What is “Salaatul Laiel” (صلوٰۃ اللیل)?
Answer:
The "Nafl" (supererogatory) prayer which is offered after Ishaa prayer is called Salaatul Laiel. Nawaafil نوافل(pl. of Nafl) offered in the night are better than those offered during day time.
Tahajjud is a kind of Salaatul Laiel.
A Hadees in this respect says that the two RakaatsNafl prayer which is offered after Witr (وِتر) prayer would substitute for Tahajjud if one could not wake up in the night.
