[Machine] Sheikh Abu al-Fath al-Umari reported that Abd al-Rahman al-Shuraihi reported that Abu al-Qasim al-Bagawi narrated from Ali ibn al-Jad that Shu'bah reported from Qatadah who said, "I heard Saeed ibn al-Musayyib say, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform the Witr prayer and there is no obligation upon you to do so. He used to perform the Duha prayer and there is no obligation upon you to do so. He used to perform the Salat al-Duha before the noon prayer and there is no obligation upon you to do so.' Qatadah said, 'I said, 'This is what we only know about Witr.' He said, 'O people of the Quran! observe Witr prayer, for indeed Allah is Witr (the Odd) and He loves the odd.'
