حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ مَوْلًى لِعَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ قَالَ مُعَاذٌ كَانَ شُعْبَةُ يَقُولُ الْقُرِّيِّ
قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَرَأَيْتَ الْوَتْرَ أَسُنَّةٌ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: مَا سُنَّةٌ ؟ أَوْتَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَوْتَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ. قَالَ: لَا. أَسُنَّةٌ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: مَهْ أَتَعْقِلُ ؟ أَوْتَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَوْتَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ.

✧ A man said to Ibn Umar, "Do you consider Witr (odd number of units of prayer) to be a recommended practice?" He replied, "It is not a recommended practice, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Witr and the Muslims also prayed Witr." The man then asked, "So, it is not recommended?" Ibn Umar replied, "Are you trying to understand whether it is recommended or not? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Witr and the Muslims also prayed Witr."
