Chapter on the command for Witr prayer
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 271 — on the command for Witr prayer
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَتْ تَقُولُ : " مَنْ خَشِيَ أَنْ يَنَامَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ ، فَلْيُوتِرْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ ، وَمَنْ رَجَا أَنْ يَسْتَيْقِظَ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَلْيُؤَخِّرْ وِتْرَهُ "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) received the information that Umm al-Mu'minin Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to say that whoever fears that his eyes may not open until morning should perform Witr before sleeping, and whoever hopes to wake up in the last part of the night should delay Witr.
