حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَی مَثْنَی فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ أَنَّ الصُّبْحَ يُدْرِکُکَ فَأَوْتِرْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ فَقِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ مَا مَثْنَی مَثْنَی قَالَ أَنْ تُسَلِّمَ فِي کُلِّ رَکْعَتَيْنِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1763
Anas b. Sirin reported: I asked Ibn 'Umar like this (as recorded in the previous hadith) and he made this addition: And he (the Holy Prophet) made the end of the night prayer as odd number by one rak'ah. And there is also (this addition): Stop, stop, you are bulky.
