Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.

ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمُتَهَجِّدِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ آخِرَ صَلَاتِهِ رَكْعَةً تَكُونُ وِتْرَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَخْشَ الصُّبْحَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Prayer at night is two by two, then when you want to finish, pray one rak'h which will make the total number that you prayed odd." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1692)  

ابن حبّان:٢٦٢٤أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَنْصَرِفَ فَارْكَعْ وَاحِدَةً تُوتِرُ لَكَ مَا قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ»
