Hasten to pray Witr before morning.

He who prayed at night should make Witr the end of his prayer, for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered this.

Make Witr the end of your night prayer.

He who observed the night prayer should make Witr the end of his prayer before dawn. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to order them thus.

Witr is a rak’ah at the end of the prayer.

Prayer during the night should consist of pairs of rak’ahs, but if one of you fears morning is near, he should pray one rak’ah which will make his prayer an odd number for him.

It consists of pairs of rak’ahs, but if one fears morning is near, he should make it an odd number by praying one rak’ah.

A man stood up and said. Messenger of Allah, how is the night prayer? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The night prayer consists of pair, but if you apprehend the rise of dawn, make it odd number by observing one rak’ah.

A person asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as I stood between him (the Holy Prophet) and the inquirer and he said: Messenger of Allah, how is the night prayer? He (the Holy Prophet) said: It consists of pairs of rak’ahs, but if you apprehend morning, you should pray one rak’ah and make the end of your prayer as Witr. Then a person asked him (the Holy Prophet) at the end of the year and I was at that place near the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ; but I do not know whether he was the same person or another person, but he (the Holy Prophet) gave him the same reply.

” Then a person asked him at the end of the year,” and what follows subsequently.
