Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَالْوَتْرُ رَكْعَةٌ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ.
English Translation
'Affan told us: Hammam told us: Qatadah told us, from 'Abdullah ibn Shaqiq al-'Uqayli, from Ibn 'Umar, that a man from the desert Arabs asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about the night prayer. He said, gesturing with his fingers, "Two by two, and the witr is one rak'ah at the end of the night."
