Hadith 458
اُردوEn
قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: مَعْنَى مَا رُوِيَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ. قَالَ: إِنَّمَا مَعْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مَعَ الْوِتْرِ، فَنُسِبَتْ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى الْوِتْرِ، وَرَوَى فِي ذَلِكَ حَدِيثًا عَنْ عَائِشَةَ. وَاحْتَجَّ بِمَا رُوِيَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَوْتِرُوا يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ. قَالَ: إِنَّمَا عَنَى بِهِ قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ: إِنَّمَا قِيَامُ اللَّيْلِ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ الْقُرْآنِ.
Ishaq bin Ibrahim (Ibn Rahwayh) says: The narration that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to pray thirteen rak‘ahs of witr means that he used to pray thirteen rak‘ahs of tahajjud (qiyam al-layl) including witr, so in this, qiyam al-layl (tahajjud) has also been called witr. He has narrated a hadith from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) in this regard, and has also taken evidence from the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "O people of the Qur’an! Pray witr." Ibn Rahwayh says that by this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) meant qiyam al-layl, and qiyam al-layl is only obligatory upon those who believe in the Qur’an (not upon followers of other religions).
