In general, if we read some Islamic literature about Witr prayer, we will find an explanation that there are many benefits of Witr prayer. Of course, in this article, I will not explain all the benefits of the Witr prayer. In this article, I will only explain five of its benefits.
In the explanation of the five benefits of the Witr prayer, I will quote five hadiths about all of them. As for the five benefits of the Witr prayer and the five hadiths about all of them, what I mean is as follows:
The Witr Prayer Is More Precious than the Most Valuable Treasure
The first benefit of Witr prayer is that the Witr prayer is more precious than the most valuable treasure. The point is that the Witr prayer is very noble in Islam. People who do it will get a lot of rewards.
We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ الله أمَدَّكُمْ بِصَلاَةٍ هِيَ خَيرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ، قُلْنَا : وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ الله؟ قالَ : الوِتْرُ مَا بَيْنَ صَلاَةِ العِشَاءِ إِلى طُلُوعِ الفَجْرِ
From Kharijah bin Hudzafah radliyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, "Verily Allah has advised you to pray that is better for you than the most valuable treasure." We said, "What is that, O Messenger of Allah?". He said, "The Witr performed between the Isha prayer until dawn."
In the hadith there is a very specific explanation that the Witr prayer is more important than the most valuable treasure. As Muslims, we must understand that.
The Witr Prayer Is One of the Most Important Sunnah Prayers
The second benefit of the Witr prayer is that the Witr prayer is one of the most important Sunnah prayers. Specifically, the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam instructed Abu Huraira that he should perform the Witr prayer before he sleeps.
We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَوْصَانِيْ خَلِيْلِيْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثٍ : صِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْ الضُّحىَ ، وَأَنْ أُوْتِرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنَامَ
From Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu, he said, "My beloved (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has instructed me three things: fasting three days every month, two rakats in Duha prayer, and praying Witr before I go to sleep."
In the hadith there is a very specific explanation that the Witr prayer is one of the most important Sunnah prayers. As Muslims, we must understand that.
Allah Loves Those Who Perform the Witr Prayer
The third benefit of the Witr prayer is that Allah loves those who perform the Witr prayer. That's why people who perform the Witr prayer will get a lot of rewards.
We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ ؛ قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؛ أَوْتِرُوْا يَا أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ . رَوَاهُ الْخَمْسَةٌ
From Ali radliyallahu anhu, he said, "Allah's Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Pray Witr, O Ahul Quran! Indeed, Allah is one and likes the Witr prayer." The hadith is narrated by five people (Ahmad, Abu Daud, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah).
In the hadith there is a very specific explanation that Allah loves the Witr prayer and the people who do it. As Muslims, we must understand that.
The Witr Prayer Is a Completion of the Night Prayer
The fourth benefit of the Witr prayer is that the Witr prayer is a completion of the night prayer. The point is that Muslims who perform the Tahajjud prayer are strongly encouraged to perform the Witr prayer to complete the Tahajjud prayer.
We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
اِجْعَلُوْا آخِرَ صَلاَتِكُم ْباِللّيْلِ وِتْرًا
Make the end of your prayer at night with Witr prayer.
In the hadith there is a very specific explanation that the Witr prayer is a prayer that can complete the Tahajjud prayer. As Muslims, we must understand that.
Witr Prayer Witnessed by the Angels
The fifth benefit of Witr prayer is that the Witr prayer is witnessed by the Angels. This explains that the Witr prayer is a very noble prayer and the person who does it is a very noble person.
We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : قَالَ 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 أَفْضَلُ
From Jabir, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, "Whoever is afraid of not being able to wake up at the end of the night, let him pray the Witr prayer at the beginning of the night. And whoever hopes to wake up at the end of the night, let him perform the Witr prayer at the end of the night, because the prayer at the end of the night is witnessed (by the angels) and that is more important.”
In the hadith there is a very specific explanation that the Witr prayer is witnessed by the Angels. As Muslims, we must understand that.
