حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ أَنْبَأَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ نَادَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ وَأَنَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْبَدَوِيِّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيتَ الصُّبْحَ فَوَاحِدَةً وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْغَدَاةِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5470
It was narrated that ibn Uma r said: A man from the desert called out to the Messenger of Allah when i was sitting between him and the Bedouin. He said: O Messenger of Allah, how are the night prayers (to be offered)? He said; Two by two, then when you fear that dawn is approaching, pray one (rak'ah), and two rak'ahs before Fajr (prayer).”
