سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَقُومُ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ وَ هُوَ يَخْشَى أَنْ يَفْجَأَهُ الصُّبْحُ أَ يَبْدَأُ بِالْوَتْرِ أَوْ يُصَلِّي الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْوَتْرُ آخِرَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ بَلْ يَبْدَأُ بِالْوَتْرِ وَ قَالَ أَنَا كُنْتُ فَاعِلًا ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Al-Qasim Bin Yazeed, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who stands (for the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>) at the end of the night and he is fearing if the morning comes up suddenly, should he begin with Al-<span class="iTxt">Witr</span>, or pray the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> upon its aspects until <span class="iTxt">Al-Witr </span>happens to be at the end of that?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But, he should begin with <span class="iTxt">Al-Witr</span>’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> was doing that’.
