Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) pray Qiyam al-Layl on the night preceding Friday?

Performing two rak'ahs after the Maghrib Adhan and before the prayer is a Sunnah established by word, action, and tacit approval. The time for night vigil (Qiyam al-Layl) begins after the 'Isha prayer, and some say after the Maghrib prayer. It is confirmed that performing supererogatory prayers between Maghrib and 'Isha is encouraged on all nights, and there is a prohibition against singling out the night of Friday for vigil among all other nights.
