LENGTH OF THE VOLUNTARY PRE-DAWN PRAYER

1127

“The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, offered his voluntary two units of prayer at night then concluded with one unit of prayer thereby making the number odd (witr).

He would offer two units of prayer before the dawn prayer so quickly that the second call to prayer coincided with the length of his prayer.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to ibn Omar who related this.
