Question

We have a custom to sing a melody for 'Vayehi Noam' and 'Barechu' on Motzei Shabbat. We would like to know if there is a source for this?

Answer

Indeed, this custom is mentioned in Halacha, and its purpose is to slightly extend the time until Shabbat ends. Even though it is a matter of a minute at most, there is significance in showing how difficult it is for us to part with Shabbat.

Source

Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim, Siman 293, Paragraph 1).
