Musnad Abi Ya'la 4657 — The Prophet ﷺ prayed five rak'ahs of witr
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، فِيمَا يَظُنُّ أَبُو يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَوْتَرَ بِخَمْسِ رَكَعَاتٍ ، وَلَا يَجْلِسُ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهَا ، قَامَ فِيهَا كُلِّهَا إِلَّا الْخَامِسَةَ ، وَصَفَهُ ابْنُ دَاوُدَ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed five rak'ahs of witr, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) sat (for the sitting) only in the last of them; he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained standing continuously through all of those rak'ahs except the fifth." Regarding the chain of this report, Abu Yahya is not certain about Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrating it from his father Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him), and Ibn Dawud described it in this way.
