باب في صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ:
Chapter: Night prayer
Hadith 1498
أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ: "مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ الصُّبْحَ، فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً تُوتِرُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى".
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: A man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the night prayer (Tahajjud), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “(It) is in sets of two rak‘ahs. When one of you fears that morning is approaching, let him pray one rak‘ah as Witr, and it will make all his prayer odd-numbered.”
