Those who permit the night prayer to be more than eleven rak'ahs say that the hadith (The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not increase in Ramadan or in other times beyond eleven rak'ahs)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: All right, Shaykh, regarding the night prayer, may Allah bless you, the number of rak'ahs, meaning the statement of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not increase in Ramadan or other times beyond eleven rak'ahs." Some scholars, my Shaykh, say that this is an action, and an action indicates only recommendation and desirability, so they say it is permissible to increase.

The Shaykh: No, an action if it was done only once. But the thing that the Messenger (peace be upon him) persisted in throughout his life, on one hand, and on the other hand he said:
and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. خير الهدى هدى محمد - صلى الله عليه وسلم -
Sahih al-Bukhari 6098
So the statement you mentioned does not apply here. And peace be upon you.

The questioner: And upon you peace.

Another questioner: Shaykh, one question if you please.
The student: ... from Iraq, Shaykh ... .

The Shaykh: May Allah keep you safe. Welcome.
The student: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The student : May Allah preserve you, Shaykh.

The Shaykh: Welcome, and peace be upon you.
The student: Shaykh, people from Iraq send you many greetings.

The Shaykh: Peace be upon you and upon them.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh: And return the greetings to them all.
The student: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: And peace be upon you. Welcome.
The student: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: Welcome.

The questioner: Shaykh, regarding...
The student: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
