باب كَمِ الْوِتْرُ:Chapter: How many rak‘ahs is Witr
Hadith 1620
أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهِ عَنْهَا، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ"كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، يُوتِرُ مِنْهَا بِخَمْسٍ، لَا يَجْلِسُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ الْخَمْسِ حَتَّى يَجْلِسَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، فَيُسَلِّمَ".
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the night prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was thirteen rak‘ahs, in which he would perform five rak‘ahs of Witr and would not sit except in the last rak‘ah, where he would recite the tashahhud and then say the salam.
