Hadith #338
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ إِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الْوَ
تْرَ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خِفْتَ الصُّبْحَ فَأَوْتِرْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ

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."'
