The freed slave of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him), Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: Once we were accompanying the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) on a journey. He (peace be upon him) said: "Travel is difficult and causes fatigue. When a person performs Witr, he should also perform two rak‘ahs with it. If he wakes up, then fine; otherwise, these two rak‘ahs will suffice for him."

Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform two short rak‘ahs after Witr. The narrator named Muhamili has additionally reported: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform these two rak‘ahs while sitting.

The freed slave of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: We were accompanying the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on a journey. He said: "Travel is a cause of distress and fatigue, so when a person has performed Witr, he should then perform two rak‘ahs. If he wakes up (before Fajr), then fine; otherwise, these two rak‘ahs will suffice for him."
