حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ أَرَأَيْتَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْغَدَاةِ أُطِيلُ فِيهِمَا الْقِرَاءَةَ فَقَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، وَيُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ وَيُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْغَدَاةِ وَكَأَنَّ الأَذَانَ بِأُذُنَيْهِ. قَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَىْ سُرْعَةً.

Narrated Anas bin Seereen: I asked Ibn `Umar, "What is your opinion about the two rak`at before the Fajr (compulsory) prayer, as to prolonging the recitation in them?" He said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray at night two rak`at followed by two and so on, and end the prayer by one rak`ah witr. He used to offer two rak`at before the Fajr prayer immediately after the Adhan." (Hammad, the sub-narrator said, "That meant (that he prayed) quickly

قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَوْصَانِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْوِتْرِ قَبْلَ النَّوْمِ. আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাযি.) বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে ঘুমানোর পূর্বে বিতর আদায়ের আদেশ দিয়েছেন। ৯৯৫. আনাস ইবনু সীরীন (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি ইবনু ‘উমার (রাযি.)-কে বললাম, ফজরের পূর্বের দু’ রাকআতে আমি কিরাআত দীর্ঘ করব কি-না, এ সম্পর্কে আপনার অভিমত কী? তিনি বললেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম রাতে দু’ দু’ রাক‘আত করে সালাত আদায় করতেন এবং এক রাক‘আত বিতর আদায় করতেন।* অতঃপর ফজরের সালাতের পূর্বে তিনি দু’ রাক‘আত এমনভাবে আদায় করতেন যেন ইক্বামাত(ইকামত/একামত)ের শব্দ তাঁর কানে আসছে। রাবী হাম্মাদ (রহ.) বলেন, অর্থাৎ তাড়াতাড়ি। (৪৭২) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৯৩৬, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
