Sahih al-Bukhari 6310 (Book 80, Hadith 7) #6061
Late Night Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet used to pray 11 rak'at in the late part of the night and two rak'at when dawn appeared.

Narrated Aisha: The Prophet used to pray eleven rak'at in the late part of the night, and when dawn appeared, he would offer two rak'at and then lie on his right side till the Muadhdhin came to inform him (that the morning prayer was due).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، فَإِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ، حَتَّى يَجِيءَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَيُؤْذِنَهُ‏.‏
