1714. Sufyân narrated from Az-Zuhri, from ‘Aṭā’ bin Yazîd, from Abû Ayyûb, who said: "Whoever wants to pray Witr with seven (Rak'ahs) let him do so, and whoever wants to pray Witr with five (Rak'ahs) let him do so, and whoever wants to pray Witr with three Rak'ahs let him do so, and whoever wants to pray Witr with one Rak'ah let him do so, and wants to do so gesturing, let him do so." (Sahîh)
١٧١٣ - قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ قَالَ: «مَنْ شَاءَ أَوْتَرَ بِسَبْعٍ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَوْتَرَ بِخَمْسٍ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَوْتَرَ بِثَلَاثٍ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَوْتَرَ بِوَاحِدَةٍ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَوْمَأَ إِيمَاءً».

"Haqq (duty)": the Hanafites argue for the compuloriness of the Witr from this term, whereas the term Haqq or duty also signifies something stressed or insisted. And here the very same meaning is appropriate contextually.
