حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

لَيْسَ الْوِتْرُ بِحَتْمٍ كَهَيْئَةِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ

Witr is not a must like regular prayer, but it is a Sunnah that was established by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
