Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 3485

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنِ الْوِتْرِ قَالَ : أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَوْ أَوْتَرْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنَامَ ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ بِاللَّيْلِ شَفَعْتُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ مَا مَضَى مِنْ وِتْرِي ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُ صَلَاتِي أَوْتَرْتُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ ( إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ آخِرَ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ الْوِتْرُ ) .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَفِيهِ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَهُوَ مُدَلِّسٌ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when he was asked about the witr, he said: If I have performed the witr before sleeping, and then I intend to pray at night, I make the witr I had performed even by adding one rak'ah, then I keep praying two rak'ahs at a time, and when I have completed my prayer, I perform one rak'ah of witr, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the witr be made the last part of the night prayer.
Imam Ahmad recorded this narration; its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Ishaq, who is a mudallis (one who conceals defects in the chain), and he is thiqah (trustworthy); the remaining narrators of this narration are the narrators of the Sahih.
