Tarâwîh is night prayer, so if he finishes from the witr salâh, he says [Subhân al-Mâlik al-Quddûs] 3 times, and as for the narration in which [Rabb al-Malâ’ikah war-Rûh] is mentioned, then it is shâdh
[BENEFIT]: Abû ‘Abdillâh al-Hâshimî said you stretch the 3rd time you say it and ‘Abdullâh as-Sa’d said you prolong the 3rd time you say it. Al-Hasanî and al-‘Adawî mentioned that also, to basically stretch the last time you say it.

A SUMMARY OF HOW THE PROPHET ﷺ PRAYED WITR
(a) He (ﷺ) does not sit (for Tashahhud) and say the Taslīm in the 8th Rak'ah if offering 9 Raka'āt. Rather, he recites the Tashahhud in the 9th Rak'ah and says the Taslīm.
(b) If praying 7 Raka'āt, he (ﷺ) does sit in the 6th Rak'ah but without saying the Taslīm. Then he sits in the 7th Rak'ah for it.
(c) Not sitting except in the 5th Rak'ah, if offering 5 Rak'ah of Witr.
(d) If he (ﷺ) prays 3 Raka'āt of Witr, this was done in two ways:
First: Saying the Taslīm after two Raka'āt, then praying one Rak’ah on its own, i.e; separately.
Second: To pray 3 Raka'āt in a continuous manner.
No problem arises in the first way. However, in the second way, there is no sitting (for Tashahhud) except in the last Tashahhud. This is due to this Hadīth of the Prophet ﷺ concerning Witr.
« لاَ تَشَبَّهُوا بِصَلاَةِ المَغْرِبِ »
"Do not make it (Witr) resemble Maghrib."
Narrated by Ibn Hibbān, Dāraqutnī, Al-Hākim and Al-Bayhaqī. There's no problem in the chain of transmitters.
◾️The minimum number of Raka'āt for a perfect Witr is 3.
(e) However, praying 1 Rak'ah of Witr is also proven.
(All these numbers [number of Raka'āt in Witr] are proven from Ahādīth in Sahīh Muslim)

🍃The Virtue of Praying Tarāwīh behind the Imām
At-Tirmithī reported from the way of Hannād, from Muḥammad Ibn Fudayl, from Dāwūd Ibn Abī Hind, from Al-Walīd ibn 'Abdur-Rahmān, from Jubayr Ibn Nufayr who reported from Abū Dharr who narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:
«مَنْ قَامَ مَعَ الإِمَامِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ كُتِبَ لَهُ قِيَامُ لَيْلَةٍ»
Whoever stands in prayer (Tarāwīh) with the Imām until he departs will have written for him the standing of the whole night (meaning in prayer; Qiyām-ul-Layl).
🔸In the Sharh of Bulūgh al-Marām, under 649th Hadīth, Shaykh Al-Muhaddith al-'Alwān said: this chain is Hassan.
🔸He also said in the Sharh of Sunan at-Tirmithī: this was reported by Abū Dāwūd with a strong chain (what this means is to pray behind the Imām till he has finished, and when he prays Witr, to pray that too with him. And for the one who intends to pray more in the night, they can pray in 2 units, and brought dalīl for this*)

The chain is Hassan and this has been declared so by at-Tirmithī, Ibn Jārūd, Ibn Khuzaymah, Ibn Hibbān and even At-Tūsī.

*At-Tirmidhi (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
The scholars differed concerning the one who prays Witr at the beginning of the night then prays qiyām at the end of the night…
Some of the scholars among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said: If he prays Witr at the beginning of the night, then sleeps, then gets up at the end of the night, he may offer whatever prayers he likes, but he should leave his Witr as it was. This is the view of Sufyān ath-Thawri, Mālik ibn Anas, Ibn al-Mubārak, ash-Shāfa‘i, the scholars of Kūfah, and Ahmad.
This is more correct, because it was narrated via more than one isnād that the Prophet ﷺ prayed after Witr.

In his series on Qiyām-ul-Layl, Shaykh Abū Ubādah Harīth ash-Shiraida حفظه الله explains the strangeness of the same Hadīth (of praying behind the Imām), yet as you can see from the above, the scholars quoted do accept that Hadīth.
And he (Abū Ubādah) also mentions in the second part of this series that the best time is at the last portion of the night. These are differences of opinion among the scholars, do your research and act according to what seems to be more according to the Qur'ān and Sunnah.
And Allāh ta'ālā knows best.
May Allāh have mercy on our ulamah and our students of knowledge and preserve them. May Allāh guide us.

The Marathon 🏃🏽♂️
Al-Hasan al-Basrī (d.110H) is reported to have said:
إن الله جعل شهر رمضان مضمارًا لخلقه يستبقون فيه بطاعته إلى مرضاته، فسبق قوم ففازوا، وتخلف آخرون فخابوا، فالعجب من اللاعب الضاحك في اليوم الذي يفوز فيه المحسنون ويخسر فيه المبطلون
"Allāh has made Ramadān a race track for His creation in which they compete in obedience to Him, towards His Pleasure. While some people precede and win, others fall behind and left bitterly disappointed.
The winners will marvel with laughter on the Day (of Judgement) for their excellent run, while the losers are disqualified."
