1676. It was narrated that 'Alî, may Allâh be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed Witr, then he said: 'O people of the Qur'ân, pray Witr, for Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, is Witr (One) and loves Al-Witr (the odd numbered).'" (Da'if)
1675 - أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَوْتَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ، أَوْتِرُوا، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ»

1. Al-Witr; the Arabic term denotes an odd number, which cannot be divided by two. In the terminology of Islamic law, it is used for the night prayer, because there is a command concerning it that it be offered odd-numbered collectively. 2. The night prayer is not obligatory; it is rather optional. Therefore, the Witr or the odd-numbered prayer is neither obligatory nor compulsory. It is an insisted or stressed optional prayer.
