حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ خَافَ أَنْ لَا يَقُومَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَلْيُوتِرْ أَوَّلَهُ وَمَنْ طَمِعَ أَنْ يَقُومَ آخِرَهُ فَلْيُوتِرْ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّ صَلَاةَ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ مَشْهُودَةٌ وَذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُو قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ مَحْضُورَةٌ
English Translation
Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin Abu Syaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hafsh] dan [Abu Mu'awiyah] dari [Al A'masy] dari [Abu Sufyan] dari [Jabir] ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Barangsiapa yang khawatir tidak bisa bangun di akhir malam, hendaklah ia melakukan witir di awal malam. Dan siapa yang berharap mampu bangun di akhir malam, hendaklah ia witir di akhir malam, karena shalat di akhir malam disaksikan (oleh para malaikat) dan hal itu adalah lebih afdlal (utama)." Abu Mu'awiyah berkata; "Mahdlurah (dihadiri oleh para malaikat)."

Imam Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj was a student of Imam al-Bukhari. He compiled Sahih Muslim selecting from approximately 300,000 hadiths, arranging his collection thematically and grouping all chains of each hadith together — making it uniquely easy to study the complete transmission history of a single narration.
Sahih Muslim took 15 years to complete. Its unique arrangement — all isnads for one hadith in one place — remains unmatched in the hadith literature.
