[Machine] Ali went out to the market and I followed him. He went up the stairs and faced the dawn, saying, "And [by] the night when it passes, and [by] the morning when it breathes" [Quran 81:18]. He asked, "Where is the one asking about the Witr prayer?" Yes, this is the time for the Witr prayer, it is 4524. And with this narration, Ismail bin Abi Khalid reported on the authority of Abu Abdul Rahman al-Sulami who said, "Ali went out from this door and said, 'Yes, this is the time for the Witr prayer.'" Then the residence was at that place.
