[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Bakr, "At what time do you perform the prayer of the Witr?" He said, "The first part of the night after the darkness." He then asked, "And what about you, O Umar?" He replied, "The last part of the night." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "As for you, O Abu Bakr, you have taken the softness, and as for you, O Umar, you have taken the strength."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ أَيَّ حِينٍ تُوتِرُ؟ قَالَ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ يَا عُمَرُ؟ قَالَ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ ﷺ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَأَخَذْتَ بِالْوُثْقَى وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عُمَرُ فَأَخَذْتَ بِالْقُوَّةِ
