The ruling on praying the night prayer twice in one night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Without a doubt, it is more important than striking the enemy in terms of material. Yes.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. And likewise regarding the woman.
The Shaykh : Complete silence.
The questioner : Stopping from the people and so on.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. My Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Yesterday, Adil Hisham asked a question, saying that he read in Sahih Abu Dawud a report or hadith that one of the Companions used to pray with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), along with the Companions, praying with him (peace and blessings be upon him) Maghrib, then 'Isha', then tarawih, and he would perform witr. Then he would return to his family and pray tarawih with them again without performing witr. When he was asked about this, he said that there are not two witr in one night. So, the one who says, as Hisham’s brothers transmitted from the hadith, that it is authentic in Sahih Abu Dawud: here, he prayed eight rak'ahs of tarawih with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and concluded them with witr, then he prayed with his people eight or ten rak'ahs, which is the night prayer again, without witr. So this becomes a point of difficulty, that the night prayer is [prayed] twice.
The Shaykh : The author of Sahih Abu Dawud finds this strange. Allah.
The questioner : And not in any other book, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : You did not check it.
The questioner : No, by Allah, I mean this hadith was yesterday, glory be to Allah, now our brother Nasser is reminding me of it.
The Shaykh : I mean, you were not informed of it until... So...
The questioner : Until yesterday.
The Shaykh : Yes, yesterday, were you in the office today?
The questioner : I was in the office, but glory be to Allah, I did not remember until now when Nasser reminded me. Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : So I think there is something in it. Because you know that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray [tarawih] except for three nights. O Merciful.
The questioner : May Allah have mercy on you.
The Shaykh : That this man used to pray behind the Messenger and then go pray the night prayer with his wife after he had prayed behind the Messenger and performed witr,
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But there he did not perform witr because he said to him, [there is] completion in one night.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : Yes, it is necessary to reach this starting point.
The Shaykh : The review and then the treatment.
The questioner : Yes, if Allah wills, it will not happen.
The Shaykh : So, is eating added to it?
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. And likewise regarding the woman.
The Shaykh : Complete silence.
The questioner : Stopping from the people and so on.
