Text and translation

English translation

613. It was narrated from Ibrâhîm bin Muḥammad bin Al-Muntashir that his father was in the Masjid of 'Amr bin Shuraḥbîl and the Iqâmah for prayer was said, so they were waiting for him. He said: "I was praying Witr, and 'Abdullâh was asked: 'Is there any Witr after the Adhân?' He said: "Yes, and after the Iqâmah, and he narrated that the Prophet ﷺ slept and missed the prayer until the sun rose then prayed." And the wording is that of Yahya. (Sahîh)

Arabic text

612 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي مَسْجِدِ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَجُعِلُوا يُنْتَظَرُونَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُوتِرُ. قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ الْأَذَانِ وِتْرٌ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ. وَبَعْدَ الْإِقَامَةِ»، وَحَدَّثَ «عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ» نَامَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى " وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى

Commentary

This proves that a missed Witr - the odd-numbered prayer - may be made up until the performance of the Fajr prayer. But this cannot be used as an argument to prove Witr's compuloriness, because it is permitted to delay the performance of any recommended or emphasized act of worship; for instance, the Prophet ﷺ made up the stressed Sunnah prayer of Zuhr after the Asr prayer, and offered the Fajr Sunnah prayer after the sunrise. It is reported by Hâkim that one who is not able to perform the Fajr Sunnah prayer until after sunrise may perform it afterward. It is apparent that the Sunnah prayers of the Fajr and the Zuhr are not compulsory; they are recommended or stressed, for sure. Likewise, Witr may be offered until the Fajr prayer.
