[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about Shafa'a (intercession) and Witr (odd number prayers). He replied, "It is the prayer, some of it is Shafa'a, and some of it is Witr."  

أحمد:١٩٩١٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ عِصَامٍ أَنَّ شَيْخًا حَدَّثَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ فَقَالَ هِيَ الصَّلَاةُ بَعْضُهَا شَفْعٌ وَبَعْضُهَا وَتْرٌ
