Sunan Ibn Majah

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْوِتْرُ حَقٌّ فَمَنْ شَائَ فَلْيُوتِرْ بِخَمْسٍ وَمَنْ شَائَ فَلْيُوتِرْ بِثَلَاثٍ وَمَنْ شَائَ فَلْيُوتِرْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ

It was narrated from Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari that the Messenger of Allah SAW said: "Witr is Haqq Whoever wishes let him pray Witr with five (Rak'ah), and whoever wishes let him pray Witr with three (Rak'ah), and whoever wishes let him pray Witr with one (Rak'ah).'(Sahih).

اَبِیْ اَیُّوْبَ الْاَنْصَارِیِّ ← عَطَائِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ ← الزُّهْرِيِّ، ← الْاَوْزَاعِیُّ ← الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ← عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ،

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَی عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ قُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَفْتِينِي عَنْ وِتْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ کُنَّا نُعِدُّ لَهُ سِوَاکَهُ وَطَهُورَهُ فَيَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ فِيمَا شَائَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَهُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ فَيَتَسَوَّکُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي تِسْعَ رَکَعَاتٍ لَا يَجْلِسُ فِيهَا إِلَّا عِنْدَ الثَّامِنَةِ فَيَدْعُو رَبَّهُ فَيَذْکُرُ اللَّهَ وَيَحْمَدُهُ وَيَدْعُوهُ ثُمَّ يَنْهَضُ وَلَا يُسَلِّمُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي التَّاسِعَةَ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ فَيَذْکُرُ اللَّهَ وَيَحْمَدُهُ وَيَدْعُو رَبَّهُ وَيُصَلِّي عَلَی نَبِيِّهِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمًا يُسْمِعُنَا ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَکْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ مَا يُسَلِّمُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَتِلْکَ إِحْدَی عَشْرَةَ رَکْعَةً فَلَمَّا أَسَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَخَذَ اللَّحْمَ أَوْتَرَ بِسَبْعٍ وَصَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ مَا سَلَّمَ

It was narrated that Sa'd bin Hish am said: "I asked 'Aishah: 'O Mother of the Believers! Tell me about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah SAW: She said: 'We used to keep his tooth stick and water for ablution ready for him. Allah would wake him as He willed to during the night, and he would use the tooth stick and perform ablution, then he would pray nine Rak'ah, during which he would not sit until the eighth Rak'ah. Then he would call upon his Lord and remember Allah and praise Him and supplicate to Him. Then he would get up without saying the Salam. Then he would stand up and pray the ninth Rak'ah.. Then he would sit and remember Allah and praise Him, and supplicate to his Lord and send blessing upon His Prophet. Then he would say Salam that we could hear. Then he would pray two Rak'ah after the Salam, while he was sitting down. That was eleven Rak' ah. When the Messenger of Allah SAW grew older and had gained weight, he would pray Witr with seven Rak'ah and then pray two more Rak'ah after he had said the Salam."

وِتْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ← سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ قُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَفْتِينِي ← سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ← زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى ← قَتَادَةَ ← سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ← أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوتِرُ بِسَبْعٍ أَوْ بِخَمْسٍ لَا يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُنَّ بِتَسْلِيمٍ وَلَا کَلَامٍ

It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: "The Messenger of Allah SAW used to pray Witr with seven or five Rak'ah, and he would not say Salam or speak in between them."(Sahih).

أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ← مِقْسَمٍ، ← الْحَكَمِ ← مَنْصُورٌ، ← زُهَيْرٍ ← حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ← أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،
