عَنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِمِقْسَمٍ: أُوْتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ ثُمَّ أَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تَفُوتَنِي، قَالَ: لَا وَتْرَ إِلَّا بِخَمْسٍ أَوْسَبْعٍ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِيَحْيَى بْنِ الْجَزَّارِ وَمُجَاهِدٍ، فَقَالَا لِي: سَلْهُ عَمَّنْ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ؟ فَقَالَ: عَنِ الثِّقَةِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَمَيْمُونَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Hakam says: I said to Maqsim: Out of fear that I might miss the Fajr prayer, I (quickly) pray three Witr and then go out for the prayer, but he said: Witr are at least five or seven. I told this statement of his to Yahya bin Jazaar and Mujahid, and they said: Ask him from whom he narrates this report. When I asked him about this, he said: A trustworthy narrator related it to me from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), and they from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
