حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ مَتَى كَانَ يُوتِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ فَعَلَ أَوْتَرَ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَوَسَطَهُ وَآخِرَهُ وَلَكِنِ انْتَهَى وِتْرُهُ حِينَ مَاتَ إِلَى السَّحَرِ .

। মাসরূক (রহঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদা আমি ‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাঃ)-কে জিজ্ঞেস করি, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বিতর সালাত কোন সময়ে আদায় করতেন? তিনি বলেন, তিনি রাতের প্রথমভাগে, মধ্যভাগে এবং শেষভাগে- এগুলোর যে কোন সময়েই বিতর আদায় করেছেন। তবে তিনি ইন্তিকালের পূর্বে বিতর সালাত সাহারীর শেষ সময়ে আদায় করেছেন। সহীহ : বুখারী ও মুসলিম।
