Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is there a report that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed eight rak'ahs in a row, and how did he do it? At night?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1319Sahih (Darussalam), and in another narration: Sunan Abi Dawud 1295Sahih (Al-Albani). He did not pray in succession except the witr. If he prayed witr with three, or with five, or with nine, or with eleven, or with thirteen, he may pray them in succession because it is witr. And it is better for him to say the taslim after every two rak'ahs. Yes.
