حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الجَزَّارِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَت : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعٍ ، فَلَمَّا أَسَنَّ وَثَقُلَ أَوْتَرَ بِسَبْعٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform Witr with nine rak'ahs. Then, when his age increased and his blessed body became heavy, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) started performing Witr with seven rak'ahs.
