<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) They point out the desirability of taking a brief rest on one’s right side after the two-Rak‘ah Sunnah of Fajr. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is authentically reported to have said and done this.<br> 2) Qiyām al-Layl (voluntary night prayer) is to be offered as two Rak‘ahs by two Rak‘ahs, with Taslim made after every two Rak‘ahs.<br> 3) Qiyām al-Layl is part of the Prophet’s guidance, and it is an honor for the believer in worldly life and a light for him in the Hereafter.
