[Machine] Abdullah al-Witr said, "There are three witr prayers in the evening, this is a correct hadith from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, not raised to the Prophet ﷺ, and it was raised by Yahya ibn Zakariya ibn Abi al-Hawajib al-Kufi from al-A'mash, who is weak, and his narration contradicts the narration of the majority from al-A'mash."  

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ الْوِتْرُ ثَلَاثٌ كَوِتْرِ النَّهَارِ الْمَغْرِبِ هَذَا صَحِيحٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ غَيْرَ مَرْفُوعٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ رَفَعَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي الْحَوَاجِبِ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَرِوَايَتُهُ تُخَالِفُ رِوَايَةَ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ  

[Machine] "Abdullah al-Witr said, 'It is either seven or five, and not less than three.' It was reported by Al-A'mash from Ibrahim, who said, 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud said this, while he was discontinuous and suspended.'"  

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ الْوِتْرُ سَبْعٌ أَوْ خَمْسٌ وَلَا أَقَلُّ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ وَقِيلَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ مُنْقَطِعٌ وَمَوْقُوفٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not offer the Salam in the two units of Witr prayer as such.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُسَلِّمُ فِي رَكْعَتَيِ الْوِتْرِ كَذَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not make it difficult for yourselves with three things: resembling the Maghrib prayer, performing the Witr prayer with seven units, or performing it with five units."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تُوتِرُوا بِثَلَاثٍ تُشَبِّهُوا بِصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَوْتِرُوا بِسَبْعٍ أَوْ بِخَمْسٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not be steadfast in praying three rak'ahs that resemble the Maghrib (sunset) prayer, but rather be steadfast in praying five rak'ahs or seven rak'ahs or nine rak'ahs or eleven rak'ahs or more than that." Ibn Bukair narrated this from Al-Layth.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تُوتِرُوا بِثَلَاثٍ تُشَبِّهُوا بِالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَكِنْ أَوْتِرُوا بِخَمْسٍ أَوْ بِسَبْعٍ أَوْ بِتِسْعٍ أَوْ بِإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ كَمَا  

The above mentioned tradition has also been transmitted in a similar manner by Ibn 'Abbas from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1491)   

فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ مَوْقُوفًا
