حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيٌّ:
إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ، وَلَا كَصَلَاتِكُمُ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ، وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْتَرَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ أَوْتِرُوا؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ
