Hadith on Nawafil: Praying Witr prayer, Sunan of dawn prayer

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would pray at night, two by two, and make it odd with one cycle. The Prophet would pray two cycles before the morning prayer, so lightly as if the call to prayer were in his ears.
