أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« تَدْعُو فِي اَلْوَتْرِ عَلَى اَلْعَدُوِّ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ سَمَّيْتَهُمْ وَ تَسْتَغْفِرُ وَ تَرْفَعُ يَدَيْكَ فِي اَلْوَتْرِ حِيَالَ وَجْهِكَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ تَحْتَ ثَوْبِكَ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Abdullah ibn Sinan: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “In the Witr, you supplicate against the enemy, and if you wish, you may mention them by name. And you seek forgiveness, and you raise your hands in the Witr in front of your face, and if you wish, under your garment.”
