The Book of Virtues
Witr Prayer, its Time and Ruling
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يصلي بِاللَّيْلِ، وَهِيَ مُعْتَرِضَةٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَإِذَا بَقِيَ الْوِتْرُ، أَيْقَظَهَا فَأَوْتَرَتْ. ((رَوَاهُ مُسلم)). وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لَهُ: فإذا بقي الوتر قَالَ: قُومِي فَأَوْتِرِي يَا عَائِشَةُ
'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to perform his voluntary prayer at night (i.e., Tahajjud prayer) while she was sleeping in front of him; and when the Witr prayer was yet to be observed, he would awaken her to perform her Witr prayer. [Muslim].
