Hadith #253

وَعَنْهُ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْوَتْرُ ثَلاَثُ رَكَعَاتٍ ثِنْتَيْنِ مَفْصُولَةً وَ وَاحِدَةٍ»

And from him, from Hammad ibn Shu‘ayb, from Abu Basir: Abu Abdillah said: “The witr is three rak‘ahs, two separated and one (by itself).”
