اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ عِصَامٍ ، أَنَّ شَيْخًا حَدَّثَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ الشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ ، فَقَالَ : " هِيَ الصَّلَاةُ : بَعْضُهَا شَفْعٌ ، وَبَعْضُهَا وَتْرٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the meaning of the words "By the even and the odd" in Surah Al-Fajr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It refers to prayer, as some prayers are even and some are odd.
