Duwaid bin Nafi’ said: ” Ibn Shihab informed me, saying: ‘Ata bin Yazid narrated to me from Abu Ayyub:
That the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Witr is a duty, and whoever wants to pray witr with seven (rak’ahs), let him do so; whoever wants to pray witr with five, let him do so, whoever wants to pray witr with three, let him do so; and whoever wants to pray witr with one, let him do so.’”

Al-Awza’I said: “Az-Zuhri narrated to me, he said: ‘Ata bin Yazid, from Abu Ayyub:

Sufyan narrated from Habib bin Abi Thabit, from Muhammad bin Ali, from his father, from his grandfather, that: The Prophet (ﷺ) got up at night and cleaned his teeth, then he prayed two rak’ahs, then he slept.

Husain narrated from Habib bin Abi Thabit, from Muhammad bin ‘Ali bin ‘Abdullah bin Abbas, from his father, that his grandfather said: “I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he got up and performed wudu, cleaned his teeth while reciting this verse until he finished: ‘Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the Earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding.’ Then he prayed two rak’ahs, then he went back and slept until I heard him breathing deeply. Then he got up and performed wudu and cleaned his teeth. Then he prayed two rak’ahs, then he slept, then he got up and performed wudu and cleaned his teeth and prayed two rak’ahs and prayed witr with three rak’ahs.”

It was narrated that Ubayy bin Ka’b said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite: “Glorify the Name of Your Lord, the Most High;” in witr, in the second rak’ah he would recite: “Say: O you disbelievers!”; and in the third “Say: He is Allah, (the) One”. And he only said the taslim at the end, and he would say- meaning after the taslim: Subhanal-Malikil-Quddus (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy)’ three times.”
