The reciter: And Abu Kuraib and Harun ibn 'Abd Allah narrated to us, saying: Abu Asamah narrated to us from al-Walid ibn Kathir, who said: 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar narrated to me that Ibn 'Umar narrated to them:
That a man called out to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in the mosque, saying: "O Messenger of Allah, how do I perform the witr of the night prayer?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever prays, let him pray in pairs. If he feels that the morning is approaching, let him prostrate once, and that will make his prayer odd."
أن رجلا نادى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم وهو في المسجد فقال: يا رسول الله كيف أوتر صلاة الليل؟ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم: من صلى فليصل مثنى مثنى فإن أحس أن يصبح سجد سجدة فأوترت له ما صلى
Abu Kuraib said: 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah, and he did not say Ibn 'Umar.
