If one prays Witr after 'Isha', then gets up at night and prays, does he pray Witr again?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I pray Witr immediately after 'Isha, fearing that I will not wake up in the last third of the night. If I do wake up, do I pray Witr a second time? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The first Witr is sufficient. If you wake up, pray whatever is easy for you, but do not pray Witr a second time, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade two Witr prayers in the same night. Yes.
