1438 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اجْعَلُوا آخِرَ صَلَاتِكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وِتْرًا»

Commentary
Some scholars argue, on the basis of this Hadith, that it is not permissible to say a voluntary prayer after Witr prayer. But other scholars dispute it, and assert that it is commendable, and it is not impermissible, since the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ himself performed a two Rak’ah voluntary prayer after he had already performed Witr, according to authentic narrations.
