English translation

1296. It was reported from ‘Abdullāh bin Al-Ĥārīth from Al-Muṭṭalib, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: “The prayer is (in units of) two, two — that you say the Tashahhud in every second Rak'ah. And that you show your need, and are tranquil, and raising you hands in supplication, and say: 'O Allāh! O Allāh!' So whoever does not do so, it will be deficient." (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd was asked about the (voluntary) night prayer — should it be in units of two? He replied: "If you wish, you may pray (in units of) two, and if you wish, (in units of) four."

1296 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ أَبِي أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " الصَّلَاةُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، أَنْ تَشَهَّدَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَأَنْ تَبَاءَسَ، وَتَمَسْكَنَ، وَتُقْنِعَ بِيَدَيْكَ، وَتَقُولَ: اللَّهُمَّ اللَّهُمَّ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ، فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ "، سُئِلَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى، قَالَ: «إِنْ شِئْتَ مَثْنَى، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَرْبَعًا»
