وَحَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي: يُوسُفُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: نَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي خُبَيْبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ
أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى بَنِيهِ: مِنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَإِنِّي أَحْمَدُ إِلَيْكُمُ اللهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ. أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنِّي أُوصِيكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ، وَأَنْ تُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ، وَتَجْتَنِبُوا الْخَبَائِثَ، وَتُطِيعُوا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالْخُلَفَاءَ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ أَمْرَ اللهِ. أَلَا وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ يُصَلِّيَ أَحَدُنَا بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ مَا قَلَّ أَوْ كَثُرَ وَنَجْعَلُهَا وِتْرًا

✧ He wrote to his sons: From Samurah b. Jundub, peace be upon you. I praise Allah, besides whom there is no deity, to you. To proceed: I enjoin upon you fear of Allah, that you establish prayer, give zakah, avoid wicked things, and obey Allah, His Messenger, and the caliphs who uphold the command of Allah. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to pray at night, or that one of us pray after the prescribed prayer whether little or much, and make it an odd number (witr).
