اُردوEn
عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ ضِفْتُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَتَنَاوَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَضَرَبَهَا وَقَالَ: يَا أَشْعَثُ! اِحْفَظْ عَنِّي ثَلَاثًا، حَفِظْتُهُنَّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا تَسْأَلِ الرَّجُلَ فِيمَا ضَرَبَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَلَا تَنَمْ إِلَّا عَلَى وَتْرٍ وَنَسِيتُ الثَّالِثَةَ
Ash'ath bin Qais says: I became a guest of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). First, he caught his wife and struck her, then said: O Ash'ath! Remember three things from me, I learned these from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Do not ask a man why he struck his wife, do not sleep without offering Witr, and the third thing I have forgotten.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This narration is weak; nevertheless, for the person who fears that he may not wake up, it is better for him to perform the Witr prayer before sleeping. However, performing this prayer in the last third of the night is more virtuous.
