Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 7028 — Those who said: witr is a sunnah
٧٠٢٨ - حدثنا معاذ بن معاذ عن ابن عون عن مسلم مولى (لعبد) (١) القيس قال: قال رجل لابن عمر: أرايت الوتر سنة (هو) (٢)؟ قال: فقال: ما سنة، أوتر رسول اللَّه ﷺ وأوتر المسلمون [قال: لا، أسنة هو؟ فقال: مه، (أتعقل) (٣)؟ أوتر رسول اللَّه ﷺ وأوتر المسلمون] (٤) (٥).
Muslim, the freed slave of Abd al-Qays, said: A man said to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): "In your view, is witr a sunnah or something else?" He said: "What is a sunnah? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed witr, and the Muslims prayed witr!" The man said: "No, is it a sunnah or not?" Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Stop! Do you not understand? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed witr, and the people of Islam prayed witr."
