Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ali bin Muhammad] dan [Muhammad bin Ash Shabbah] keduanya berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin Ayyasy] dari [Abu Ishaq] dari [Ashim bin Dlamrah As Saluli] ia berkata, " [Ali bin Abu Thalib] berkata, "Shalat witir tidak wajib dan tidak pula seperti shalat maktubah kalian, hanya saja Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam selalu mengerjakannya, beliau mengatakan: "Wahai ahli Qur`an, hendaklah kalian shalat witir, sesungguhnya Allah menyukai shalat witir.

Imam Ibn Majah compiled the last of the six major hadith collections (Kutub al-Sittah). He travelled widely to collect hadiths — through Iraq, Basra, Syria, Egypt, and Arabia. His collection contains unique narrations not found in the other five collections, though scholars note some weaker chains.
Ibn Majah's collection was later added to the Kutub al-Sittah by Imam al-Maqdisi. It contains approximately 4,341 hadiths including narrations unique to this collection.
