عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ
مَا تَرَى فِي صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى ؛ فَإِذَا خَشِيَ الصُّبْحَ : صَلَّى وَاحِدَةً فَأَوْتَرَتْ لَهُ مَا صَلَّى
رواه البخاري (472)، ومسلم (749)
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar, who said: A man asked the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) when he was on the minbar:
What do you say about the night prayers [qiyaam]? He said: Two [rak‘ahs] by two, then when you fear that dawn is about to break, pray one [rak‘ah] and that will make what you have prayed odd-numbered.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (472) and Muslim (749)
