Musnad Abi Ya'la 1821 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Sayyiduna Abu
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ قَالَ : مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِعُمَرَ : مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ قَالَ : مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ ، قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : أَخَذْتَ بِالْحَزْمِ ، وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ : أَخَذْتَ بِالْقُوَّةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "When do you pray the witr?" He said: "In the early part of the night, after Isha." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "When do you pray the witr?" He said: "In the last part of the night." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "You have taken the way of caution and foresight," and he said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "You have held to the side of strength and resolve."
