Is it better to pray the Witr and Shaf‘ (two rak‘ahs before Witr) in congregation at the mosque after ‘Ishā’, or at home?

It is preferable to perform the shaf' and witr prayers at home, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Make some of your prayers in your homes and do not turn them into graves." Thus, supererogatory prayers, including shaf' and witr, are better performed at home than in the mosque.
