English Translation

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Jarir, from Mansur, from Habib, from Tawus — that a man said to Ibn 'Umar: 'Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) claims that the witr is not obligatory [hatm].' He said: 'A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the night prayer. He said: "The night prayer is two rak'as at a time [mathna mathna]. When you fear the morning, make it odd with one rak'a."'
