[Machine] I heard Ali saying, "Verily, Witr (a specific prayer) is not obligatory like the regular prayers, but it is a recommended act, so do not neglect it."
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ «إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ كَالصَّلَاةِ وَلَكِنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ فَلَا تَدَعُوهُ»
Witr is not an essential like regular prayer, but it is a Sunnah that was established by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
الْوَتْرُ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ مِثْلَ الصَّلاةِ وَلَكِنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
" عن عَلِىٍّ قالَ: الوِتْرُ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ مثل الصَّلاَةِ الْمكتُوبَةِ، وَلَكِنَّه سُنَّةٌ سَنَّها رَسولُ الله ﷺ ".
