Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 1755
This Hadith is short, but it still belongs to the topic “Witr prayer recitation.” It says that Sa’eed bin Abdur-Rahman bin Abza narrated that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to recite in Witr, and the narrator quoted the same hadith. Since the wording points back to the same report, the explanation should not add new details beyond what the text allows. The linked meaning is that the Prophet’s Witr included a known recitation pattern reported in the surrounding narrations. The Hadith also reminds readers that some narrations summarize by referring to a previously stated report instead of repeating every word again.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration reports that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) recited in Witr.
- The wording refers to the same hadith already mentioned.
- The text is brief and should be understood within its reported wording.
