Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ سُئِلَ قَتَادَةُ عَنْ الشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ فَقَالَ ثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ عِصَامٍ الضُّبَعِيُّ عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ هِيَ الصَّلَاةُ مِنْهَا شَفْعٌ وَمِنْهَا وَتْرٌ.
English Translation
Bahz told us, Hammam told us, who said: Qatadah was asked about the even and the odd, and he said: Imran ibn Isam ad-Duba'i told us, from an elder among the people of Basra, from Imran ibn Husayn, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is the prayer; some of it is even and some of it is odd."
