(حديث مرفوع) قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : " مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ " قَالَ : أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ ، قَالَ : " فَأَنْتَ يَا عُمَرُ ؟ " ، قَالَ : آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ ، قَالَ : " أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، فَأَخَذْتَ بِالثِّقَةِ ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عُمَرُ ، فَأَخَذْتَ بِالْقُوَّةِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Abu Bakr As-Siddiq when he performed the Witr prayer. He replied: After the Isha prayer, in the first part of the night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the same question to Sayyiduna Umar, and he replied: In the last part of the night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abu Bakr, you have preferred the aspect in which there is certainty, and Umar has preferred the aspect in which there is strength.
