Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pray eleven rak'ahs with Witr or without Witr?
The Sunnah for night prayer is eleven rak'ahs including Witr. This is not a strict limit, as praying more is permissible. Aisha's narration that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pray thirteen rak'ahs means eleven rak'ahs, with the addition of the two rak'ahs of Fajr.
