[Machine] My friend, Khalil, advised me to do three things: fasting three days of every month, praying two units of Duha (forenoon prayer), and performing the Witr prayer before going to sleep. Abu Amr Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Adib informed us, Abu Bakr al-Isma'ili narrated to us, Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Firyabi narrated to us, Shayban ibn Farrokh narrated to us, and Abdul Warith mentioned it with a similar narration except that he said, "Abu Uthman, meaning al-Nahdi, narrated to me."  

أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي ﷺ بِثَلَاثٍ بِصِيَامِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَرَكْعَتَيِ الضُّحَى وَأَنْ أُوتِرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْقُدَ 4843 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ثنا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُثْمَانَ يَعْنِي النَّهْدِيَّ
