Musnad Ahmad 1215 (Book 5, Hadith 623) #34849
Praying Witr at Night

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prayed Witr at all times of the night, but eventually settled on praying it at the end of the night.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah prayed Witr at all times of the night, at the beginning, in the middle and at the end, then in the end he settled on praying Witr at the end of the night
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مِنْ كُلِّ اللَّيْلِ قَدْ أَوْتَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ وَأَوْسَطِهِ وَآخِرِهِ وَانْتَهَى وِتْرُهُ إِلَى آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Ali ibn Abi Talib states that Prophet Muhammad used to pray witr during all times of the night. This includes praying witr at the beginning, middle and end of the night. However, he eventually settled on praying witr towards the end of the night. This hadith teaches us about how important prayer is in Islam and how we should strive to make time for it in our lives no matter what time it is or how busy we are. It also shows us that even though Prophet Muhammad was a very busy man with many responsibilities, he still made sure to prioritize his prayers and make time for them every day.

The importance of prayer in Islam cannot be overstated as it is one of its five pillars and an essential part of a Muslim's life. Prayer helps us stay connected with Allah and remember Him throughout our day-to-day activities so that we can stay focused on His will instead of getting distracted by worldly matters or temptations. Furthermore, prayer helps us develop discipline in our lives as well as humility since we are humbling ourselves before Allah when we pray to Him five times a day.
