عربی (اصل)
حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خِفْتَ الْفَجْرَ فَأَوْتِرْ بِرَكْعَةٍ تُوتِرُ لَكَ صَلَاتَكَ قَالَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ.

Zayd ibn Yahya al-Dimashqi told us: Abdullah ibn al-Ala' told us: I heard Salim ibn Abdullah say: I heard Abdullah ibn Umar say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'The night prayer is two by two; and when you fear the approach of dawn, then pray witr with one rak'ah, which will make your prayer odd-numbered (witr) for you.' He said: And Abdullah used to pray witr with one rak'ah.
