حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَنْصَرِفَ فَارْكَعْ رَكْعَةً تُوتِرُ لَكَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ ‏"‏. قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ وَرَأَيْنَا أُنَاسًا مُنْذُ أَدْرَكْنَا يُوتِرُونَ بِثَلاَثٍ، وَإِنَّ كُلاًّ لَوَاسِعٌ أَرْجُو أَنْ لاَ يَكُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِنْهُ بَأْسٌ.

Narrator: `Abdullah bin `Umar

English translation
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Night prayer is offered as two rak`at followed by two rak`at and so on, and if you want to finish it, pray only one rak`a which will be witr for all the previous rak`at." Al-Qasim said, "Since we attained the age of puberty we have seen some people offering a three-rak`at prayer as witr and all that is permissible. I hope there will be no harm in it
বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু ‘উমার (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ রাতের সালাত দু’ দু’ রাক‘আত করে। অতঃপর যখন তুমি সালাত শেষ করতে চাইবে, তখন এক রাক‘আত আদায় করে নিবে। তা তোমার পূর্ববর্তী সালাতকে বিতর করে দিবে। ক্বাসিম (রহ.) বলেন, আমরা সাবালক হয়ে লোকদের তিন রাক‘আত বিতর আদায় করতে দেখেছি। উভয় নিয়মেরই অবকাশ রয়েছে। আমি আশা করি এর কোনটিই দূষণীয় নয়। (৪৭২) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৯৩৪, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
