Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! How many rak‘ahs of Witr should I perform?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "One." I said, "O Prophet of Allah! I have the strength for more than that." So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then three." Then he said, "Five." Then he said, "Seven." Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I wish I had accepted the concession granted by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that time.
