To pray a 4 rakah sunnah prayer

Question: I need all proofs that proove that Nabi SAW did pray a 4 rakat sunnah. Some say that the Prophet never prayed a single set of 4 rakat sunnah.
 
Answer: It was narrated by Muslim through Aa'ishah that the Messenger of Allah -may Allah raise his rank- at night "prayed four - do not ask me about their beauty or length. Then he prayed another four - do not ask me about their beauty and length. Then he prayed three."
 
It was narrated by Muslim through Aa'ishah that the Messenger of Allah -may Allah raise his rank-  "prayed nine and would not sit except in the eighth."
