Mishkat al-Masabih 1284
Umm Salama said the Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray two rak'as after the witr. Tirmidhi transmitted it, and Ibn Majah added that they were short ones which he prayed while sitting.
وَعَنْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَانَ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْوِتْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَزَادَ ابْنُ مَاجَه: خفيفتين وَهُوَ جَالس
