“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘Night prayers are to be offered two by two, and Witr
is
one Rak’ah.’ I said: ‘What do you think if I become drowsy
and I want
to sleep?’ He said: ‘Put “what do you think” up
there with that star?
(i.e., don’t think about it at all).’ I
raised my head and saw As-
Simak.* He repeated that the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said, ‘Night
prayers are to be offered two by two, and
Witr is one Rak’ah, before
dawn.’”
