Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pray the witr on the night of Muzdalifah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His statement: (may Allah be pleased with him):
So he prayed with her the Maghrib and the 'Isha' and did not recite anything between them فصلى بها المغرب والعشاء ولم يسبح بينهما شيء
And he did not say that it is specific to Hajj, even though he denied the tasbih?

The Shaykh : What is the tasbih?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. The voluntary prayers?

The Shaykh : Fine, there is evidence that one does not pray the rawatib between the two groups.

The questioner : Did he not say that this extends until the morning?

The Shaykh : He said:
He then lay down till dawn ثم اضطجع حتى طلع الفجر
Mishkat al-Masabih 2555
So its apparent meaning is that he did not pray the tahajjud and did not pray the witr.

The questioner : And did not pray the witr and did not pray a voluntary prayer?

The Shaykh : He did not pray anything, but we have made it clear to you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave the witr, whether resident or traveling.

The questioner : Is it specific to this standing place?

The Shaykh : No, it is not specific; the original state is the absence of specificity.
