حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَافَی عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ قَالَ أَوْتَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بَعْدَ الْعِشَائِ بِرَکْعَةٍ وَعِنْدَهُ مَوْلًی لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَتَی ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ دَعْهُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 3765
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika: Somebody said to Ibn `Abbas, "Can you speak to the chief of the believers Muwaiya, as he does not pray except one rak`a as witr?" Ibn `Abbas replied, "He is a Faqih (i.e. a learned man who can give religious verdicts) ."
