Chapter 14: Witr Prayer
Narrated Sa 'id bin Yasar: I was going to Mecca in the company of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar and when I apprehended the
approaching dawn, I dismounted and offered the witr prayer and then joined him. 'Abdullah bin
'Umar said, "Where have you been?" I replied, "I apprehended the approaching dawn so I dismounted
and prayed the witr prayer." 'Abdullah said, "Isn' t it sufficient for you to follow the good example of
Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ)?" I replied, "Yes, by Allah." He said, "Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray witr on the back of
the camel (while on a journey)."
