حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَرْفَعُهُ إِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجْمِرْ وِتْرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ
English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj — traced to the Prophet ﷺ: 'When one of you uses [stones for] istijmar [cleaning after relieving oneself], let him use an odd number — for Allah is Witr [Odd, unique] and He loves the odd number.'
