حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ وَلَا کَصَلَاتِکُمْ الْمَکْتُوبَةِ وَلَکِنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْتَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ أَوْتِرُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ

ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1169

'Ali bin Abu Talib said: "Witr is not definite (obligatory) nor is it like your prescribed prayers. But the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H prayed Witr, then he said: '0 people of the Qur'an! Perform Witr, for Allah is Witr and He loves the odd (numbered).'" (Da'if)
