English translation

1421. Ibn ‘Umar narrated that a Bedouin asked the Prophet ﷺ about the night prayer. So the Prophet ﷺ motioned with his fingers, like this (and said): “Two, two, and Witr is one Rak'ah at the end of the night.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

1421 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ هَكَذَا: «مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، وَالْوِتْرُ رَكْعَةٌ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ»
