Is the prayer from twelve o'clock to one o'clock at night considered part of the last of the night prayer?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. In his other question, he asks: Is the prayer from twelve o'clock to one o'clock at night considered part of the last of the night prayer? And does it have a reward like the reward of praying an hour or less before the dawn? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
The night prayer does not have a specific limit of rak'ahs. Rather, the Muslim should pray whatever is easy for him and conclude it with the witr. It is permissible to perform the night prayer at any time of the night, whether at the beginning, the middle, or the end. However, it is better to delay it until the last third of the night, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Is there anyone seeking forgiveness so that I may forgive him? If the Muslim attends this blessed time, supplicates to his Lord, seeks His forgiveness, repents to Him, and prays whatever is easy for him, he is likely to attain this noble promise from the Lord of the worlds, Glorified and Exalted is He. And the later the night prayer is delayed into the last third of the night, until before the dawn, the better it is.

The questioner:
The last part of the night is all the same, right, Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
It is all the same. The later it is, the better, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed his prayer until the time of the dawn. So the later it is into the last part of the night, the better it is. But the virtue begins from the first part of the last third of the night, from the first part of the last third of the night.

The questioner:
How is the calculation done, from the sunset to the dawn, for example?

The Shaykh:
The calculation is from the sunset to the dawn, divided into three parts. The period between the setting of the sun and the rising of the dawn is divided into three parts, and the last of them is the last third. Yes.
