A man who prays witr and then gets up afterwards

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: When a man prays witr at the beginning of the night and then wakes up in the last part of the night, let him add one rak'ah to his witr, then pray, and then pray witr at the end of his prayer.

Al-Sha'bi said that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to do that.

Amr bin Maymun also used to say the same.

Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd and Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: When you have prayed witr in the early part of the night and then get up to pray, pray as much as you wish, and make your witr even by adding one rak'ah, then pray witr.

Hisham said: Urwah used to pray witr in the early part of the night, and when he got up at night he would pray an even number of rak'ahs.

Musa bin Talhah said: Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) used to join one rak'ah to a rak'ah (to make it even), and he would say: I liken it to nothing but a strange camel.

Abu Qays al-Awdi, Abd al-Rahman bin Tharwan, said: I asked Amr bin Maymun about a man who prays witr at night and then wakes up: what should he do? He said: He should add one rak'ah to it.

Makhul said: When a man prays after having prayed witr, he should pray two rak'ahs at a time.
