English Translation

Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father who said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ being asked: How should the night prayer be performed? He said: 'One of you should pray two rak'ahs at a time. When he fears the approach of dawn, let him pray one rak'ah as witr.'
