"Ibn Umar said: "A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about prayer at night. He said: "Two by two, and if you fear that dawn will come, then one.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1667)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٧٧أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ «مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيتَ الصُّبْحَ فَوَاحِدَةً»

[Machine] That a man asked the Prophet ﷺ about the night prayer, so he said: "Pray two by two. When you fear the break of dawn, perform the Witr prayer with one rak'ah."  

البيهقي:٤٧٦٦وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْمَكِّيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيتَ الصُّبْحَ فَأَوْتِرْ بِرَكْعَةٍ
