The Virtues of Witr at the End of the Night

Understanding Virtue through the Prophetic Teachings (Lesson Twenty-six): In this lecture, Shaykh Faraz discusses the virtues of Witr at the End of the Night. Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever fears not being able to pray at the end of the night should perform Witr at the beginning of the night. But whoever is avid to pray at the end of the night should perform Witr then, for prayer at the end of the night is witnessed--and this is more virtuous.” [Muslim (755), Tirmidhi (455)]
