Abu Musa was between Makkah and Al-Madinah. He prayed 'Isha with two rak'ahs, then he stood and prayed one rak'ah of witr in which he recited one hundred verses from An-Nisa'.

ahmad:19760 – ʿAbd al-Ṣamad > Thābit > ʿĀṣim > Abū Mijlaz

[Machine] Abu Musa prayed with his companions while he was traveling from Mecca to Medina. He prayed two Rak'ahs of Isha and then stood up and recited one hundred verses from Surah An-Nisa in one Rak'ah. Some people criticized him for this, so he said, "I did not intend to place my feet where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his feet, and to do what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did."
