“The Prophet ofAllah(ﷺ) said: ‘Between every two Adhans there is a prayer.’ Hesaidit three times, and on the third time he said, ‘For those whowish.’”*

“I heard Anas bin Malik say: ‘TheMu’adh-dhin would call the Adhan during the time of the MessengerofAllah (ﷺ), and one would think that it was the Iqamah becausetherewere so many people who stood and performed the two Rak’ahbefore theMaghrib.”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to praytheMaghrib, then he would come back to my house and pray two Rak’ah.”

“We came to the MessengerofAllah (ﷺ) with Banu ‘Abdul-Ashhal, and he led us in praying theMaghrib in our mosque. Then he said: ‘Pray these two Rak’ah inyourhouses.’”

“Say: O youdisbelievers!” [Al-Kafirun (109)] and “Say: He is Allah the One.”[Al-Ikhlas (112)]

“Whoeverprays six Rak’ah after the Maghrib and does not say anythingbad inbetween them, will have a reward equal to the worship of twelveyears.”

“TheProphet(ﷺ) came out to us and said: ‘Allah has increased a prayerforyou which is better for you than red camels. (It is) Witr, whichAllah has enjoined on you between the ‘Isha’ prayer and the onsetofdawn.’”

“Witr is not definite (obligatory) nor is itlike your prescribed prayers. But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayedWitr, then he said: ‘O people of the Qur’an! Perform Witr, forAllahis Witr* and He loves the odd (numbered).’”* Meaning 'one' which is the first of the odd numbers; He is unique, and there is nothinglike Him, similar or equal.

“Allah is Witr and He loves the odd (numbered), so perform Witr,Opeople of the Qur’an.” A Bedouin said: ‘What is the MessengerofAllah (ﷺ) saying?’ He said: ‘That is not for you or yourcompanions.’”

“The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ)used to perform Witr and recite: ‘Glorify the Name of your LordtheMost High.’, [Al-A’la (87)] ‘Say: O you disbelievers!”[Al-Kafirun(109)] and ‘Say: Allah is One.”. [Al-Ikhlas (112)]

“Glorify the Name of your Lord theMostHigh,” [Al-A’la (87)] “Say: O you disbelievers!” [Al-Kafirun(109)] and ‘Say: Allah is One.”. [Al-Ikhlas (112)]Another chain with similar wording.

“We asked ‘Aishahwhat the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in Witr. She said:‘He used to recite: “Glorify the Name of your Lord the MostHigh,”[Al-A’la (87)] in the first Rak’ah, ‘Say: “Odisbelievers!’” [Al-Kafirun (109)] in the second Rak’ah, and‘Say: Allah is One’ in thethird and the Mu’awwidhatain(Chapter 113, 114).’”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)usedto pray (voluntary prayers) at night two by two, and he wouldprayone Rak’ah of Witr.”

“The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: ‘Night prayers are to be offered two by two, and Witrisone Rak’ah.’ I said: ‘What do you think if I become drowsyand I wantto sleep?’ He said: ‘Put “what do you think” upthere with that star?(i.e., don’t think about it at all).’ Iraised my head and saw As-Simak.* He repeated that the Messenger ofAllah (ﷺ) said, ‘Nightprayers are to be offered two by two, andWitr is one Rak’ah, beforedawn.’”* Here, As-Simak refers to a star or stars, either Arcturus (As-Simak Ar-Ramih) or Spica,also called Alpha Virginis (As-Simak Al-A'zal).

“How should I perform Witr?” He said: “PrayWitr with one Rak’ah.” He said: “I am afraid that the peoplewill saythat I am cutting the prayer short.” He said: “TheSunnah of Allah andHis Messenger.” Meaning “This is the Sunnahof Allah and HisMessenger.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) usedtosay Taslim after every two Rak’ah, and he would perform Witr withone Rak’ah.”

“My grandfather, theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ), taught me some words to say in Qunut ofWitr: Allahumma ‘afini fiman ‘afait, wa tawallani fimantawallait,wahdini fiman hadait, wa qini sharra ma qadait, wa barikli fimaa’tait. Innaka taqdi wa la yuqda ‘alaik, innahu layudhillu manwalait. Subhanaka rabbana tabarakta wa ta’alait (OAllah, pardon mealong with those whom You have pardoned, be an allyto me along withthose whom You are an ally to, guide me along withthose whom You haveguided, protect me from the evil that You havedecreed, and bless forme that which You have bestowed. For verilyYou decree and none candecree over You. He whom You support cannever be humiliated. Glory isto You, our Lord, You are Blessed andExalted).”

“Allahumma inni a’udhu biridaka minsakhatika, wa a’udhu bimu’afatika min ‘uqubatika, wa a’udhubikaminka, la uhsi thana’an ‘alaika, Anta kama athnaita ‘alanafsika (OAllah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath, andI seekrefuge in Your forgiveness from your punishment, and I seekrefuge inYou from You. I cannot enumerate Your praise, You are asYou havepraised Yourself).”

It wasnarrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet (ﷺ) did notraise hishands in any of his supplications except when praying forrain(Istisqa’), when he raised his hands so high that the whitenessofhis armpits could be seen.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said: ‘When you call upon Allah, then do so with the palms of yourhands (upwards). Do not do so with the back of your hands (upwards).And when you finish, then wipe your face with them.’”
