whose eye Messenger of Allah ﷺ had touched, that he had seen Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas offering one rakʿa only for the witr prayer.
أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ صُعَيْرٍ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَسَحَ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ
Narrated ʿAbdullah bin Thaʿlaba bin Suʿair whose face was rubbed by the Prophet during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah).
أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ صُعَيْرٍ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ
[Machine] Abdullah ibn Tha'labah informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiped his face and said that he saw Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas offering only one additional unit of prayer, without increasing it, until he stood up from the middle of the night.
أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَاحَتَّى يَقُومَ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ
