Those who said: the witr of the daytime is Maghrib

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Maghrib prayer is the witr of the day."

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: At first every prayer was made obligatory as two rak'ahs, except Maghrib, because the Maghrib prayer is the witr of the day.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The night prayer has a witr at its end, and the day prayer has a witr at its end. The witr at the end of the day prayer is the Maghrib prayer.

Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) said: I have not known any of the predecessors to differ over the Maghrib prayer being the witr of the day's prayer.

Mujahid said: The Maghrib prayer is the witr of the day's prayers.

Ibn Sirin said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Maghrib prayer is like the witr of the day, so pray the witr of the night as well."

Sayyiduna Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Witr is three rak'ahs, just as the Maghrib prayer, the witr of the day, is three rak'ahs.
