He would perform nafl salaah between maghrib and ‘esha. After performing ‘esha, he would perform a few rakaats of nafl salaah. Thereafter, he would perform his witr. He would then sleep for a short while, after which he would stand and engage in performing tahajjud salaah. When performing tahajjud, he would recite the Qur’aan Majeed in a soft tone due to which I often could not hear his full recitation.

He would fast continuously for some time, and would thereafter leave fasting for some time (as was the mubaarak sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)). However, he would not leave out the sunnah fasts of Mondays and Thursdays, and the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth of every month.
