Shaykh Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-Ṭūsī · Chapter on Recommended (Non-Obligatory) Prayers
وَ رَوَى سَعْدٌ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« فِي اَلْوَتْرِ إِنَّمَا كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ اَلْخَمْسَ وَ لَيْسَتِ اَلْوَتْرُ مَكْتُوبَةً إِنْ شِئْتَ صَلَّيْتَهَا وَ تَرْكُهَا قَبِيحٌ»
Sa‘d narrated from al-‘Abbas ibn Ma‘ruf from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Aban from al-Halabi. He said: Abu Abdillah (a.s) said: “With regard to witr, indeed, Allah (swt) has only made the five (obligatory prayers) obligatory, and witr is not obligatory. If you wish, you may pray it. And leaving it is unbecoming.”
