Mansur reported from Al-Hakam, from Miqsam, from Ibn 'Abbas that Umm Salamah said: "The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to pray witr with seven or five (rak'ahs), not separating between them with the taslim."

Sufyan bin Al-Husain narrated from Al-Hakam that Miqsam said: "Witr is seven and no less than five." I mentioned that to Ibrahim and he said: "From whom did he quote that?" I said: "I do not know." Al-Hakam said: "Then I performed Hajj and I met Miqsam and said to him: 'From whom (did you narrate that)?' He said: 'From the trustworthy one, from Aishah and from Maimunah.'"

Hisham bin Urwah narrated from his father, from Aishah, that: The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to pray witr with five and he did not sit except in the last (rak'ah) of them.
