حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ النَّاقِدُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْخُرَيْبِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ، وَلَكِنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَوْتِرُوا يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ
