Yes, we can pray for our Sunni friends to be granted the light of following Ahlul Bayt (AS) who are the real source of the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
Many different explanations have been given regarding to the two terms shaf' and watr, as they have been used in the holy Quran (surah al-fajr, verse 3).
Al-Shaf' is usually translated as the 'even number', and al-watr is translated as odd number.
One meaning given is that all creation is made of pairs, and Almighty God being Singular.
Another meaning is the Shaf' prayer being a even number of units (i.e. two rak'ahs), and the Watr prayer being an odd number of units (i.e. one rak'ah).
May the Almighty grant us the tawfeeq of upholding such a spiritual and important practice of praying Salat al-Layl.
Wassalam
