Home Hadith Hadith 34011
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 witr."
Muwatta Malik Book 7, Hadith 18

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man asked
Abdullah ibn Umar whether the witr was obligatory and Abdullah ibn
Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, prayed witr, and the muslims prayed witr." The man began
repeating his question, and Abdullah ibn Umar kept saying, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed
witr, and the muslims prayed witr."

Yahya related to me from Malik that Nafi said, "I was with
Abdullah ibn Umar in Makka. The sky was clouded over and Abdullah
feared that dawn was approaching so he prayed one raka for witr. Then
the clouds cleared and he saw that it was still night, so he made his
prayers even with one raka. Then he continued to pray two rakas at a
time, until when he feared the approach of dawn, he prayed one raka
for witr."
