حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَنْدَلٍ، وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، جَمِيعًا - فِي سَنَةِ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ - قَالا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: أَلا إِنَّ الْوَتْرَ لَيْسَ بِحَتْمٍ كَصَلاتِكُمِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ، وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْتَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَوْتِرُوا يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ، أَوْتِرُوا فَإِنَّ اللهَ وَتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوَتْرَ " وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَنْدَلٍ وَمَعْنَاهُمَا وَاحِدٌ (٣)، ،

It was narrated that `Asim bin Damrah as-Salooli said:
‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: Verily, Witr is not a must like your prescribed prayers, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Witr, then he said: “Pray Witr, O people of the Qur`an. Pray Witr, for Allah is One and loves that which is odd numbered.”
