12. It is a narration from him (narrator of previous Hadith) by his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far , has said, ‘If there, upon you, is Qada’ (compensatory prayer for) two al-Witr or more, perform them as they were missed with an interval of a Salah (prayer) between each two al-Witr. It is because al-Witr is the last. You cannot perform something before its beginning. The first is what commences first, when you perform Qada’ (compensatory prayer for) Salah (prayer) of the current night then is al-Witr.’ He (the narrator) has said that abu Ja‘far , said, ‘Two al-Witr cannot be performed in one night except that one is a Qada’ (compensatory prayer for) what is missed.’ Abu Ja‘far , said, ‘If you perform al-Witr in the beginning of night and get up in the end of the night, then your first al-Witr is a Qada’ (compensatory prayer for) what is missed. All Salah (prayer) that you perform in a given night must be intended to be Qada’ (compensatory prayer for) what is missed. The last Salah (prayer) in a given night is Salah (prayer) for that night and not a Qada’ (compensatory prayer for) what is missed. In the same way the last al-Witr that you perform in a given night is al-Witr for that night and not a Qada’ (compensatory prayer for) what is missed.’”
