The ruling on praying after the witr at the end of the night

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are taking a call from Mubarak on the line, please go ahead, Mubarak. Mubarak. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. May Allah keep you safe. May Allah give you life. My question is: I pray the 'Isha' prayer, then I say the taslim, then I pray the shaf' and the witr. Then I sleep and do not get up at the end of the night. Do I pray two, three, or four rak'ahs, which is what Allah has commanded us to do, and then I prepare for the Fajr prayer and pray it? Is this correct, or is it obligatory to delay the witr until this time? Okay, thank you. Yes, Honorable Shaykh, he says that he prays the 'Isha' prayer, then he performs the shaf' and the witr, and when he gets up in the middle of the night, Honorable Shaykh, does he pray?

Answer:
Yes, he prays whenever it is easy for him, and he is content with the first witr; he does not repeat the witr in one night, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
There are no two Witr in one night.لا وتران في ليلة،
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 470Sahih (Darussalam)
Yes.
