أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ قَالَ
الْوَتْرُ سَبْعٌ فَلاَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسٍ

"Witr is seven and no less than five." I mentioned that to Ibrahim and he said: "From whom did he quote that?" I said: "I do not know." Al-Hakam said: "Then I performed Hajj and I met Miqsam and said to him: 'From whom (did you narrate that)?' He said: 'From the trustworthy one, from Aishah and from Maimunah.'"
