Mishkat al-Masabih #1191
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْوَتْرُ رَكْعَةٌ مِنْ آخر اللَّيْل» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
He reported God’s Messenger as saying, “The witr* is a rak'a at the end of the night.”
* Literally ‘single’, or ‘odd’, used of an odd number of rak'as prayed at some time during the night.
Muslim transmitted it.
