Yahya related to me from Malik that Nafi said, "I was with
Abdullah ibn Umar in Makka. The sky was clouded over and Abdullah
feared that dawn was approaching so he prayed one raka for witr. Then
the clouds cleared and he saw that it was still night, so he made his
prayers even with one raka. Then he continued to pray two rakas at a
time, until when he feared the approach of dawn, he prayed one raka
for witr."
Muwatta Malik Book 7, Hadith 19
