Majma al-Zawaid 3457 — The number of rakahs of witr

وَعَنْ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ : بَلَغَ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ سَعْدًا يُوتِرُ بِرَكْعَةٍ قَالَ : مَا أَجَزَأَتْ رَكْعَةٌ قَطُّ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَحُصَيْنٌ لَمْ يُدْرِكِ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَإِسْنَادُهُ حَسَنٌ .
Husayn narrates: News reached Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) performs one rak'ah of witr, so he said: Performing a single rak'ah can never be sufficient.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; the narrator Husayn did not live in the time of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and the chain of this narration is hasan (good).
