حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ
صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَنْصَرِفَ فَارْكَعْ رَكْعَةً تُوتِرُ لَكَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Night prayer is offered as two rakʿat followed by two rakʿat and so on, and if you want to finish it, pray only one rakʿa which will be witr for all the previous rakʿat." Al-Qasim said, "Since we attained the age of puberty we have seen some people offering a three-rakʿat prayer as witr and all that is permissible. I hope there will be no harm in it."
