[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah had wiped his face during the time of the conquest (of Mecca), when he saw Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas. Sa'd had witnessed the Battle of Badr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He used to perform one Rak'a after the Isha prayer, meaning Taraweeh, without exceeding it until he stood up from the middle of the night.  

وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ زَمَنَ الْفَتْحِ أَنَّهُ رَأَى سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ كَانَ سَعْدٌ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ يَعْنِي الْعَتَمَةَ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى يَقُومَ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ  

[Machine] I said, "Will you not come with us to the palm trees so we can talk?" He said, "Okay." So he went out with us. I said, "Tell me what you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying about the Night of Decree." He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe the first ten days of Ramadan in Itikaf, so we also observed Itikaf with him. Then Jibril came to him and said, 'What you are seeking is ahead of you, so observe Itikaf during the middle ten days of Ramadan.' So we observed Itikaf with him during the middle ten days. Then Jibril came to him and said, 'What you are seeking is ahead of you.' When the morning of the twentieth of Ramadan came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood as a preacher and said, 'Whoever observed Itikaf with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ should return, for I saw the Night of Decree but I forgot it, and it is in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan, and I saw myself prostrating in mud and water.' Someone asked, 'What do you see in the sky?' He said, 'A cloud like a pitcher.' Then a cloud came and the roof of the mosque was made of palm branches, so it rained on us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer, and I saw the traces of mud and water on the forehead of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his beard, confirming his vision."

أَنْ يُوتِرَ نَزَلَ فَأَوْتَرَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ  

[Machine] "Abu Hurairah advised me with three things, which my beloved (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ) never let me neglect: Offering the Witr prayer before going to sleep, fasting three days of every month, and taking a bath on Fridays."  

أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ثَلَاثٌ أَوْصَانِي بِهِنَّ خَلِيلِي ﷺ لَا أَدَعُهُنَّ أَبَدًا الْوَتْرُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنَامَ وَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَالْغُسْلُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ  

[Machine] On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: When one of you wakes up during the night, let him perform the Witr prayer, for Allah is Witr (one) and loves Witr (odd numbers).  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَرْفَعُهُ إِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجْمِرْ وِتْرًافَإِنَّ اللهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ  

[Machine] He asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the Night of Decree, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Look for it in the last ten nights of Ramadan, for it is in odd nights, in the twenty-first or twenty-third, or twenty-fifth, or twenty-seventh, or twenty-ninth, or the last night. Whoever stands in prayer during it, seeking its reward with faith and expecting its reward, his previous sins will be forgiven."  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَإِنَّهَا فِي وَتْرٍ فِي إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍوَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ فَمَنْ قَامَهَا ابْتِغَاءَهَا إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا ثُمَّ وُفِّقَتْ لَهُ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell us about the night of Qadr." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is in the month of Ramadan, seek it in the last ten nights. For it is odd, either on the twenty-first, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-seventh, or twenty-ninth night. Or it may be on the last night. Whoever stands in prayer on this night with faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هِيَ فِي رَمَضَانَ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ؛ فَإِنَّهَا وِتْرٌ فِي إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ فَمَنْ قَامَهَا إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , informed us about the Night of Qadr (Decree), saying: "It is in the month of Ramadan, so seek it in the last ten nights, for it is an odd night, either the night of the twenty-first, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-seventh, or twenty-ninth, or the last night of Ramadan. Whoever performs night prayers on this night with faith and hoping for its reward, will have his previous sins forgiven."  

أَخْبَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ هِيَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ؛ فَإِنَّهَا وَتْرٌ لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ مَنْ قَامَهَا احْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ  

"الْتَمِسُوها في العَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ، فإِنَّها في وَتْرٍ: في إحدى وعشرين،

أو ثلاث وعشرين، أو خمسٍ وعشرين، أو سبع وعشرين، أوْ تسعٍ وعشرين، أو في آخِرِ ليلةٍ، فمن قامها إيمانًا واحِتِسَابا غُفِر لَه ما تَقَدَّمَ من ذنبه وما تأَخر".  

[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»  

[Machine] The translation of the given text is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray eleven units of prayer from the night prayer (Isha) until the dawn prayer (Fajr). He would make the tasleem (conclude the prayer) after every two units, and he would perform one unit of Witr prayer."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي مَا بَيْنَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً يُسَلِّمُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet used to perform the Witr prayer while riding a camel." It was said to Abu Muhammad, "Did you follow his example?" He replied, "Yes."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُوتِرُ عَلَى الْبَعِيرِ» قِيلَ لِأَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ تَأْخُذُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»  

[Machine] Is there someone in the city who met one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ? They said to him, "Abu Hazim." So he sent for him, and when he entered upon him, he said to him, "O Abu Hazim, what is this harshness?" Abu Hazim said, "O Commander of the Believers, what harshness have you seen from me?" He said, "The people of Madinah came to me, but you did not come." He said, "O Commander of the Believers, I swear by Allah that you should not say anything that you did not know about me before this day, nor have I seen you." Sulaiman turned to Muhammad bin Shihab al-Zuhri and said to him, "The old man is right and I made a mistake." Sulaiman said, "O Abu Hazim, why do we dislike death?" Abu Hazim said, "Because you have ruined the hereafter and

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, regarding "By the Dawn; and the Ten Nights" (Fajr 2): The ten are the ten of ˹days˺ of Adha (Dhu al-Hijjah), the odd is the Day of Arafah, and the even is the Day of Nahr (sacrifice).  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {وَالْفَجْرِ وَلِيَالٍ عَشْرٍ} [الفجر 1] «عَشْرُ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ وَالْوِتْرُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ وَالشَّفْعُ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ»  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By the dawn and the ten nights.' [Quran 89:1] He said, 'The ten nights refer to the ten days of sacrifice (during Hajj), and the odd (nights) refer to the day of Arafah and the day of sacrifice.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ {وَالْفَجْرِ وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ} [الفجر 1] قَالَ عَشْرُ النَّحْرِ وَالْوَتْرُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ وَالشَّفْعُ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By the dawn and by the ten nights' [Surah Al-Fajr, verse 2]. He said, 'The ten nights refer to the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and the odd number refers to the day of Arafah, and the even number refers to the day of sacrifice.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ {وَالْفَجْرِ وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ} [الفجر 2] قَالَ «عَشْرُ النَّحْرُ وَالْوَتْرُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ وَالشَّفْعُ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ»  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, regarding "By the Dawn; and the Ten Nights" (Fajr 2), he said: The ten are the ten of ˹days˺ of Adha (Dhu al-Hijjah), the odd is the Day of Arafah, and the even is the Day of Nahr (sacrifice).  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {وَالْفَجْرُ وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ} [الفجر 2] قَالَ «عَشْرُ الْأَضْحَى وَالْوَتْرُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ وَالشَّفْعُ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ»  

It was said to Al-Hasan that Ibn Umar used to do the taslim after the two rakahs of Witr. He replied, "Umar ᴿᴬ was more knowledgeable than him; he would rise up for the third rakah with the takbir."  

قِيلَ لِلْحَسَنِ إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْوِتْرِ فَقَالَ «كَانَ عُمَرُ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ كَانَ يَنْهَضُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ»  

[Machine] Umru was more knowledgeable than him, and he would rise at the third hour with the takbeer.  

كَانَ عُمَرُ أَفْقَهَ مِنْهُ كَانَ يَنْهَضُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ  

He used to perform the Witr prayer with three rakahs without the tashahhud (sitting) in between them, and he would not do the tashahhud except in the last rakah."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ «يُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ لَا يَجْلِسُ فِيهِنَّ وَلَا يَتَشَهَّدُ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِنَّ»  

[Machine] He used to perform a supererogatory prayer consisting of three units, in which he would neither sit nor recite the Tashahhud except in the last unit.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ لَا يَجْلِسُ فِيهِنَّ وَلَا يَتَشَهَّدُ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِنَّ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not perform Witr (the odd numbered nightly prayer) to three rakahs making is seem like the Maghrib prayer. Rather extend it to five, or seven, nine, or eleven rakahs, or even more than that."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُوتِرُوا بِثَلَاثٍ تَشَبَّهُوا بِصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَلَكِنْ أَوْتِرُوا بِخَمْسٍ أَوْ بِسَبْعٍ أَوْ بِتِسْعٍ أَوْ بِإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not perform Witr (the odd numbered nightly prayer) to three rakahs making is seem like the Maghrib prayer. Rather extend it to five, or seven."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تُوتِرُوا بِثَلَاثٍ وَلَا تَشَبَّهُوا بِصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَوْتِرُوا بِخَمْسٍ أَوْ بِسَبْعٍ»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said, "Do not perform Witr (an odd number of units of prayer) with three (units of prayer), rather perform it with five or seven. And do not resemble the Maghrib prayer."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَا تُوتِرُوا بِثَلَاثٍ أَوْتِرُوا بِخَمْسٍ أَوْ بِسَبْعٍ وَلَا تَشَبَّهُوا بِصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not make it difficult for yourselves with three things: resembling the Maghrib prayer, performing the Witr prayer with seven units, or performing it with five units."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تُوتِرُوا بِثَلَاثٍ تُشَبِّهُوا بِصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَوْتِرُوا بِسَبْعٍ أَوْ بِخَمْسٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite in Witr prayer, in the first Rak'ah, "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High." In the second Rak'ah, he would recite "Say: O disbelievers." In the third Rak'ah, he would recite "Say: He is Allah, the One" and "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak." Lastly, he would recite "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform two units of prayer, followed by Witr prayer wherein he would recite after them "Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High" and "Say: O disbelievers!" And in Witr prayer, he would recite "Say: He is Allah, the One" and "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak" and "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ يُوتِرُ بَعْدَهُمَا بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ بِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the two Rak'ahs of Witr after them "Subhanallahi Walhamdulillahi Wa La Ilaha Illallah Wallahu Akbar" (Glorified is Allah, and praised is Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest), and recite in Witr "Qul Huwallahu Ahad" (Say, He is Allah, the One), and say "A'udhu bi Rabbil Falaq" (I seek refuge with the Lord of Daybreak), and say "A'udhu bi Rabbin Nas" (I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind). Sa'id bin Abi Maryam narrated it from Yahya bin Ayyub.  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الَّتِي يُوتِرُ بَعْدَهُمَا بِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ بِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ» تَابَعَهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ  

"In the first rak'ah of witr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite: "GLorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High;" in the second; "Say: O you disbelievers!" and in the third; "Say: He is Allah, (the) One." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1700)   

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى مِنَ الْوِتْرِ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the two Rak'ahs of Witr after which he would say, 'Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High' and 'Say, O disbelievers' and in the Witr, he would recite 'Say: He is Allah, the One', and 'Say: I take refuge in the Lord of daybreak' and 'Say: I take refuge in the Lord of mankind'."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ يُوتِرُ بَعْدَهَا سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ بِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite in Witr in the first rakah, "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High," and in the second rakah, "Say, 'O disbelievers!'" and in the third rakah, "Say, 'He is Allah, the One.'" And say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak," and say, "I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind." This is the wording of the hadith of Abu Abdullah, and in the narration of Al-Alawiyy, it is mentioned that Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated from 'Umrah bint 'Abdul Rahman, and the rest of the wording is the same.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الْعَلَوِيِّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالْبَاقِي بِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] "A good practice, performed by the Prophet ﷺ and Muslims after him, but it is not obligatory."  

أَمْرٌ حَسَنٌ «عَمِلَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَلَيْسَ بِوَاجِبٍ»  

[Machine] A good and beautiful act that the Prophet ﷺ and the Muslims have done after him, but it is not obligatory.  

أَمْرٌ حَسَنٌ جَمِيلٌ عَمِلَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَلَيْسَ بِوَاجِبٍ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you wakes up in the morning and has not performed the Witr prayer, let them perform it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَصْبَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلَمْ يُوتِرْ فَلْيُوتِرْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you wakes up in the morning and has not performed the Witr prayer, then let him perform it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلَمْ يُوتِرْ فَلْيُوتِرْ  

" إذَا أصْبحَ أحدُكم ولم يوتر فَليُوتِر" .  

[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'When any one of you performs wudu, let him perform an odd number of units (of prayer) as Allah is odd and He loves that which is odd. Have you not seen that the heavens are seven and the earths are seven and tawaf is seven?' And he mentioned other things."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُوتِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ أَمَا تَرَى السَّمَاوَاتِ سَبْعًا وَالْأَرَضِينَ سَبْعًا وَالطَّوَافَ» وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ said, "When one of you wakes up, let him observe Witr prayer, for indeed Allah Mighty and Majestic is odd-numbered and He loves odd-numbered." He also mentioned the seven heavens, seven days, and the Tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba). And he mentioned some other things.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُوتِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ أَمَا تَرَى السَّمَاوَاتِ سَبْعًا وَالْأَيَّامَ سَبْعًا وَالطَّوَافَ؟ » وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said: 'When one of you performs ablution, let him perform an odd number of units of prayer (Tahajjud), for indeed Allah is odd and He loves odd numbers. Have you not seen that there are seven heavens and seven earths, and the circumambulation (Tawaf) around the Kaaba, and the mention of things?"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيوتِرْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ أَمَا تَرَى السَّمَاوَاتِ سَبْعًا وَالْأَرَضِينَ سَبْعًا وَالطَّوَافَ وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ  

" إِذَا استجمرَ أحدُكم فليوتِرْ، فإِنَّ اللهَ تعالى وترٌ يحبُّ الوترَ، أما ترى السمواتِ سبعًا، الأرضين سبعًا، والأيامَ سبْعًا، والطوافَ والجِمارَ".  

[Machine] "Yes, this is the time of Witr prayer, then recite (And by the night when it passes away, and by the dawn when it breathes) [Al-Takweer, 18]. 'It is correct with the condition of a Muslim and they did not leave it.'"  

نِعْمَ سَاعَةُ الْوِتْرِ هَذِهِ ثُمَّ تَلَا {وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ وَالصُّبْحُ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ} [التكوير 18] «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» صحيح على شرط مسلم  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Whoever experiences dawn and does not perform the Witr prayer, there is no Witr prayer for them."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ الصُّبْحَ وَلَمْ يُوتِرْ فَلَا وِتْرَ لَهُ» وَ  

[Machine] The translation of the given phrase from Arabic to English is as follows: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever experiences dawn and does not perform the Witr prayer, there is no Witr for him.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ الصُّبْحَ وَلَمْ يُوتِرْ فَلَا وِتْرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Whoever catches the morning prayer (Fajr) and does not offer the Witr prayer, there is no Witr prayer for them."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ الصُّبْحُ فَلَمْ يُوتِرْ فَلَا وِتْرَ لَهُ»  

"مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ الصُّبْحُ وَلَمْ يُوتِرْ فَلَا وتْرَ لَهُ".  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Do not ask a man why he strikes his wife, and do not ask him who supports him among his brothers, and do not rely on them, and do not sleep except on a mattress."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَسْأَلِ الرَّجُلَ فِيمَ يَضْرِبُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَلَا تَسْأَلْهُ عَمَنْ يعْتَمِدُ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ وَلَا يَعْتَمِدُهُمْ وَلَا تَنَمْ إِلَّا عَلَى وِتْرٍ»  

"لا تَسْألِ الرَّجُلَ فِيمَ ضَرَبَ امْرَأتَهُ، وَلا تَسْألهُ عَمَّنْ يعْتَمدُ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ وَلا يَعْتَمِدُهُمْ، ولا تَنَمْ إِلا عَلَى وتْرٍ".  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded Abu Mahdhurah to give the call to prayer and to perform the Iqamah. The mention of this was omitted by Al-Dhahabi in the summary.  

«أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا مَحْذُورَةَ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ الْأَذَانَ وَيُوتِرَ الْإِقَامَةَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said regarding the Night of Decree: "Whatever you have been able to ascertain, seek it in the last ten nights. And in which odd night do you see it?" Some of them said: 'The ninth night', some said 'The seventh night', and some said 'The fifth night' and 'The third night'. He said, "What is wrong with you, Ibn Abbas, that you do not speak?" I said, "If you wish, I will speak." He said, "I did not call you except for you to speak." So I said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Indeed, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, mentions the number 'seven' most.' He said: 'The heavens are seven, and the earths are seven.' And he said, 'Indeed, we have split the earth open, so We caused in it grains, grapes, green fodder, olives, dates, and gardens of dense shrubbery, and fruits, and herbage, and palm trees, and gardens of dense shrubbery, as sustenance for you and your livestock.' And the gardens of dense shrubbery are intertwined and each intertwined garden is a garden, and the herbage is whatever the earth has grown that people do not eat.' Umar said, 'Are you amazed that you say the same as this boy who has not reached the age of having wet dreams?' Then he said, 'Indeed, I forbade you from speaking, so when I call you along with them, speak.'"  

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَفِي أَيِّ الْوِتْرِ تَرَوْنَهَا؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ تَاسِعُهُ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ سَابِعُهُ وَخَامِسُهُ وَثَالِثُهُ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ لَا تَتَكَلَّمُ؟ قُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتَ تَكَلَّمْتُ قَالَ مَا دَعَوْتُكَ إِلَّا لِتَكَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَقُولُ بِرَأْيٍ فَقَالَ عَنْ رَأْيِكَ أَسْأَلُكَ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَكْثَرَ ذِكْرَ السَّبْعِ فَقَالَ السَّمَاوَاتِ سَبْعَ وَالْأَرْضُونَ سَبْعٌ وَقَالَ إِنَّا شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا فَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا فَالْحَدَائِقُ مُلْتَفُّ وَكُلُّ مُلْتَفٍّ حَدِيقَةٌ وَالْأَبُّ مَا أَنْبَتَتِ الْأَرْضُ مِمَّا لَا يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَعَجَزْتُمْ أَنْ تَقُولُوا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ هَذَا الْغُلَامُ الَّذِي لَمْ تَسْتَوِ شُئُونُ رَأْسِهِ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكَ أَنْ تَكَلَّمَ فَإِذَا دَعَوْتُكَ مَعَهُمْ فَتَكَلَّمْ  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hasten to perform the Witr (odd) prayer before dawn." Sahih (authentic).
