مُسْنَدُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 618 — he said: The witr prayer is not definitively
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : الْوِتْرُ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ مِثْلَ الصَّلَاةِ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The witr prayer is not definitively binding like the obligatory prayers; rather, it is a sunnah which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established."
