What teachings did the Prophet Muhammad (saw) give about performing the Witr prayer?
 Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:                      He who amongst you is afraid that he may not be able to get up at the end of the night should observe Witr (in the first part) and then sleep, and he who is confident of getting up and praying at night (i. e. Tahajjud prayer) should observe it at the end of it, for the recitation at the end of the night to visited (by angels), and that is excellent.
