بَابُ تَفْرِيعِ أَبْوَابِ الْوِتْرِ
1255 حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، مِنْ أَزْدِ شَنُوءَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثٍ لَا أَدَعُهُنَّ فِي سَفَرٍ ، وَلَا حَضَرٍ : رَكْعَتَيِ الضُّحَى ، وَصَوْمِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ، وَأَنْ لَا أَنَامَ إِلَّا عَلَى وِتْرٍ |
The Prophet (ﷺ) would pray two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer lightly so much so that I would say: Did he recite Surah al-Fatihah in them.
1256 حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ السَّكُونِيِّ ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ، قَالَ : أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثٍ لَا أَدَعُهُنَّ لِشَيْءٍ : أَوْصَانِي بِصِيَامِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ، وَلَا أَنَامُ إِلَّا عَلَى وِتْرٍ ، وَبِسُبْحَةِ الضُّحَى فِي الْحَضَرِ وَالسَّفَرِ |
The Prophet (ﷺ) would recite in both rak'ahs of the dawn prayer: Say, O unbelievers and Say: He is Allah, the one
1257 حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّيْلَحِينِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ ، قَالَ : أُوتِرُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ ، وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ : مَتَى تُوتِرُ ؟ ، قَالَ : آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَقَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : أَخَذَ هَذَا بِالْحَزْمِ ، وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ : أَخَذَ هَذَا بِالْقُوَّةِ |
Ziyadah al-Kindi reported on the authority of Bilal that he (Bilal) came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to inform him about the dawn prayer. Aisha kept Bilal engaged in a matter which she asked him till the day was bright and it became fairly light. Bilal then stood up and called him to prayer and called him repeatedly. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not yet come out. When he came out, he led the people in prayer and he (Bilal) informed him that Aisha had kept him engaged in a matter which she asked him till it became fairly light; hence he became late in reaching him (in time). He (Bilal) said: Messenger of Allah, the dawn became fairly bright. He said: If the dawn became brighter than it is now, I would pray them (the two rak'ahs of the sunnah prayer), offer them well and in a more beautiful manner.
1258 حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ : مَتَى كَانَ يُوتِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : كُلَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ فَعَلَ ، أَوْتَرَ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ ، وَوَسَطَهُ ، وَآخِرَهُ ، وَلَكِنِ انْتَهَى وِتْرُهُ حِينَ مَاتَ إِلَى السَّحَرِ |
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not omit them (the two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer) even if you are driven away by the horses.
1259 حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : بَادِرُوا الصُّبْحَ بِالْوِتْرِ |
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in both rak'ahs of the dawn prayer: Say: We believe in Allah and in the revelation given to us (3:84) . This is in the first rak'ah and in the second rak'ah (he recited): We believe in Allah and bear witness that we submit ourself (to Him). (3:52).
1260 حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ وِتْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : رُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ ، وَرُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ مِنْ آخِرِهِ ، قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ كَانَتْ قِرَاءَتُهُ ؟ أَكَانَ يُسِرُّ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ ، أَمْ يَجْهَرُ ؟ قَالَتْ : كُلَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ، رُبَّمَا أَسَرَّ ، وَرُبَّمَا جَهَرَ ، وَرُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فَنَامَ ، وَرُبَّمَا تَوَضَّأَ ، فَنَامَ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : وَقَالَ غَيْرُ قُتَيْبَةَ : تَعْنِي فِي الْجَنَابَةِ |
That he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) recite in both rak'ahs of the dawn: Say: We believe in Allah, and in the revelation given to us (3:84). This is in the first rak'ah. In the second rak'ah he recited this verse: Our Lord, we have believed in what You have sent down, and we follow the Messenger, so write us down among those who bear witness. or he recited: Surely, we have sent you with the truth as a bringer of glad tidings, and a warner. And you will not be asked about the inhabitants of the Blazing Fire (2:119). Al-Darawardi doubted (which of the verse he recited).
1261 حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : اجْعَلُوا آخِرَ صَلَاتِكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وِتْرًا |
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If any of you prays two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer, he should lie at his right side.
Marwan ibn al-Hakam said to him: Is it not enough that one of us walks to the mosque until he lies at his right side? According to the version of Ubaydullah, he (AbuHurayrah) replied: No.
This statement (of AbuHurayrah) reached Ibn Umar. He said: AbuHurayrah exceed limits on himself. He was asked: Do you look askance at what he says? He replied: No, but he dared and we showed cowardice. This (criticism of Ibn Umar) reached AbuHurayrah. He said: What is my sin if I remembered and they forgot?
