[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to perform Witr prayers with seven units. He would not sit except in the sixth unit, then he would stand without saying salaam and perform the seventh unit, then he would say salaam once, then he would perform two units while sitting. Hammad ibn Salamah disagreed with these actions.  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٤١٣أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا كَبُرَ وَضَعُفَ «أَوْتَرَ بِسَبْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا يَقْعُدُ إِلَّا فِي السَّادِسَةِ ثُمَّ يَنْهَضُ وَلَا يُسَلِّمُ فَيُصَلِّي السَّابِعَةَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ تَسْلِيمَةً ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ» خَالَفَهُمَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ
