عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمُ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً وَاحِدَة توتر لَهُ مَا قد صلى»
Ibn Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Prayer during the night should consist of pairs of rakas, but if one of you fears the morning is near he should pray one raka which will make his prayer an odd number for him.”
