حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَنْدَلٍ وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ جَمِيعًا فِي سَنَةِ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ قَالا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ
أَلَا إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ كَصَلَاتِكُمُ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ، وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْتَرَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَوْتِرُوا يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ، أَوْتِرُوا فَإِنَّ اللهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ،
