Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 429 — The Book of Salât (Prayer) of Travellers and Its Taqsir (Shortening)
Night prayer ( Tahajjud) and the number of the Rak‘a which the Prophet offered during the night, and to offer one Rak‘a as Witr, and one Rak‘a prayer is perfectly correct.

حديث عَائِشَةَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ، أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتِ: الدَّائمُ، قُلْتُ: مَتَى كَانَ يَقُومُ قَالَتْ: كَانَ يَقُومُ إِذَا سَمِعَ الصَّارِخَ.
Masrûq Narrated from:
I asked ‘Âisha رضى الله عنها which was the most beloved deed to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. She said, “A deed done continuously.” I further asked, “When did he use to get up [in the night for Salât (prayer)]” She said, “He used to get up on hearing the crowing of a cock.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 232, Vol. 2)
