Translation
Ibn Umar reported that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was delivering a sermon and said, “How is the night prayer?” He said, “Two by two. When you fear (the coming of) dawn, pray witr with one (rak'ah); it makes what you have prayed witr for you.” … that a man called out to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in the mosque.
Translator’s note: The part after “…” comes from another transmission (al-Walid ibn Kathir via Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah from Ibn Umar).
