Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26755

Muhammad bin Bashar narrated to us, Abd al-Rahman bin Mahdi narrated to us, Shu’bah narrated to us, on the authority of Ali bin Ata’, on the authority of Ali al-Azdi, on the authority of Ibn Omar, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “Night and day prayer is two by two.” Abu Issa said: Shu’bah’s companions disagreed regarding the hadith.
