It occurs in a Tradition:
(1) The Tahajjud prayer is the best prayer after the Farz Prayers
which is offered in the last part of the night.
(2) It is better to offer all the prayers in one's have with
the exception of the Farz prayer. It is, therefore, better to offer the
Tahajjud prayer in one's house.
(3) The night prayers
are offered in two-two Rak`ats. The Tahajjud prayer should also be offered in
two-two Rak`ats. Some narratives mention "day" also (but the correct
position is that it is among the night optional prayers).
(4) The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) used to perform ablution and
apply the Miswak while standing. He would then offer eleven Rak`ats. On hearing
Hazrat Bilal's (R.A) Azan He (P.B.U.H) would offer offer the two Rak`ats of
Sunnah and go out of his room to the mosque to conduct the Fajr congregation.
(This was his common practice).
(5) Sometimes at
nights He (P.B.U.H) would offer thirteen Rak`ats, out of which he would offer
eight Rak`ats by two -two as his usual practice. He would offer five Raleats of
Witr including two Nafl and three witr prayers. To bid the concluding Salam He would
sit only in the last Rak`at.
(6) Sometimes He (P.B.U.H) offered at nights eleven Rak`ats,
such that by combining one Raleat with the last two Rak`ats, he would convert
them into Witr.
