وَعَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -يَقُولُ: { هِيَ مَا بَيْنَ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ اَلْإِمَامُ إِلَى أَنْ تُقْضَى اَلصَّلَاةُ } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ, وَرَجَّحَ اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ أَنَّهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ. 1.
1 - ضعيف مرفوعا. والصحيح أنه موقوف. رواه مسلم (853)، وانظر "الجمعة وفضلها" لأبي بكر المروزي (رقم 10 بتحقيقي).
Translation
Narrated Jabir (RA)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If anyone is afraid that he may not get up in the latter part of the night, he should offer Witr in the first part of it; and if anyone expects to get up in the last part of it, he should offer Witr at the end of the night, for prayer at the end of the night is witnessed (by the angels) and that is preferable."[Reported by Muslim].
