English translation

1718. Hishâm bin 'Urwah narrated from his father, from 'Aîshah, that the Prophet ﷺ used to pray Witr with five and he did not sit except in the last (Rak'ah) of them. (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1717 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِخَمْسٍ وَلَا يَجْلِسُ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِنَّ»

Commentary

It follows from the narrations of the chapter that if five units of Witr are performed together serially, one should not sit for the Tashahhud except at the end of the fifth unit.
