وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلْوَتْرُ ثَلاَثُ رَكَعَاتٍ إِلَى زَوَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ فَإِذَا زَالَتْ فَأَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ»
And from him, from al-Hasan, from Fadalah, from Husayn ibn Uthman, from Sama’ah, from Abu Basir:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: "‘Witr’ is (prayed as) three rak’ahs until the sun passes its zenith (zawal), but once it has passed, then it is (prayed as) four rak’ahs."
