"عن أبى ظبيان أن عمر بن الخطاب مر في المسجد فركع فيه ركعةً ثم انطلق، فقيل: إنما ركعت ركعة واحدة؟ فقال: إنها تطوع فمن شاء زاد، ومن شاء نقص، وكرهت أن أتخذه طريقا".

On the authority of Abu Dhabyan that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab passed by the mosque and prayed one rak'ah in it, then went on. It was said: "You only prayed one rak'ah?" He said: "It is a voluntary prayer; whoever wishes may add to it, and whoever wishes may reduce it. I disliked to make it a path."
