English translation

[1763] 159 - (...) Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “The night prayers are two by two. If you think that dawn is going to catch up with you, then pray Witr with one Rak’ah.” It was said to Ibn ‘Umar: “What is two by two?” He said: “You should say the Taslîm after every two Rak’ah.”

Arabic text

159 - (749) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ أَنَّ الصُّبْحَ يُدْرِكُكَ فَأَوْتِرْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ». فَقِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ: مَا مَثْنَى مَثْنَى؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تُسَلِّمَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»
