حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنِ الْوِتْرِ قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَوْ أَوْتَرْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنَامَ، ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ بِاللَّيْلِ شَفَعْتُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ مَا مَضَى مِنْ وِتْرِي، ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُ صَلَاتِي أَوْتَرْتُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ. إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ آخِرَ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ الْوِتْرُ

✧ "To pray at night, I used to offer one Rak'ah (unit of prayer) after the completion of my Witr (odd) prayer. Then I would pray two Rak'ahs (units of prayer) again and again. And when I finished my prayer, I would perform one Rak'ah of Witr. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that the last prayer at night be Witr."
