(Book 7, Hadith 28) #35337
Delaying Witr Prayer Until After Dawn

SUMMARY: It is not recommended to intentionally delay the witr prayer until after dawn.

Malik related to me that Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim heard his father al-Qasim ibn Muhammad say, "I have prayed witr after dawn". Malik said, "Only a person who oversleeps so that he does not do the witr prays it after dawn. No one should intentionally make his witr after dawn".
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، يَقُولُ إِنِّي لأُوتِرُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَإِنَّمَا يُوتِرُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ مَنْ نَامَ عَنِ الْوِتْرِ وَلاَ يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَتَعَمَّدَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَضَعَ وِتْرَهُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of performing the witr prayer before dawn. The narrator, Malik, relates that Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim heard his father al-Qasim ibn Muhammad say that he had prayed witr after dawn. Malik then states that only a person who oversleeps should pray it after dawn and no one should intentionally make their witr after dawn. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our prayers and try to perform them on time as much as possible. We should also be aware of our sleeping patterns so we do not miss any prayers due to oversleeping or other reasons.
