1362. ‘Abdullāh bin Abī Qais said: “I asked ‘Āishah: ‘How many Rak’ahs would the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ perform Witr with?’ She said: ‘He would pray Witr with four and three; and with six and three; and with eight and three; and with ten and three. And he would never pray Witr with less than seven, nor with more than thirteen.’” (Ṣaḥīh) Abū Dāwūd said: Aḥmad bin Ṣāliḥ[1] added: “And he would not pray Witr with the two Rak’ahs of Fajr.” I (‘Abdullāh bin Abī Qais) said: ‘What about Witr?’ She said: ‘He would not leave that.’” And Aḥmad did not mention: “And six and three.”

1362 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: بِكَمْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوتِرُ؟ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَثَلَاثٍ، وَسِتٍّ وَثَلَاثٍ، وَثَمَانٍ وَثَلَاثٍ، وَعَشْرٍ وَثَلَاثٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُوتِرُ بِأَنْقَصَ مِنْ سَبْعٍ، وَلَا بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: زَادَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ: وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ، قُلْتُ: مَا يُوتِرُ؟ قَالَتْ: لَمْ يَكُنْ يَدَعُ ذَلِكَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحْمَدُ: وَسِتٍّ وَثَلَاثٍ
