ANSWER:

Witr is wajib only upon the prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam. We don’t have any reference to when it was mandated upon him. 

QUESTION: The 5 fard prayers were made fard by Allah in the incident of al-Isra wal-Miraj. And the sunnah prayers are the ones that our Rasool (pbuh) used to pray regularly. I am curious that when and how the witr prayer became wajib.
