أنبأ الشَّيْخُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ الْعُمَرِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الشُّرَيْحِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْبَغَوِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، أنبأ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ يَقُولُ: أَوْتَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ، وَضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ، وَصَلَّى الضُّحَى وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ، وَصَلَّى قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ، وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ: فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا مَا نَعْرِفُ غَيْرَ الْوِتْرِ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا قَالَ: " يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ أَوْتِرُوا؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ ".
It is narrated from Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he heard Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) say: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed witr, and it is not obligatory upon you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the Duha (forenoon) prayer, and it is not obligatory upon you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered a sacrifice, and it is not obligatory upon you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed before Zuhr, and it is not obligatory upon you. Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said: These are things that are known, apart from witr. He said: "O people of the Qur'an, pray witr; Allah Almighty is Witr (One) and He loves witr."
