البزّار:٦١٩حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَا نا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ نا الْحَجَّاجُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْوِتْرِ وَاجِبٌ هُوَ قَالَ أَمَّا الْفَرِيضَةُ فَلَا

وَلَكِنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى مَضَوْا عَلَى ذَلِكَ

أَمَّا كَالْفَرِيضَةِ فَلَا وَلَكِنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ صَنَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى مَضَوْا عَلَى ذَلِكَ

الْوَتْرُ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
