Hadith 23665

حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، قَالَ : قَرَأَهُ عَلَيَّ يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ " يُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى يَقُومَ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Thalabah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over his face, and he saw Hazrat Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) performing one rak’ah of Witr, to which he would not add anything, until he would wake up at midnight.
