If you verified that something you felt descending during prayer actually exited, then your prayer is invalid and your ablution is nullified. It was obligatory for you to exit the prayer when you felt that. You are not required to make up the night prayer, for supererogatory prayers are not obligatory to be made up. Indeed, most scholars hold that supererogatory acts of worship are not binding upon commencing them, and it is not obligatory to make them up if one exits them, unlike Hajj and . Some scholars, like Ahmad, are of the view that prayer is more serious and should not be interrupted; if it is interrupted, it must be made up.
