Ibn Umar reported: A person called (the attention) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he was in the mosque, and said: Messenger of Allah, how should I make the rakahs of the night prayer an odd number? Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (way peace he upon him) said: He who prays (night prayer) he should observe it in pairs, but if he apprehends the rise of morning, he should observe one rakah; that would make the number odd (for the rakahs) observed by him. This was narrated by Abd Kuraib Ubaidullah bin Abdullah and Ibn Umar did not make mention of it.
