Sayyiduna Kharijah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said:“Allah Almighty has granted you an additional prayer, which is better for you than red camels. It is the Witr prayer. Allah Almighty has fixed its time from after the ‘Isha prayer until the break of dawn.”

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, and happiness and delight were apparent on his blessed face. Then he (peace be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has granted you an additional prayer, and it is the Witr prayer." The narrator of this narration, Abu ‘Umar Nadr Khazzaz, is weak.

Amr bin Shu'aib narrates from his father, from his grandfather: A long period passed in which we did not perform any prayer except the five obligatory prayers. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) commanded us, so we gathered together. After praising and glorifying Allah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah the Exalted has granted you another prayer." Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) encouraged us to perform Witr. The narrator of this narration (i.e., Ubaidullah), Muhammad bin Ubaidullah, is extremely weak.
