Introduction
Hakika, sifa njema zote na shukrani zote ni za Allah. Tunamsifu, tunamtafuta msaada wake na msamaha wake. Tunajikinga kwake na maovu ya nafsi zetu na matendo yetu mabaya. Yule ambaye Allah anamwongoza, hakuna wa kumpoteza; na yule ambaye Allah amempoteza, hakuna mwongozi wa kumwongoza. Ninashuhudia kwamba hakuna mwenye haki ya kuabudiwa isipokuwa Allah peke yake, asiye na mshirika, na ninashuhudia kwamba Muhammad ni mja wake na Mjumbe wake ﷺ. Amani na baraka za Allah ziwe juu yake, juu ya jamaa zake, masahaba zake, na wale wanaowafuata kwa wema mpaka Siku ya Hukumu.
Indeed, all praise and thanks are due to Allaah. We praise Him; seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek protection from Him from the evils of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomever Allaah guides, no one can misguide him, and whomever He sends astray, there is no other guide for him. I testify that nothing has any right to be worshipped except Allaah alone, having no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger-may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him, his family, companions and those who follow them in goodness until the Day of Judgment.

Hii ni maelezo mafupi ya Du'aa, au dua, inayosomwa wakati wa Sala ya Witr. Maelezo haya yalitolewa na Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen, Allah amrehemu, wakati wa mihadhara yake aliyokuwa akitoa katika msikiti mkuu wa Makka (al-Masjid al-Haraam) wakati wa mwezi uliobarikiwa wa Ramadhani.
This is a concise explanation of the Du’aa, or supplication that is said during the Witr prayer.2 This explanation was given by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy on him, during his lectures which he used to present in the central mosque in Mecca (al-Masjid al-Haraam) during the blessed month of Ramadhaan.
Shukrani zinatolewa kwa Ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih bin Muhammad al-Harbee, Mwenyezi Mungu amlipe kheri kwa kupitia kitabu hiki pamoja na Mheshimiwa Shaykh, mwandishi, Mwenyezi Mungu amrehemu, pamoja na kusimamia chapisho lake la kwanza mwaka 1417 Hijria, Mwenyezi Mungu amlipe kheri kwa hilo.
Thanks is given to ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih bin Muhammad al-Harbee may Allaah reward him with good for reviewing it over with his eminence, the Shaykh, the author-may Allaah have mercy upon him-as well as his looking after its first printed publication in the year 1417-may Allaah reward him for this.
Kwa ajili ya kueneza manufaa ya maelezo haya rahisi, na baada ya kulinganisha nakala iliyoandikwa iliyokaguliwa na kutegemewa na Mheshimiwa Shaykh, mwandishi, Allaah amrehemu, kisha ikawezeshwa kwa Lajnah ‘Ilmiyyah (Kamati ya Utafiti wa Kielimu) kuunganisha kwa uwazi risala hii na kurejesha uchapishaji wake pamoja na fatwa iliyotolewa na Mheshimiwa Shaykh, Allaah amrehemu, kuhusu maswali mawili yanayohusiana na mada hiyo.
For the sake of spreading benefit of this simple explanation, and after comparing the written copy that was reviewed and relied upon by his eminence, the Shaykh, the authormay Allaah have mercy upon him, then facilitated for the Lajnah ‘Ilmiyyah (The Committee of Scholarly Research) to combine distinctly this treatise and reinstate it’s publication with a fatwa given by his eminence-may Allaah have mercy upon himconcerning two questions related to the topic.
Tunamuomba Allah Mtukufu aifanye kazi hii iwe kwa ajili ya Uso Wake Mtukufu peke yake, iwe ni manufaa kwa waja Wake, na amlipe malipo bora Shaykh wetu mtukufu, Mwandishi, pamoja na Uislamu na Waislamu, na amfanye aishi katika Pepo Yake pana. Hakika Yeye ni Msikivu, Karibu. Sifa zote ni za Allah, Mola wa viumbe vyote, na rehema, amani na baraka ziwe juu ya Mtume wetu Muhammad ﷺ, pamoja na jamaa zake na masahaba wake wote.
We ask Allaah Most High to place this action purely for His Noble Face, as a benefit to His servants, and that He reward his eminence, Our Shaykh, the Author in addition to Islaam and the Muslims, with the best of rewards, and that He place him to dwell in His spacious paradise, Verily He is All Hearing, All Near. All praise is to Allaah, Lord of all the worlds, and may the salutations, peace, and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad as well as his family and all of his companions.

2 Swala ya Witr au ya "Witiri" ni swala ya mwisho ambayo mtu anaweza kuswali usiku, kabla ya Swala ya Alfajiri, ikiwa na idadi isiyo ya kawaida ya Raka'a, yaani vitengo vya swala. Mtume ﷺ alikuwa wakati mwingine akisema Du'aa ya Qunoot akiwa amesimama wakati wa Swala ya Witr. Alikuwa akiinua mikono yake wakati wa kuomba, na wakati mwingine alifanya hivyo kabla ya kurukuu au baada ya kurukuu.
2 The Witr or “Odd” prayer is the last prayer one may pray at night, before the Morning Prayer, consisting of an odd number of Raka’hs, or units of prayer. The Prophet () used to say the Du’aa of Qunoot sometimes while standing during the Witr prayer. He would raise his hands while supplicating and would sometimes do it before bowing or after bowing.
