حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ مَا تَرَى فِي صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، فَإِذَا خَشِيَ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى وَاحِدَةً، فَأَوْتَرَتْ لَهُ مَا صَلَّى ‏"‏. وَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ اجْعَلُوا آخِرَ صَلاَتِكُمْ وِتْرًا، فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِهِ.

English translation
Narrated Nafi`:Ibn `Umar said, "While the Prophet (ﷺ) was on the pulpit, a man asked him how to offer the night prayers. He replied, 'Pray two rak`at at a time and then two and then two and so on, and if you are afraid of the dawn (the approach of the time of the Fajr prayer) pray one rak`a and that will be the witr for all the rak`at which you have offered." Ibn `Umar said, "The last rak`at of the night prayer should be odd, for the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered it to be so

ইবনু ‘উমার (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, এক ব্যক্তি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -কে প্রশ্ন করলেন, তখন তিনি মিম্বারে ছিলেন- আপনি রাতের সালাত কীভাবে আদায় করতে বলেন? তিনি বলেনঃ দু’রাক‘আত দু’রাক‘আত করে আদায় করবে। যখন তোমাদের কারো ভোর হয়ে যাওয়ার আশঙ্কা হয় তখন সে আরো এক রাক‘আত আদায় করে নিবে। আর এটি তার পূর্ববর্তী সালাতকে বিত্র করে দেবে। [নাফি‘ (রহ.) বলেন] ইবনু ‘উমার (রাযি.) বলতেনঃ তোমরা বিতরকে রাতের শেষ সালাত হিসেবে আদায় কর। কেননা নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এ নির্দেশ দিয়েছেন। (৪৭৩, ৯৯০, ৯৯৩, ৯৯৫, ১১৩৭; মুসলিম ৬/২০, হাঃ ৭৪৯, ৭৫৩, আহমাদ ৬০১৫) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪৫২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
