Musnad Abi Ya'la 5770

Translation

✧ I asked Ibn Umar: The two rak'as before the dawn prayer, should I lengthen the recitation in them? He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ used to pray at night in pairs, and he would perform witr with one rak'a. I said: I am not asking you about that. He said: You are indeed bulky! Will you not let me recount the hadith to you? The Messenger of God ﷺ used to pray at night in pairs, and he would perform witr with one rak'a, then he would pray two rak'as before the dawn prayer as if the call to prayer were in his ears.
