The witr prayer was not reported at Muzdalifah; does this constitute evidence that it was not performed?

The questioner : The statement that the witr prayer was not reported—O Shaykh—at Muzdalifah; does this constitute evidence that it was not performed? Given that it is well known that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave it out of his prayer?

The Shaykh : Yes, it appears that this is a specific journey, and it does not fall under the general rule I mentioned earlier. For the narrator, without a doubt, we believe that he reported the event in its entirety. If he had seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pray anything after the obligatory prayer, he would have reported it. Therefore, it is not correct to say that the lack of a report is not considered evidence; for that would imply, even if only from a distance, that the narrator did not accurately convey the event. We all know that they reported things that were not necessary to report, such as setting up the camp. What is the value of mentioning the setting up of the camp compared to the value of mentioning whether the Messenger (peace be upon him) prayed the witr after the 'Isha' prayer? There is nothing, and no proportion between the two. However, their reporting of the story with such precision, including their mention of setting up the camp, and their failure to mention that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the witr prayer, which was his habit to pray whether traveling or resident; this is not due to negligence, but rather because it did not occur. If it had occurred, it would have been reported.
Yes.
