[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about the Witr prayer while I was between them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "The night prayer is done in pairs. If it is the last part of the night, then make Witr with one Rak'ah, then pray two Rak'ahs before Fajr prayer, which means before the Fajr prayer." Asim al-Ahwal said, and Lahiq ibn Humaid said a similar narration, except that he said, "Begin the morning with one Rak'ah."
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْوِتْرِ وَأَنَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَأَوْتِرْ بِرَكْعَةٍ ثُمَّ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ يُرِيدُ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ قَالَ عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ وَقَالَ لَاحِقُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَادِرِ الصُّبْحَ بِرَكْعَةٍ
