حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْمَعْنَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ الزَّوْفِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُرَّةَ الزَّوْفِيِّ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ قَالَ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْعَدَوِيُّ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَمَدَّکُمْ بِصَلَاةٍ وَهِيَ خَيْرٌ لَکُمْ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ وَهِيَ الْوِتْرُ فَجَعَلَهَا لَکُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الْعِشَائِ إِلَی طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1418
Narrated Kharijah ibn Hudhafah al-Adawi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and said: Allah the Exalted has given you an extra prayer which is better for you then the red camels (i. e. high breed camels). This is the witr which Allah has appointed for you between the night prayer and the daybreak.
