حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ کَثِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ هَکَذَا مَثْنَی مَثْنَی وَالْوِتْرُ رَکْعَةٌ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1421
Ibn Umar said: A man who lived in the desert asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the prayer at night. He made a sing with his two fingers-in this way in pairs. The witr consists of one rak'ah towards the end in night.
