| About the Witr Prayer (50) |
Ibn 'Umar said that a man asked the Messenger of Allah  about the night prayer: So the Messenger of Allah said: The night prayer is dual dual, then if one of you is worried about morning he would pray a single rak'ah, which would
make that which he had prayed odd [in number]. Năfi` told that `Abdullah bin `Umar used to say tasleem between the single
rak`ah, and the two rak`ahs in the Witr such that he could tend to some of his needs. |

'Ibn 'Abbas  , said: Once I spent the night at the place of Maymounah (his aunt). I layed down along the width of a pillow, and the Messenger
of Allah layed down with his wife along its length, and slept till midnight or nearly so, then he woke up rubbing the sleep off of
his face, then he recited ten verses from [Surat] 'Ale 'Imran. Then the Messenger of Allah got up towards a leather skin that was hanging, and performed ablution, and performed it well. Then he got up to pray, so
I did as he did, then stood to his side, whereupon, he put his right hand on my head, and twisted my ear and then prayed two
rak`ahs followed by two rak`ahs, followed by two rak`ahs, followed by two rak`ahs, followed by two rak`ahs, then he performed
Witr. He then layed down on his side until the the Mu'ath-thin came to him, whereupon, he prayed two rak`ahs, and went to
the morning prayer. |
