Narrated by عبد الله بن عمر العدوي
Ibn Umar said: A man who lived in the desert asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the prayer at night. He made a sing with his two fingers-in this way in pairs. The witr consists of one rak'ah towards the end in night.
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ ، فَقَالَ بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ هَكَذَا : "
مَثْنَى مَثْنَى ، وَالْوِتْرُ رَكْعَةٌ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ
" .
