English translation

1351. It was reported from 'Alqamah bin Waqqāṣ, from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to perform Witr with nine Rak'ahs, then later on he would perform Witr with seven Rak'ah. And he would pray two Rak'ahs after Witr while sitting down, reciting (the Qur'an) in them. When he wished to go into Rukū', he would stand up and go into Rukū', then prostrate. (Ṣaḥīḥ)Abū Dāwūd said: Khālid bin ‘Abdullāh Al-Wāsiṭī reported both of these narrations from Muḥammad bin ‘Amr similarly. He said in it: “Alqamah bin Waqqāṣ said: ‘O mother, how did he (ﷺ) used to pray the two Rak’ahs?’” and he mentioned its meaning.

1351 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ، ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ بِسَبْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ، وَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ، فَرَكَعَ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَى الْحَدِيثَيْنِ خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، مِثْلَهُ قَالَ فِيهِ: قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ وَقَّاصٍ: يَا أُمَّتَاهُ كَيْفَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.
