[Machine] On the authority of Uqbah ibn 'Amr and Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, they said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform voluntary prayers occasionally at the beginning and middle of the night to make it easy for the Muslims."
عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَأَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُوتِرُ أَحْيَانًا أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَوَسَطَهُ لِيَكُونَ سَعَةً لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ»
"عَنْ عقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: كانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يُوتِرُ أَحْيَانًا أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَأَحْيَانًا أَوْسَطَهُ وَأَحْيَانًا آخِرَهُ، لِيَكُونَ سَعَة لِلْمُسْلِمِين أَى ذَلِكَ أَخَذُوا بِهِ كانَ صَوَابًا".
[Machine] "The Sunnah of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, this refers to the Sunnah of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ ."
«سُنَّةُ اللهِ وَسُنَّةُ رَسُولِهِ يُرِيدُ هَذِهِ سُنَّةُ اللهِ وَسُنَّةُ رَسُولِهِ ﷺ»
[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated from Malik who narrated to us from Ali bin al-Mubarak al-Sanaani that Ismail bin Abi Uwais narrated to me from Malik who narrated to us from Abu Yazid al-Qaratisi who narrated from Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Umar from Saeed bin Yasar that he said: "I was traveling with Abdullah bin Umar on the road to Mecca. Saeed said: When I feared dawn, I stopped and performed the Witr prayer." Abdullah said: "Is there not a good example in the Messenger of Allah?" I said: "Yes." He said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform the Witr prayer on a camel."
ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ أنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بِطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَلَمَّا خَشِيتُ الصُّبْحَ نَزَلْتُ فَأَوْتَرْتُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَلَيْسَ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُوتِرُ عَلَى الْبَعِيرِ
[Machine] About the Witr prayer, he began to say "At the end of the night." So I said, "Do you mean, do you mean?" He said, "Make your meaning at that star, and he pointed towards the sky. The night prayer is done in pairs, in pairs, and the Witr prayer is a single unit at the end of the night."
عَنِ الْوِتْرِ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ «آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ» فَقُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ أَرَأَيْتَ؟ فَقَالَ «اجْعَلْ أَرَأَيْتَ عِنْدَ ذَاكَ الْكَوْكَبِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَالْوِتْرُ رَكْعَةٌ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ»
[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I complain to you about whispers that I feel in my chest. When I am in prayer, I do not know whether to finish my prayer in a sitting position (after two units) or in a prostrating position (after one unit)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you experience this, raise your right index finger and stab it in your left thigh and say, 'In the name of Allah,' for it is the weapon of the Satan."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ وَسْوَسَةً أَجِدُهَا فِي صَدْرِي إِنِّي أَدْخُلُ فِي صَلَاتِي فَمَا أَدْرِي عَلَى شَفْعٍ أنْفَتِلُ أَمْ عَلَى وِتْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا وَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَارْفَعْ إِصْبَعَكَ السَّبَّابَةَ الْيُمْنَى فَاطْعَنْهُ فِي فَخِذِكَ الْيُسْرَى وَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ فَإِنَّهَا سِكِّينُ الشَّيْطَانِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went out happily and said, "Indeed, Allah has increased for you a prayer, and it is the Witr prayer."
خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُسْتَبْشِرًا فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ زَادَكُمْ صَلَاةً وَهِيَ الْوِتْرُ»
"إِنَّ الله ﷻ قَدْ زَادَكُمْ صلاةً، وَهِى الْوتْرُ".
[Machine] A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ informed me that he heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Indeed, Allah has added a prayer for you, so pray it between the 'Isha prayer and the Witr prayer. Indeed, it is the Witr prayer." And know that he is Abu Basrah al-Ghifari.
أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ زَادَكُمْ صَلَاةً فَصَلُّوهَا فِيمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ الْوِتْرَ الْوِتْرَ» أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ أَبُو بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيُّ
[Machine] A man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed me that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, Allah has added a prayer for you, so pray it between the evening prayer and the dawn prayer, the Witr prayer, the Witr." And it is Abu Basrah Al-Ghifari.
أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ زَادَكُمْ صَلَاةً فَصَلُّوهَا فِيمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ الْوِتْرَ الْوِتْرَ» أَلَا وَإِنَّهُ أَبُو بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيُّ
[Machine] Abdullah used to not consistently observe any act of worship except for performing the Witr prayer before the rak'ah.
«كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَا يَقْنُتُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ إِلَّا فِي الْوِتْرِ قَبْلَ الرَّكْعَةِ»
[Machine] Abdullah used to not perform the morning prayer regularly, and when he did, he would perform the Witr prayer before the last unit.
«كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَا يَقْنُتُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ وَإِذَا قَنَتَ فِي الْوِتْرِ قَنَتَ قَبْلَ الرَّكْعَةِ»
[Machine] Abdullah used to not pray the Fajr prayer regularly, but when he did, he would pray the Witr prayer before the Rak'ah.
«كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَا يَقْنُتُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ وَإِذَا قَنَتَ فِي الْوِتْرِ قَنَتَ قَبْلَ الرَّكْعَةِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Recite the Night Prayer, O people of the Quran."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَوْتِرُوا يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ»
[Machine] Tell us when the Prophet ﷺ used to perform the Witr prayer? He said, "When a portion of the night remains after the previous prayers until the Maghrib prayer, he was asked about his recitation, and he said, 'He used to recite aloud for the people of the household.'"
أَخْبِرْنَا مَتَى كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُوتِرُ؟ قَالَ إِذَا بَقِيَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ نَحْوٌ مِمَّا مَضَى مِنْهُ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ قِرَاءَتَهِ فَقَالَ كَانَ يُسْمِعُ أَهْلَ الدَّارِ
[Machine] "He used to perform Tahajjud (night prayer) when there was still time left in the night, just as he used to perform the Maghrib prayer before the nightfall."
«كَانَ يُوتِرُ حِينَ يَبْقَى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مِثْلُ مَا ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ حِينَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ»
[Machine] Abdullah used to perform the Sunnah prayer after returning from the Maghrib prayer when a portion of the night remained.
«أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ كَانَ يُوتِرُ إِذَا بَقِيَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ نَحْوَ مَا ذَهَبَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ»
[Machine] "The Witr is the prayer between the two regular prayers."
«الْوِتْرُ مَا بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ»
[Machine] Abdullah: "Al-Witr is the prayer between the two obligatory prayers."
عَبْدُ اللهِ «الْوِتْرُ مَا بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ»
[Machine] "The Witr is the prayer performed between the two prayers."
«الْوِتْرُ مَا بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ»
[Machine] "The period between the two prayers is considered to be a voluntary prayer, and specifically the period between the Isha (Night) prayer and the Fajr (Dawn) prayer."
«مَا بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ وِتْرٌ مَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ وَصَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ»
[Machine] I bear witness that Abdullah ibn Mas'ood, indeed I heard him calling out with it as a call: "Witr is the prayer that is between the two prayers, the last prayer of the night which you call Al Atamah, and the prayer of Fajr, when do you pray Witr, it is good."
أَشْهَدُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يُنَادِي بِهَا نِدَاءً «الْوِتْرُ مَا بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ الَّتِي تُسَمُّونَ الْعَتَمَةَ وَصَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ مَتَى أَوْتَرْتَ فَحَسَنٌ»
[Machine] Ibn Mas'ood used to perform the night prayer after Fajr, and my father used to perform the night prayer before Fajr.
«كَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ» يُوتِرُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ «» وَكَانَ أَبِي يُوتِرُ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ
[Machine] "O Abu Abdurrahman, is there a prayer after the adhan (call to prayer)?" He said, "Yes, and after the iqama (call to commence prayer)."
يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَلْ بَعْدَ الْأَذَانِ وِتْرٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَبَعْدَ الْإِقَامَةِ»
[Machine] "That Abdullah used to perform the voluntary prayers of night (Tahajjud) in sets of three."
«أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ فَأَعْلَى»
[Machine] "Abdullah used to perform the voluntary night prayer in sets of three, and then he would end with one additional unit."
«كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ فَأَعْلَى»
[Machine] Ibn Mas'ud said: "The night prayer is like the day prayer, (meaning they both hold equal importance and reward) and the Maghrib prayer should be performed three times (meaning one should perform three units of prayer for Maghrib)."
ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «وِتْرُ اللَّيْلِ كَوِتْرِ النَّهَارِ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ ثَلَاثًا»
[Machine] "The Witr prayer is three, like the Witr of the daytime prayer."
«الْوِتْرُ ثَلَاثٌ كَوِتْرِ النَّهَارِ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ»
[Machine] "Witr is three units of prayer, similar to the prayer of Maghrib."
«الْوِتْرُ ثَلَاثُ رَكَعَاتٍ كَصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ»
«مَا أَجْزَأَتْ رَكْعَةٌ قَطُّ»
[Machine] Abdullah replied, "Yes, but three are better." Saad then said, "I can't add anything more to it." This made Abdullah angry, and Saad said, "Are you angry with me for praying one additional unit of prayer while you inherit three grandmothers? Won't you also leave a share for Hawwa, the wife of Adam?" Yahya informed me about this from Thawri.
عَبْدُ اللهِ «بَلَى وَلَكِنْ ثَلَاثٌ أَفْضَلُ» فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ فَإِنِّي لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا فَغَضِبَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ «أَتَغْضَبُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أُوتِرَ بِرَكْعَةٍ وَأَنْتَ تُوَرِّثُ ثَلَاثَ جَدَّاتٍ أَفَلَا تُوَرِّثُ لِحَوَّاءَ امْرَأَةِ آدَمَ؟» أَخْبَرَنِيهِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ
[Machine] Abdullah used to recite "Qul Huwallahu Ahad" in the last Rak'ah of Witr, then he would raise his hands and make supplication before the Rak'ah.
كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَقْرَأُ فِي آخِرِ رَكْعَةٍ مِنَ الْوِتْرِ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فَيَقْنُتُ قَبْلَ الرَّكْعَةِ
[Machine] Ibnu Mas'ud used to observe voluntary night prayers throughout the year.
«أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَ يَقْنُتُ السَّنَةَ كُلَّهَا فِي الْوِتْرِ»
[Machine] He used to offer voluntary prayers before the bowing (rak'ahs) in a prayer, but he did not offer voluntary prayers before the morning prayer.
أَنَّهُ «كَانَ يَقْنُتُ فِي الْوِتْرِ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ وَلَا يَقْنُتُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ»
[Machine] There was a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ called Abu Al-Khattab who asked the Prophet ﷺ about Witr prayer. The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I prefer to perform Witr prayer during the second half of the night. Surely, Allah descends from the highest heaven to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone who asks so I may grant? Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness so I may forgive? Is there anyone who supplicates so I may respond?' Until the dawn comes up."
عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْوِتْرِ فَقَالَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُوتِرَ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ؛ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَهْبِطُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْعُلْيَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ؟ هَلْ مِنْ دَاعٍ؟ حَتَّى إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ ارْتَفَعَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Aisha bint Abu Bakr in Shawwal and consummated the marriage with her in Medina during Shawwal, after sixteen months of his migration to Medina. Aisha passed away on the night of Tuesday, in the seventeenth night of Ramadan, after the Witr prayer, in the fifty-eighth year. She was buried on the same night.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «تَزَوَّجَ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي شَوَّالٍ وَأَعْرَسَ بِهَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي شَوَّالٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا مِنْ مُهَاجَرِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَتُوُفِّيَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَيْلَةَ الثُّلَاثَاءِ لِسَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ مَضَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَدُفِنَتْ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهَا»
[Machine] On the authority of Nafi and others from the people of knowledge, they said: "We performed prayer upon Aisha and Umm Salamah, the wives of the Prophet ﷺ, in the middle of Al-Baqi' cemetery, and Abu Hurayrah was the Imam (leading the prayer) on the day that we prayed upon Aisha. Abdullah ibn Umar attended, and Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr and Abdurrahman ibn Abi Bakr entered the grave of Aisha. She passed away in the year sixty-eight during the month of Ramadan, seventeen nights had passed after the Witr prayer, and she was buried on the same night."
عَنْ نَافِعٍ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ قَالُوا صَلَّيْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَيِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَسَطَ الْبَقِيعِ وَالْإِمَامُ يَوْمَ صَلَّيْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَحَضَرَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَدَخَلَ فِي قَبْرِ عَائِشَةَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَعُرْوَةُ ابْنَا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَمَاتَتْ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ فِي رَمَضَانَ لِسَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ مَضَتْ مِنْهُ بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ وَدُفِنَتْ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهَا
[Machine] About your father Muhammad ﷺ? He taught me some words to say in Witr. I asked, "What are they?" He said, "O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided, pardon me among those whom You have pardoned, turn to me in friendship among those on whom You have turned in friendship, and bless me in what You have bestowed, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed. Indeed, You decree and none can decree over You." I said to myself, "Did you remember anything else from him?" He said, "I walked with him in the alley of charity and I took a date and put it in my mouth. He put his hand in my mouth and took it out and said, 'O my son, don't you know that we, the people of the Prophet's house, do not eat charity?'"
عَنْ أَبِيكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ عَلَّمَنِي كَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ فِي الْوِتْرِ قُلْتُ مَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ؛ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ» قُلْتُ بِنَفْسِي مَا حَفِظْتَ عَنْهُ غَيْرَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَهُ فِي حَائِطِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَخَذْتُ تَمْرَةً فَأَدْخَلْتُهَا فِي فِيَّ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَهَا وَقَالَ «أَيْ بُنَيَّ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ؟»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray twenty units (rak'ahs) and the odd (witr) during Ramadan.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يُصَلِّي فِي رَمَضَانَ عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً وَالْوِتْرَ»
[Machine] That his father sent him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a need. He said, "So I found him sitting among his companions in the mosque, and I was unable to speak to him. When he finished praying Maghrib, he stood up and bowed until the Muezzin called the Isha prayer, and the people followed. Then he prayed the prayer and stood in bowing until those who remained in the mosque left. Then he went to his house, and I followed him. When he heard my footsteps, he said, 'Who is this?' and turned to me. I said, 'Ibn Abbas.' He said, 'The cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' I said, 'The cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' He said, 'Welcome, the cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . What brought you?' I said, 'My father sent me with something and something.' He said, 'Did you come at this time?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'If you did not come to your appointment at this time, then you are not leaving.' He entered his house, and I entered with him. I said, 'I would like to see the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So he slept until I heard him snore. Then he woke up and threw his gaze towards the sky and recited these verses from Surah Ali Imran, 'Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth,' until the end of the five verses, until he reached, 'Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise.' Then he said, 'O Allah, make light in my hearing, light in my sight, light beneath me, and give me light with You.' And beside him was a container filled with tooth stick from Arak, and he sharpened it, then rinsed, then he stood and prayed two rak'ahs, and again he slept until I heard him snore. Then he woke up and recited verses and invoked supplications, then he washed, then he prayed two rak'ahs, then he slept until I heard him snore. Then he woke up and recited verses and invoked supplications, then he washed, then he prayed two rak'ahs, then he slept until I heard him snore, and he recited the verses, then he invoked with the invocation, then he washed, then he stood and prayed a prayer I recognized he performs more rak'ahs in it. So I came to his left corner, and he took me by the ear and turned me until he positioned me to his right corner. Then he prayed two rak'ahs of Fajr, then he went out to the prayer.
أَنَّ أَبَاهُ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَاجَةٍ قَالَ فَوَجَدْتُهُ جَالِسًا فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَهُ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ قَامَ يَرْكَعُ حَتَّى أَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ وَثَّابَ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الصَّلَاةَ فَقَامَ يَرْكَعُ حَتَّى انْصَرَفَ مَنْ بَقِيَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَتَبِعْتُهُ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ حِسِّي قَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» وَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ «ابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟» قُلْتُ ابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَرْحَبًا بِابْنِ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟» فَقُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي أَبِي بِكَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ «السَّاعَةَ جِئْتَ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَا فَقَالَ «إِذْ لَمْ تَنْصَرِفْ إِلَى سَاعَتِكَ هذِهِ فَلَسْتَ مُنْصَرِفًا» فَدَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ وَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُ فَقُلْتُ لَأَنْظُرَنَّ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَرَمَى بِبَصَرِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَتَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ {إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ} إِلَى آخِرِهَا الْآيَاتِ الْخَمْسَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى {إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ} ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي سَمْعِي نُورًا وَفِي بَصَرِي نُورًا وَمِنْ تَحْتِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ لِي عِنْدَكَ نُورًا» وَإِلَى جَانِبِهِ مِخْضَبٌ مِنْ بِرَامٍ مُطْبَقٌ عَلَيْهِ سِوَاكٌ فَاسْتَنَّ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَعَادَ فَنَامَ أَيْضًا حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَتَلَا الْآيَاتِ وَدَعَا الدَّعْوَةَ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَّ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ نَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَتَلَا الْآيَاتِ وَدَعَا الدَّعْوَةَ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَّ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ نَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ فَتَلَا الْآيَاتِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِالدَّعْوَةِ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَّ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى صَلَاةً عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ يُوتِرُ فِيهَا فَجِئْتُ إِلَى رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ فَأَخَذَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ فِي أُذُنِي فَأَدَارَنِي حَتَّى أَقَامَنِي إِلَى رُكْنِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ الْفَجْرَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
[Machine] Seek the night of Al-Qadr in the seventeenth, nineteenth, and twenty-first nights of Ramadan, during the pre-dawn of the day of Badr, the day of the great distinction, the day the two groups met. It cannot occur except in an odd-numbered night.
الْتَمِسُوا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ لِسَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ صَبِيحَةَ يَوْمِ بَدْرٍ {يَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعَانِ} وَفِي إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَفِي ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَكُونُ إِلَّا فِي وِتْرٍ
[Machine] This passage is in Arabic and translates to "About Aisha and Maymuna."
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَمَيْمُونَةَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform nine rak'ahs of Witr. But when it was close to the time of Fajr, he would perform seven rak'ahs. He would then perform an additional two rak'ahs while sitting. (Hadith narrated by Muhammad ibn Bashshar, from Al-Hajjaj, from Hammad, from Humaid, from Bakr, from Sa'd ibn Hisham, from Aisha, from the Prophet ﷺ , with a similar narration.)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ فَلَمَّا لَحُمَ أَوْتَرَ بِسَبْعٍ وَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ» 1415 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ بَكْرٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلِهِ
[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ used to perform nine units of voluntary prayer, sitting in the eighth unit, then he would stand and perform one more unit of prayer. Hisham ibn Hassan disagreed with him.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ يَقْعُدُ فِي الثَّامِنَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَرْكَعُ رَكْعَةً» خَالَفَهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانٍ

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ» يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray eight rak'ahs after the last Isha prayer, then he would perform "wittr" prayer. After that, he would pray two rak'ahs in which he would recite while sitting. When he wanted to perform the next rak'ah, he would stand up and pray, and then he would pray two rak'ahs after that for the Fajr prayer.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform his night prayer by reciting "Subhan Rabbi l-A'la" and "Qul ya ayyuha l-Kafirun" and "Huwa Allah ahad." After completing the prayer, he would say "Subhan al-Malik al-Qudus" three times. Abu 'Abd al-Rahman Shu'bah said: 'Zubayd and Sa'id ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abza both narrated this hadith to me.'
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُوتِرُ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ شُعْبَةُ أَدْخَلَ بَيْنَ زُبَيْدٍ وَبَيْنَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى زِرًّا
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray eight units of prayer and then he would perform the Witr prayer as the ninth. But when he grew older, he prayed six units, performed the Witr prayer as the seventh, and then prayed two units while sitting.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يُصَلِّي ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَيُوتِرُ بِالتَّاسِعَةِ فَلَمَّا بَدُنَ صَلَّى سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَأَوْتَرَ بِالسَّابِعَةِ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»
[Machine] We have Abu Abdul Rahman, also known as Abu Mu'aid, his name is Hafs ibn Ghailan and he is proficient in Hadith.
لنا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو مُعَيْدٍ اسْمُهُ حَفْصُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ وَهُوَ صَالِحُ الْحَدِيثِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The night prayer is performed in pairs, and the odd prayer is performed as a single unit." Abu Abdur Rahman, Khalid ibn Ziyad ibn Jarwan, the upright Khurasani, narrated this Hadith.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَالْوِتْرُ رَكْعَةً» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالِدُ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ جَرْوٍ خُرَاسَانِيٌّ مُسْتَقِيمُ الْحَدِيثِ
