أحمد:٢٧١٤حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَعْنِي النَّهْشَلِيَّ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْجَزَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَيُوتِرُ بِثَلاثٍ وَيُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ صَارَ إِلَى تِسْعٍ وَسِتٍّ وَثَلاثٍ
