THE SUNNAHS OF PRAYING AT NIGHT

As salamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarkatuhu

Some of the sunnahs regarding the night prayer:

1)The Prophet(p.b.u.h) said : ( The best time for fasting after ramadan is the month of moharram,and the best prayer after performing obligatory ones is the night prayer)
(narrated by muslim)

2)The best number (of raka's) for praying at night is eleven raka's (bows) or thirteen ones along the night because it is narrated that: (the prophet - S.A.W was praying eleven raka's-bows-last night) and that was his usual prayer
(narrated by al-bukhari)
In another narration it is mentioned : (he was praying thirteen raka's..) , narrated by al-bukhari

3) It is sunnah also to start the prayer at night with two raka's in order to become active and get ready to the following prayers,the prophet -p.b.u.h - said: ( If you start praying at night,then start prayer with two light raka's )
(narrated by muslim)

4) It is sunnah also to start the prayer at night by saying the following prophetic supplication ( O Allah, Lord of Jibrail ,Mikail and Israfil, maker of the heavens and the earth , Knower of the unseen and the seen,you judge between your slaves regarding that in which they differ , guide me to the truth regarding that in which there is difference , by your leave , surely,you guide whomever you please to the straight path)
