حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً، تُوتِرُ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى ‏"‏.

Narrated Ibn `Umar: Once a person asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the night prayer. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) replied, "The night prayer is offered as two Rak`at followed by two Rak`at and so on and if anyone is afraid of the approaching dawn (Fajr prayer) he should pray one Rak`ah and this will be a Witr for all the Rak`at which he has prayed before
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু ‘উমার (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। এক ব্যক্তি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর নিকট রাতের সালাত সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করল। আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ রাতের সালাত দু’ দু’ (রাক‘আত) করে। আর তোমাদের মধ্যে কেউ যদি ফজর হবার আশঙ্কা করে, সে যেন এক রাক‘আত সালাত আদায় করে নেয়। আর সে যে সালাত আদায় করল, তা তার জন্য বিতর হয়ে যাবে। (৪৭২) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৯৩২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
