Show the chain

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ

مَنْ خَافَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ لاَ يَسْتَيْقِظَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَلْيُوتِرْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ لْيَرْقُدْ وَمَنْ طَمِعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَيْقِظَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَلْيُوتِرْ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّ قِرَاءَةَ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ مَحْضُورَةٌ وَذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ

“Whoever among you fears that he will not wake up at the end of the night, let him pray Witr at the beginning of the night, then go to sleep. Whoever hopes that he will wake up at the end of the night, let him pray Witr at the end of the night, for recitation (of the Qur’an) at the end of the night is attended (by the angels), and that is better.”

What scholars said about it

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

  • Dāraquṭnī

    روي أيضا عن جابر عن عائشة مرفوعا والصواب إسقاط عائشة من هذا الإسناد

    machine translationIt was also narrated from Jābir, from ʿĀʾishah, as a raised report (marfūʿ), but the correct view is to omit ʿĀʾishah from this chain.

    in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 1242
  • Dāraquṭnī

    يرويه الأعمش واختلف عنه فرواه عمرو بن أبي رزين عن الثوري عن الأعمش عن أبي سفيان عن جابر عن عائشة وغيره لا يذكر عائشة وهو الصواب

    machine translationIt is narrated by al-Aʿmash, and there is disagreement about him. ʿAmr b. Abī Razīn narrated it from al-Thawrī, from al-Aʿmash, from Abū Sufyān, from Jābir, from ʿĀʾishah, while others do not mention ʿĀʾishah, and that is the correct version.
