It was narrated from Zurarah Bin Awuf a: When Saad Bin Hisham Bin Amir came to visit us; he told us that he came to Ibn Abbas and asked him about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Shall I not tell you of the most knowledgeable person on Earth about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? I said: Who? He said: Aishah. So we went to her and greeted her with Salam and entered and asked her. I said: Tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: We used to prepare for him his siwak and water for Ablution; then Allah SWT would wake him when He willed to wake him at night. He would clean his teeth and perform Ablution; then he would pray nine rakahs; during which he would not sit until the eighth. Then he would praise Allah SWT and remember Him and supplicate; then he would get up and not say the taslim. Then he would pray the ninth; then sit and praise Allah SWT and remember Him and supplicate; then he would say a taslim that we could hear. Then he prayed two rakahs sitting; and that was eleven rakahs; O my son. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew older and put on weight; he prayed witr with seven; then he prayed two rakahs sitting after saying the taslim; and that was nine; O my son. And when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered a prayer; he liked to persist in offering it.
