleep. He then recited ten verses from the last part of Surah 'Al-Imran. Hen then came to a bag of water that was hanging. He performed ablution from it and performed his ablution well. He then stood up and prayed. I also got up and did as he did. I then went and stood at his side. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم placed his right hand upon my head and took me by my ear twisting it. He then prayed two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs. The narrator al-Qanabi said: Six times.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to commend prayer at night during Ramadan, but did not command it as duty.
