Sahih

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّيْلَحِينِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: مَتَى تُوتِرُ ، قَالَ: أُوتِرُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ، وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ: مَتَى تُوتِرُ ، قَالَ: آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: أَخَذَ هَذَا بِالْحَزْمِ ، وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ: أَخَذَ هَذَا بِالْقُوَّةِ .

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ : When do you observe the witr? He replied: I observe the witr prayer in the early hours of the night. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked Umar رضی اللہ عنہ : When do you observe the witr? He replied: At the end of the night. He then said to Abu Bakr: This has followed it with care; and he said to Umar: He has followed it with strength.
