 When the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬ got up at night to offer the Tahajjud prayer, he used to
say:

 Narrated Al-Mughira:

The Prophet ( (‫ﷺ‬used to stand (in the prayer) or pray till both
his feet or legs swelled. He was asked why (he offered such
an unbearable prayer) and he said, "should I not be a
thankful slave.". ." ‫ﺷُﻜﻮًرا‬ َ ‫ﻓَﯿَﻘُﻮُل " أ َﻓَﻼَ أ َُﻛﻮُن‬
َ ‫ﻋْﺒًﺪا‬

: Sahih al-Bukhari 1130

Narrated by 'Aisha

Allah's Apostle used to offer eleven Rakat and that was his
prayer. He used to prolong the prostration to such an
extent that one could recite fifty verses (of the Quran)
before he would lift his head. He used to pray two Rakat
(Sunna) before the Fajr prayer and then used to lie down on
his right side till the call-maker came and informed him
about the prayer.
