452. Khārijah bin Ḥudhāfah narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came out to us and he said: 'Indeed Allāh has assisted you with a Ṣalāt that is better for you than red camels: Al-Witr which Allāh made for you between the 'Ishā' prayer till Al-Fajr has begun.'" (Da'if)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, Buraidah, and Abū Baṣrah [Al-Ghifārī] the Companion of the Prophet ﷺ.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Khārijah bin Ḥudhāfah is a Gharīb Ḥadīth, we do not know of it except from the narration of Yazīd bin Abī Ḥabīb. One of the Muḥad-dithīn (narrators of Aḥādīth) made a mistake regarding this Ḥadīth. He said: [From] 'Abdullāh bin Rāshīd Az-Zurqī and this is wrong. [And Abū Baṣrah Al-Ghifārī's name is Ḥumail bin Baṣrah, and some of them call him Jamīl bin Baṣrah that is not correct. Abū Baṣrah Al-Ghifārī is another man who reports from Abū Dharr, and he is a nephew of Abū Dharr.]

Commentary
Amaddah means to increase, to send reinforcement and to help. The voluntary prayer is a reinforcement and help for the obligatory prayer, and it makes up for any deficiency in the obligatory prayer.
