Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the tarawih prayer with the Companions for a number of days. What is the number of rak'ahs he prayed? And was a specific number reported?
Answer:
It appears, and Allah knows best, that he prayed as was his custom, thirteen or eleven rak'ahs. He did not exceed that number in his own prayer, but he would lengthen the prayer, lengthening it to a degree that most people could not bear. Yes.
