أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَلاَّمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَنَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ
صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا خِفْتُمُ الصُّبْحَ فَأَوْتِرُوا بِوَاحِدَةٍ
