Chapter 5 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat): Voluntary Prayersحَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، وَيُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ، قَالَ: وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ وَيَسْجُدُ سَجْدَةً قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْفَجْرُ، وَسَاقَ مَعْنَاهُ قَالَ: وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ.

He would observe witr with a single rak'ah and make a prostration as long as you would take to recite fifty verses before raising his head. When the muadhdhin finished his call for the dawn prayer and the dawn became clear to him. . . . Then the narrator transmitted the rest of the tradition to the same effect. Some narrators added something more in their version.
