456. Masrūq narrated that he asked ‘Āishah about the Witr of the Prophet ﷺ. She said: “He would perform Witr during all of the night; (either) its beginning, its middle, or its end. So when he died, his Witr ended, during the approach of As-Sahar.”[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū ‘Eisā said: Abū Ḥaṣīn’s name is ‘Uthmān bin ‘Āṣim Al-Asadi.
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Alī, Jābir, Abū Mas’ūd Al-Anṣārī, and Abū Qatādah.
Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of ‘Āishah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
This is the view chosen by some of the people of knowledge, that Al-Witr is at the end of the night.

Commentary
During the last part of night, the heart and mind are fully present for not being engaged in worldly matters, the angels of mercy descend down, Allāh ﷻ descends to the earth’s heaven to listen and respond to the pleadings and requests of the slaves; therefore if one is able to get up for the night prayer, he should perform Witr in the last part of night.
