حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ أَبِي أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الصَّلاَةُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى أَنْ تَشَهَّدَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَنْ تَبَاءَسَ وَتَمَسْكَنَ وَتُقْنِعَ بِيَدَيْكَ وَتَقُولَ اللَّهُمَّ اللَّهُمَّ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ ‏"‏ . سُئِلَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى قَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ مَثْنَى وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَرْبَعًا .

English translation
Narrated Muttalib: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Prayer is to be offered in two rak'ahs; and you should recite the tashahhud at the end of two rak'ahs, and express your distress and humility and raise your hands and say praying: O Allah, O Allah. He who does not do so does not offer a perfect prayer. Abu Dawud was asked about offering prayer at night in two rak'ahs. He said: They may be two if you like and four if you like
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আল-মুত্তালিব (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ সালাত দু’ রাক‘আত দু’ রাক‘আত করে আদায় করতে হয়। প্রত্যেক দু’ রাক‘আতে তোমার তাশাহহুদ পড়তে হবে। অতঃপর তুমি তোমার বিপদাপদ ও দারিদ্রের কথা দু’ হাত উঠিয়ে দু‘আ করবে, হে আল্লাহ! হে আল্লাহ! যে ব্যক্তি এরূপ করে না তার আচরণ হবে ক্রটিপূর্ণ। ইমাম আবূ দাউদ (রহঃ)-কে রাতে দু’ রাক‘আত করে সালাত সম্বন্ধে জিজ্ঞেস করা হলে তিনি বলেন, তুমি ইচ্ছা করলে দু’ রাক‘আত আদায় করতে পারো, আবার ইচ্ছে হলে চার রাক‘আত করেও আদায় করতে পারো। দুর্বল।
