then resume the night prayer; but if dawn breaks before you have performed witr, make it up in the forenoon (duḥā), offering it as an even number.

These ḥadiths likewise show that when a person has a family and rises for the night prayer, he should—so long as they are able—wake his household. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would pray during the night, and when only the witr remained he would wake ʿĀʾishah so that she could perform her witr. In other words, you are not obliged to rouse your family to pray alongside you; they may not share your physical stamina or mental readiness. Do not insist on waking them unless you see that they desire it. Still, do not forget them toward the end of the night: let them rise, even if only for the witr, just as the Messenger of Allah used to do.

We ask Allah to make us and you among those who stand in prayer at night, fast by day, and worship their Lord with due devotion.
