Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بِمَكَّةَ وَالسَّمَاءُ مُغَيِّمَةٌ فَخَشِيَ الصُّبْحَ فَأَوْتَرَ بِوَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ انْكَشَفَ فَرَأَى أَنَّ عَلَيْهِ لَيْلًا فَشَفَعَ بِوَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا خَشِيَ الصُّبْح أوتر بِوَاحِدَة. رَوَاهُ مَالك

Nafi said: I was with Ibn Umar in Mecca on a cloudy night. Fearing dawn, he prayed one unit of witr. Then the clouds cleared and he saw that it was still night, so he added one unit to make it even. He then prayed in pairs. When he again feared dawn, he prayed one unit of witr. Malik transmitted it.
