Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) states: A Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed me that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has granted you an additional prayer, so pray it between the Isha prayer and the morning prayer, and it is the witr." And that Companion (who informed him) was Sayyiduna Abu Basrah al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him). Abu Tamim says: Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) and I were sitting, and Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) took me by the hand and we went to Sayyiduna Abu Basrah (may Allah be pleased with him). We found him near the door of the house of Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: O Abu Basrah! Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has granted you an additional prayer, so pray it between the Isha prayer and the morning prayer: it is the witr, it is the witr"? He replied: Yes.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Basrah bin Abi Basrah al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that: I married a virgin woman and found her pregnant. At this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for the child, he will be your slave. When she has given birth, give her a hundred lashes. And she is entitled to the dowry (mahr), because you made her private part lawful for yourself."
