حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي عُقْبَةُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِنْ خَشِيتَ الصُّبْحَ فَأَوْتِرْ بِرَكْعَةٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا مَثْنَى مَثْنَى قَالَ رَكْعَتَانِ رَكْعَتَانِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5032
'Uqbah narrated: I heard Ibn 'Umar say: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "The night prayers are two by two, then when you fear that dawn is approaching, pray Witr with one rak'ah." I said: What is two by two? He said: Two rak'ahs by two rak'ahs.
