وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَأَدْبَـٰرَ ٱلسُّجُودِ
Wamina allayli fasabbi h hu waadb a ra a l ssujood i
and in the night, too, extol His glory, and at every prayer's end.32
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit.. "at the ends (adbar) of prostration".

And glorify Him during a part of the night and after the prostration (prayers).
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And glorify Him during part of the night1 and after the prayers.
  - Mustafa Khattab

 This verse refers to the times of the five daily prayers.

And in the night time hymn His praise: And after the (prescribed) prostrations.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And during part of the night (also) celebrate His praises and (so likewise) after the postures of adoration. 4979
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The general meaning of "after the prostration" would be the contemplation and remembrance of Allah after prayers. Those who would connect this passage with the five canonical prayers understand these further prayers "following the sujud or prostration to mean the extra or supernumerary prayers known as nafl.
