أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُعَيْدٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَطَائُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ الْوِتْرُ حَقٌّ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُوتِرَ بِخَمْسِ رَکَعَاتٍ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُوتِرَ بِثَلَاثٍ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُوتِرَ بِوَاحِدَةٍ فَلْيَفْعَلْ

سنن نسائی · Hadith 1717

Abul Mu’aid narrated from Az-Zuhri, who said: “Ata’ bin Yazid narrated to me, that he heard Abu Ayyub Al-An say: ‘Witr is a duty, so whoever wants to pray Wili with five Rak’ahs, let him do so; whoever wants to pray Witr with three, let him do so; and whoever wants to pray Witr with one, let him do so.” (Sahih)
