1434. Abū Qatādah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ asked Abū Bakr: "When do you pray the Witr?" He said: "I pray the Witr in the early part of the night." And he asked Umar: "When do you pray Witr?" He said: "In the last part of the night." So he said to Abū Bakr: "This one has been cautious," and he said to Umar: "This one has been strong." (Hasan)
1434 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ السَّيْلَحِينِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: «مَتَى تُوتِرُ؟»، قَالَ: أُوتِرُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ، وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ: «مَتَى تُوتِرُ؟»، قَالَ: آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: «أَخَذَ هَذَا بِالْحَزْمِ»، وَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ: «أَخَذَ هَذَا بِالْقُوَّةِ»

In case a person feels it hard to wake up in the last hours of night, he should perform his Witr prayer before he goes to bed, and perform Tahajjud prayer when he wakes up late at night. He need not perform Witr again in this case.
