باب مَا جَاءَ فِي صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ
Sunan Ibn Majah 1320

It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked
about
the night prayer. He said: ‘Pray two by two, and if you fear
that
dawn is coming, then perform Witr with one Rak’ah.’”

حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَعَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ يُصَلِّي مَثْنَى مَثْنَى. فَإِذَا خَافَ الصُّبْحَ أَوْتَرَ بِرَكْعَةٍ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
