The Book on Al-Witr
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُوتِرُ بِثَلاَثٍ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِنَّ بِتِسْعِ سُوَرٍ مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِثَلاَثِ سُوَرٍ آخِرُهُنَّْ (قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ) . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ . وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبْزَى عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَيُرْوَى أَيْضًا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . هَكَذَا رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ عَنْ أُبَىٍّ وَذَكَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ أُبَىٍّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ إِلَى هَذَا وَرَأَوْا أَنْ يُوتِرَ الرَّجُلُ بِثَلاَثٍ . قَالَ سُفْيَانُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَوْتَرْتَ بِخَمْسٍ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَوْتَرْتَ بِثَلاَثٍ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَوْتَرْتَ بِرَكْعَةٍ . قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَالَّذِي أَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ أُوتِرَ بِثَلاَثِ رَكَعَاتٍ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَأَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ . حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ كَانُوا يُوتِرُونَ بِخَمْسٍ وَبِثَلاَثٍ وَبِرَكْعَةٍ وَيَرَوْنَ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ حَسَنًا .
