A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the prayer at night. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Prayer during the night should consist of pairs of rak'ahs, but if one of you fears the morning is near he should pray one rak'ah which will make his prayer an odd number for him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1326)
سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ يُصَلِّي أَحَدُكُمْ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَصَلَّى رَكْعَةً تُوتِرُ لَهُ صَلَاتَهُ
Once a person asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ ﷺ about the night prayer. Allah's Apostle ﷺ replied, "The night prayer is offered as two Rakʿat followed by two Rakʿat and so on and if anyone is afraid of the approaching dawn (Fajr prayer) he should pray one Rakʿah and this will be a Witr for all the Rakʿat which he has prayed before."
أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً تُوتِرُ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى
Prayer during the night should consist of pairs of rak'ahs, but if one of you fears morning is near, he should pray one rak'ah which will make his prayer an odd number for him.
أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً تُوتِرُ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى
A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺabout prayers at night, and he said: "Two by two, then if one of you fears that dawn will come, let him pray witr with one."
أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِنْ خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ فَلْيُوتِرْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ
A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about prayer at night and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Prayer at night is two by two, then if one of you fears that dawn will break, pray one rak'ah to make the total number that he prayed odd."
أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً تُوتِرُ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى

“The Prophet ﷺ was asked about the night prayer. He said: ‘Pray two by two, and if you fear that dawn is coming, then perform Witr with one Rak’ah.’”
سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ يُصَلِّي مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَافَ الصُّبْحَ أَوْتَرَ بِرَكْعَةٍ
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi and Abdullah ibn Umar that a man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about night prayers. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Night prayers are two by two, and when you are afraid that dawn is approaching, pray one raka to make what you have prayed odd."
أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً تُوتِرُ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى
[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was on the pulpit about the night prayer. He replied, "It is to be performed in pairs." And if one of you fears that he will not wake up until morning, he should pray Witr (the odd-numbered prayer that is performed after Isha prayer)."
سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ صَلَّى وَاحِدَةً فَأَوْتَرَتْ لَهُ مَا صَلَّى
[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about the night prayer. The Prophet ﷺ replied, "The night prayer is performed in pairs. You offer Salaam after every two units (rak'ahs). And when you fear the beginning of dawn, offer one unit (rak'ah) that will serve as Witr (odd-numbered prayer) for you."
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى تُسَلِّمُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا خِفْتَ الصُّبْحَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَةً تُوتِرُ لَكَ مَا قَبْلَهَا
[Machine] A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how do you order us to pray at night?" He replied, "You should pray two units of prayer at a time, and when you fear the approach of dawn, pray one unit of prayer which will be your Witr (odd-numbered) prayer for what you have already prayed in the night."
رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ؟ قَالَ يُصَلِّي أَحَدُكُمْ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى وَاحِدَةً فَأَوْتَرَتْ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى مِنَ اللَّيْلِ
[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about the night prayer. The Prophet replied, "The night prayer is performed in sets of two. After every two units, you should make the Taslim (saying the Salaam). And when you fear the approaching dawn, pray one unit of prayer which will complete and perfect your night prayer."
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى تُسَلِّمُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا خِفْتَ الصُّبْحَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَةً تُوتِرُ لَكَ مَا قَبْلَهَا
[Machine] I heard the Prophet (PBUH) being asked, "How should one pray at night?" He said, "Pray two units of prayer at a time, and when you fear the approach of dawn, then pray one unit as a Witr prayer."

[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the night prayer. He replied, "It is done in pairs. And when one of you fears the dawn, he should perform one more unit of prayer to complete what he has offered." Abu Muhammad was asked, "Do you adhere to it?" He replied, "Yes."
سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ «مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَةً تُوتِرُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى» قِيلَ لِأَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ تَأْخُذُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "How should we pray at night?" He said, "Each of you should pray two rak'ahs and if morning approaches, then offer a single rak'ah (witr prayer)."

[Machine] He heard Ibn Umar say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the night prayer, and he replied, "One of you should pray two units, two units, until he fears the dawn, then he should perform a prostration that prolongs what he has prayed."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ «يُصَلِّي أَحَدُكُمْ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى حَتَّى إِذَا خَشِيَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَةً تُوتِرُ لَهُ مَا قَدْ صَلَّى»
