Hudhayfah reported: I prayed one night with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he recited in a relaxed manner. If he passed by a verse glorifying Allah, he would glorify Him. If he passed by a verse of petition, he would ask Him. If he passed by a verse of refuge, he would seek refuge in Him.

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَرَأَهَا يَقْرَأُ مُتَرَسِّلًا إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَسْبِيحٌ سَبَّحَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِسُؤَالٍ سَأَلَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِتَعَوُّذٍ تَعَوَّذَ
