No.my brother They are not giving u full details About the hadith Don’t pray witr as three, pray it as five or seven and don’t make it look like the maghrib prayer”. This hadith is narrated by al-Daraqutni, Al-Hakim and al-Bayhaqi The above hadith (and those of the similar narrations) do not mean that praying witr as three rak’ah is forbidden period. How can it be? Praying witr as three rak’ah has been narrated with authentic chains from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) as statement ( qawlan ) and as practice (fi’lan ) The meaning of the above hadith is that one should not pray witr alone [three rak’ah] without praying either 2, 4 or more optional rak’as before it. Al-Qastalani said “It is better to pray with one tashahhud than praying it with two tashahhuds”. I [al-Othmanil would say that this interpretation is extremely absurd unsupported by any evidence ( haeed ghayat al-bu’d). This wouldn’t occur to anyone rather it is a clear mistake. This is because his statement “Don’t pray witr as three, pray it as five, seven or nine” clearly talks about the number of ralcahs. There is no evidence in this hadith to the number of tahsahhud whatsoever neither implicitly nor explicitly. The meaning is. as we said, that it is disliked to pray witr alone without praying an optional prayer before. Those who say that one can pray witr as a single rak’ah cannot use the above hadith against those who say that witr is three rak’ah since there is no mention of witr as a single rak’ah in this hadith. Rather, the apparent meaning of this hadith is that, after forbidding witr as three rak’ah, it orders witr as five, seven or more. Those who deny the permissibility of witr as three rak’ah must then say based on this hadith that one must pray witr five rak’ah or more but no one [worth the name] says that.” I’ila al-Sunan (Al-Othmani, 6/36

[@arrow760]

Salaam Brother, most of our Hanafi brothers pray Witr with one tashaahud after the first two rakat. One of the hadith that this is based on, and I would like you to clear up inshAllah: When describing the Prophet’s prayer, ‘A’ishah said as narrated in Sahih Muslim: وكان يقول في كل ركعتين التحية “And he would say tahiyyah (i.e. tashahhud) in every two rak‘ahs.” (Fath al-Mulhim, 3:484-5) The word kull is for generality, indicating there were no exceptions to this practice of sitting upon every two rak‘ahs to say tashahhud. Our Hanafi brothers take literally that the prophet did tashahud after every two rakat. Also, here is the hadith that Hanafi follow that shows they is only one salam in witr. Al-Nasa’i, Muhammad, al-Tahawi and Ibn Abi Shaybah (Musannaf, no. 6912) transmitted with the same chain (Sa‘id ibn Abi ‘Arubah from Qatadah from Zurarah ibn Abi Awfa from Sa‘d ibn Hisham) that ‘A’ishah said: كان نبي هللا صلى هللا عليه وسلم ال يسلم في ركعتي الوتر “The Prophet of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) would not say salam in the tworak‘ahs of Witr.” Al-Nawawi said of this hadith: “Al-Nasa’i narrated it with a hasan chain, and al-Bayhaqi narrated it in al-Sunan al-Kubra with a sahih chain.” (Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, 3:513) Al-Hakim also narrated it and said it is authentic according to criteria of al-Bukhari and Muslim and al-Dhahabi agreed. Here is a pdf of all hadith supporting the Hanafi method of Witr: ifnonline.com/resources/Ramadan/Hanafi%20witr.pdf

@@shan01 how do you perform witr? . Hanafi were taught to do three rakah of witr. Do Tashahud in second then get up without Salaam and do qunoot in the third and then do closing tashahud with Salaam in the third. This is incorrect as it replicates the Maghrib Salaah . As Aisha RA explicitly mentioned that Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wasallam never read 3 witr like Maghrib. Which is what the hanafis do. The deobandis more so. Tge barelwi same. The last hadith from muwatta is a general hadith. Nothing to do with HOW witr should be performed. The fact that Aisha radiulahu anha was the wife who shared the nights with Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wasallam more than any other Sahaba is concrete authentic proof of HOW it should be performed. Alhamdullilah I am free from blind following a madhab. In any case the deobandi are not really following imam Abu hanifa. They just blind follow their sufi naqshabandi scholars. Don't use Abu hanifa rhm name to support innovation.

What is Qunut?

[@arrow760]

It is the dua that we read in the witr prayer in the third rakah. اَللَّهُمَّ إنا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَنُثْنِئْ عَلَيْكَ الخَيْرَ وَنَشْكُرُكَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ وَنَخْلَعُ وَنَتْرُكُ مَنْ ئَّفْجُرُكَ اَللَّهُمَّ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَلَكَ نُصَلِّئ وَنَسْجُدُ وَإِلَيْكَ نَسْعأئ وَنَحْفِدُ وَنَرْجُو رَحْمَتَكَ وَنَخْشآئ عَذَابَكَ إِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالكُفَّارِ مُلْحَقٌ Allahumma inna nasta-eenoka wa nastaghfiruka wa nu’minu bika wa natawakkalu alaika wa nusni alaikal khair, wa nashkuruka wala nakfuruka wa nakhla-oo wa natruku mai yafjuruka, Allah humma iyyaka na’budu wa laka nusalli wa nasjud wa ilaika nas aaa wa nahfizu wa narju rahma taka wa nakhshaa azaabaka inna azaabaka bil kuffari mulhik Meaning: O Allah! We invoke you for help, and beg for forgiveness, and we believe in you and have trust in you and we praise you, in the best way we can; and we thank you and we are not ungrateful to you, and we forsake and turn away from the one who disobeys you. O Allah! We worship you and prostrate ourselves before you, and we hasten towards you and serve you, and we hope to receive your mercy and we dread your torment. Surely, the disbelievers shall incur your torment.

As hanafi we read the dua e qunoot in the last rakaah. So it's not the same as Maghrib. Edit: 2 years later. I have changed my stance. I was told that I should blind follow a madhab and stick to it till one dies. We weren't taught hadith of Aisha RA or that qunoot could be read during any Salaah at times of calamity as Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wasallam did do. Alhamdulillah I am seeking knowledge of my Deen the older I get.

[@Thegeniusmonkey]

Yeah I dont know why people hate on it so much

[@rathernot6660]

​​@@Thegeniusmonkeyit's not the most correct way. Aisha RA mentioned in a hadith that witr should not be prayed like Maghrib. You see the qunoot can be read during any Salaah s Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wasallam used to read it during every Salaah during a calamity until he received revelation from Allah to stop. I have since stopped following the hanafi method of witr after learning about this hadith. Allah knows best.

[@Thegeniusmonkey]

@@rathernot6660 Look bro the hanafi method has existed for 1000s of yrs. it wouldve been stopped or suppressed like any heresy but its now the majority. To me this is another way and a valid way to pray it. Other methods do too. Also which method do you follow now? Shafii?

[@rathernot6660]

@@Thegeniusmonkey hanbali. It is closest to Qur'an and Sunnah. Islam is not a democracy. A majority doing it does not make it correct. As an example, what if we were living in a period were the shia were a majority. Does that mean their aqeedah or their hate for Umar or Aisha RA justified? So your concept of majority is not correct. With regard to the hanafi method being 1000 of years old. Did imam abu hanifas rahimahullah father follow the hanafi ie his sons madhab even though he was not conceived yet. Do I make sense
