Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The witr of the night is three, just as the witr of the day (i.e., the Maghrib prayer) is three rak'ahs." The narrator who transmitted this narration, Yahya bin Zakariya, is called Ibn Abu al-Hawaj, and he is weak; only he has transmitted it from A'mash.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer Witr on his mount.

Saeed bin Yasar narrates: I dismounted from my ride to perform Witr, so Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to me: "Is the example of Allah's Messenger not sufficient for you?" I replied: "Yes, indeed!" Then he said: "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform Witr while on his mount."
