أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دَرَسْتَوَيْهِ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، ثنا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: " الْوِتْرُ حَقٌّ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُوتِرَ بِخَمْسٍ فَلْيَفْعَلْ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُوتِرَ بِثَلَاثٍ فَلْيَفْعَلْ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُوتِرَ بِوَاحِدَةٍ فَلْيَفْعَلْ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَلْيُومِئْ إِيمَاءً ". وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ مَوْقُوفًا عَلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ مَوْقُوفًا عَلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ. وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرَوَيْهِ، ⦗٣٦⦘ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَحْيَى يَقُولُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ بِرِوَايَةِ يُونُسَ، وَالزُّبَيْدِيِّ، وَابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَشُعَيْبٍ، وَابْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ أَشْبَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ غَيْرَ مَرْفُوعٍ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَتَخَالَجُ فِي النَّفْسِ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ الْبَاقِينَ مَعَ رِوَايَةِ وُهَيْبٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ. وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمُ التَّطَوُّعَ أَوِ الْوِتْرَ بِرَكْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ مَفْصُولَةٍ عَمَّا قَبْلَهَا مِنْهُمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
It is narrated from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Witr is a duty. Whoever likes to pray five rak'ahs of witr, let him do so; whoever likes to pray three rak'ahs of witr, let him do so; whoever likes to pray one rak'ah of witr, let him do so; and whoever is not able even to do that should perform it by gestures."
(b) A group of the Companions held that the voluntary prayer or witr may be offered as a single separate rak'ah, and among them is Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).
Hammad bin Zayd and Abd al-Razzaq narrated it from Ma'mar as a statement of Abu Ayyub (mawquf), and likewise a group narrated it from al-Zuhri as a statement of Abu Ayyub. Muhammad bin Yahya said: This hadith, in the narration of Yunus, al-Zubaydi, Ibn Uyaynah, Shu'ayb, Ibn Abi Ishaq and Abd al-Razzaq from Ma'mar, is more likely not to be marfu' (attributed to the Prophet), and there is doubt in the mind about the narration of the others along with the narration of Wuhayb from Ma'mar. And Allah knows best.
