Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يُصَ
لِّي فِي اللَّيْلِ وَيُوتِرُ رَاكِبًا عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ لَا يُبَالِي حَيْثُ وَجَّهَهُ قَالَ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَنَا سَالِمًا يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْثُرُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Isnad Chain
English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via 'Affan, from Wuhayb, from Musa ibn 'Uqba, from Salim — that 'Abdullah used to pray [voluntarily] at night and perform Witr on his camel, whichever direction it faced, not caring [about the direction]. [Musa] said: 'And I myself saw Salim doing the same.' And Nafi' informed him, from 'Abdullah, that he had traced this practice back to the Prophet ﷺ.
