حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَتَكِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏" ‏ الْوِتْرُ حَقٌّ فَمَنْ لَمْ يُوتِرْ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا الْوِتْرُ حَقٌّ فَمَنْ لَمْ يُوتِرْ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا الْوِتْرُ حَقٌّ فَمَنْ لَمْ يُوتِرْ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us: Abu Ishaq al-Talquni narrated to us: al-Fadl ibn Musa narrated to us, from Ubayd Allah ibn Abd Allah al-Ataki, from Abd Allah ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Witr is an obligation. Whoever does not pray witr is not one of us. Witr is an obligation. Whoever does not pray witr is not one of us. Witr is an obligation. Whoever does not pray witr is not one of us.
