Sunan an-Nasa'i 1728

Translation

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'. Then he said: "I tried my best to place my feet where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his, and to recite what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited."
