صحيح ابن خزيمه
Ibn Khuzaymah
جماع أبواب ذكر الوتر وما فيه من السنن
Chapters on Witr and its Sunnahs
(459) بَابُ الزَّجْرِ أَنْ يُوتِرَ الْمُصَلِّي فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ إِذِ الْمُوتِرُ مَرَّتَيْنِ تَصِيرُ صَلَاتُهُ بِاللَّيْلِ شَفْعًا لَا وِتْرًا
The chapter on the prohibition of praying Witr twice in one night, as doing so makes the night prayer even, not odd
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1101 — The chapter on the prohibition of praying
نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ ، نَا مُلازِمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، نَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَدْرٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ ، قَالَ : زَارَنَا أَبِي فِي يَوْمٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، فَأَمْسَى عِنْدَنَا وَأَفْطَرَ ، وَقَامَ بِنَا تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ ، وَأَوْتَرَ بِنَا ، ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِهِ ، فَصَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ حَتَّى بَقِيَ الْوِتْرُ ، ثُمَّ قَدَّمَ رَجُلا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَوْتِرْ بِأَصْحَابِكَ ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لا وِتْرَانِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ "
Hazrat Qais bin Talq narrates that during the blessed month of Ramadan, one day my respected father came to visit us. He spent the evening with us and broke his fast. That night, he led us in prayer and also led us in Witr. Then he went to his mosque and led his companions in prayer, until only Witr remained. Then he appointed one of his companions to lead and said, "You lead your companions in Witr, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'It is not permissible to perform Witr twice in one night.'"
