Chapter on the Merit of Prayer, and What is Obligatory and Recommended from It
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلْوَتْرِ فَقَالَ« سُنَّةٌ لَيْسَتْ بِفَرِيضَةٍ»
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamid from Abu Jamilah from Abu Usamah:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام was asked about the witr prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: “It is a Sunnah, not an obligation (faridah).”
