1356. Muḥammad bin Qais Al-Asādi reported from Al-Ḥakam bin 'Utaibah, from Sa'eed bin Jubair, from Ibn 'Abbās, who said: "I spent the night with my maternal aunt Maimūnah. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ returned in the evening and asked: 'Has the boy prayed (Ishā)?' They said: 'Yes.' So he lied down until whatever Allāh willed of the night passed, then he stood up and performed Wudū' and prayed seven, or five Rak'ahs of Witr — he did not say the Taslīm except in the last of them.”
1356 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: بِتُّ عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَمَا أَمْسَى، فَقَالَ: «أَصَلَّى الْغُلَامُ؟» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، فَاضْطَجَعَ حَتَّى إِذَا مَضَى مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، «قَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى سَبْعًا - أَوْ خَمْسًا - أَوْتَرَ بِهِنَّ، لَمْ يُسَلِّمْ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِنّ»
