Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that A'isha, umm al-muminin said, "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray thirteen rakas in
the night and then would pray two rakas when he heard the adhan for
the subh prayer."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf that he asked A'isha, the
wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, what the
prayer of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was like during Ramadan. She said, "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not go above eleven rakas in
Ramadan or at any other time. He prayed four - do not ask me about
their beauty or length. Then he prayed another four - do not ask me
about their beauty and length. Then he prayed three."
A'isha
continued, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, are you sleeping before you
do the witr?' He said, A'isha, my eyes sleep but my heart does not
sleep.' " Muwatta Malik Book 7, Hadith 9

Yahya related to me from Malik from Makhrama ibn Sulayman from
Kurayb, the mawla of Ibn Abbas, that Abdullah ibn Abbas told him that
he had spent a night at the house of Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who was also Ibn Abbas'
mother's sister. Ibn Abbas said, "I lay down with my head on the
breadth of the cushion, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and his wife lay down with their heads on its
length. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, slept, until, halfway through the night or a little before or
after it, he awoke and sat up and wiped the sleep away from his face
with his hand. Then he recited the last ten ayats of sura Ali Imran
(Sura3). Then he got up and went over to a water-skin which was
hanging up and did wudu from it, doing his wudu thoroughly, and then
he stood in prayer."
Ibn Abbas continued, "I stood up and did
the same and then went and stood by his side. The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, put his right hand on my head
and took my right ear and tweaked it. He prayed two rakas, then two
rakas, then two rakas, then two rakas, then two rakas, then two rakas,
and then prayed an odd raka. Then he lay down until the muadhdhin came
to him, and then prayed two quick rakas, and went out and prayed subh
." Muwatta Malik Book 7, Hadith 11
