حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ مَا أَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَيُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ مَا أَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ فَقَالَ بَهْ بَهْ إِنَّكَ لَضَخْمٌ إِنَّمَا أُحَدِّثُ أَوْ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَقْتَصُّ لَكَ الْحَدِيثَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ كَأَنَّ الْأَذَانَ أَوْ الْإِقَامَةَ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5490
It was narrated that Anas ibn Sireen said: I asked Ibn 'Umar what should I recite in the two rak'ahs before Fajr? Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to pray at night two (rak'ahs) by two, and pray Witr with one rakah at the end of the night. Anas said: I said: But I asked you what I should recite in the two rak'ahs before Fajr. He said: Stop, stop; you are dense! I am narrating - or he said: I arn telling you - the hadeeth. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to pray at night two (rak'ahs) by two, and pray Witr with one rak ah at the end of the night, then he would get up (to pray the two rak'ahs of Fajr, after having prayed the Sunnah) with the adhaan and iqaamah stiJl ringing in his ears.
