Missing witr Salaah

Q: If the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) missed the Witr prayer, then I have read somewhere, he prayed four rakaats the following day. Can you shed some light on this please?

A: We have not come across this in the authentic books of Hadith.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
