It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Muslim, the freed slave of Abd al-Qays (may Allah have mercy on him), said: A man asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): "What is your view about the witr prayer; is it a Sunnah?" He said: "What do you mean by Sunnah? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims have prayed witr." The man asked again: "Is it a Sunnah?" So Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to him: "Do you not have any sense? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims have prayed witr."
