1186 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: «مِنْ كُلِّ اللَّيْلِ قَدْ أَوْتَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ وَأَوْسَطِهِ، وَانْتَهَى وِتْرُهُ إِلَى السَّحَرِ»

Commentary
‘Witr being just before dawn’ means that he ﷺ performed Witr at the last end of the night, so much so that, by the time he finished the Witr, it was already time for the Adhân. His praying Witr almost before the ‘Adhân of Fajr’ confirms the fact that this is the final prescribed hour for performing Witr.
