Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَقُومُ وَ أَنَا أَتَخَوَّفُ اَلْفَجْرَ قَالَ« فَأَوْتِرْ» قُلْتُ فَأَنْظُرُ وَ إِذَا عَلَيَّ لَيْلٌ قَالَ« فَصَلِّ صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn Abdul-Aziz, who said:
I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “I rise while I fear that dawn may have arrived.” Imam عليه السلام said: "Then perform the Witr." I asked: “Then I look and find that it is still night upon me.” Imam عليه السلام said: "Then perform the night prayer."
