حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ أَبِي أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الصَّلَاةُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى أَنْ تَشَهَّدَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنْ تَبَاءَسَ وَتَمَسْكَنَ وَتُقْنِعَ بِيَدَيْكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتَقُولَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ اللَّهُمَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ . سُئِلَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ شِئْتَ مَثْنَى وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَرْبَعًا.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Prayer is to be offered in two rak'ahs; and you should recite the tashahhud at the end of two rak'ahs, and express your distress and humility and raise your hands and say praying: O Allah, O Allah. He who does not do so does not offer a perfect prayer. Abu Dawud was asked about offering prayer at night in two rak'ahs. He said: They may be two if you like and four if you like.
