وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَتْ تَقُولُ مَنْ خَشِيَ أَنْ يَنَامَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ فَلْيُوتِرْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَمَنْ رَجَا أَنْ يَسْتَيْقِظَ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ فَلْيُؤَخِّرْ وِتْرَهُ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say, "If someone fears that he will sleep through till the morning, let him pray the witr before he sleeps, and if some one hopes to wake for the last part of the night, let him delay his witrAicha, la femme du Prophète (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) a dit: «celui qui craint de ne plus se lever la nuit pour prier, jusqu'au matin, qu'il fasse une raka't impaire avant de se coucher. Quant à celui qui sera assuré de se réveiller la nuit, qu'il ne fasse cette raka't impaire qu'à la fin de la nuit»Grades given by scholars
