Hadith 1084
نَا أَبُو يَحْيَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْبَزَّازُ بِخَبَرٍ غريب ، أنا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّيْلَحِينِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ : " مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ " قَالَ : أُوتِرُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنَامَ ، فَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ : " مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ " قَالَ : أَنَامُ ، ثُمَّ أُوتِرُ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ : " أَخَذْتَ بِالْحَزْمِ ، أَوْ بِالْوَثِيقَةِ " ، وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ : " أَخَذْتَ بِالْقُوَّةِ " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : هَذَا عِنْدَ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ حَمَّادٍ مُرْسَلٌ ، لَيْسَ فِيهِ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), "When do you perform Witr?" He replied, "I perform Witr before sleeping." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "When do you perform Witr?" He replied, "I sleep first, then (after waking up) I perform Witr." So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), "You have chosen caution and firmness." And to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) he said, "You have chosen strength and determination." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that according to our companions, this narration is Mursal from the chain of Hammad; in it, the intermediary of Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) is not mentioned.
Hadith 1085
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ هُوَ الْمَكِّيُّ ، نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ : " مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ " قَالَ : أُوتِرُ ثُمَّ أَنَامُ قَالَ : " بِالْحَزْمِ أَخَذْتَ " ، وَسَأَلَ عُمَرَ ، فَقَالَ : " مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ " ، فَقَالَ : أَنَامُ ثُمَّ أَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَأُوتِرُ ، قَالَ : " فِعْلِي فَعَلْتَ " وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى فِي قِصَّةِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " فِعْلَ الْقَوِيِّ فَعَلْتَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), "When do you perform Witr?" He replied, "I perform Witr and then sleep." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have chosen the cautious way." And he asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "When do you perform Witr?" He replied, "I sleep, then (after waking up) I pray at night and also perform Witr." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have chosen my way." Muhammad bin Yahya narrated in the story of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) these words: "You do the work of a strong man."
Hadith 1086
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ ، أَيْضًا أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِدْرِيسَ ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ جَمِيعًا عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى ، نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ وَهُوَ الأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ خَافَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ لا يَسْتَيْقِظَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ ، فَلْيُوتِرْ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ ، وَلْيَرْقُدْ ، وَمَنْ طَمِعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَيْقِظَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَلْيُوتِرْ مِنْ آخِرِهِ ؛ فَإِنَّ صَلاةَ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ مَحْضُورَةٌ ، فَذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ " هَذَا حَدِيثُ عِيسَى وَفِي حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ ، وَأَبِي عَوَانَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever among you fears that he will not be able to wake up in the last part of the night, then he should offer Witr at the beginning of the night and go to sleep. And whoever among you hopes to wake up in the last part of the night, then he should offer Witr in the last part, for indeed, the angels are present in the prayer of the last part of the night, and it is more virtuous." This is the narration of Isa. In the narration of Jarir and Abu Awanah, these words are present: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)."
