وَعَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ اَلْفَضْلِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَمَّا أَقُولُ فِي وَتْرِي فَقَالَ «مَا قَضَى اَللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِكَ وَ قَدَّرَهُ»
And from him, from Fadalah, from Aban, from Isma‘il ibn al-Fadl. He said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, about what I should say in my witr. He said: “Whatever Allah سبحانه وتعالى causes to be spoken on your tongue and has decreed.”
