📖 1 min readعن جابر رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «من خاف أن لا يقوم من آخِرِ الليل فليوتر أوله، ومن طَمِعَ أن يقوم آخره فليوتر آخر الليل، فإن صلاة آخر الليل مشهودة، وذلك أفضل».
The Hadīth indicates that it is permissible for the Muslim to pray Witr at the beginning of the night, especially for the one who fears that he will not wake up at the end of the night. It also emphasizes the preference of offering Witr prayer at the end of the night because it is witnessed by the angels.
