Praying a nafila or witr in jamaat

[Khali]

Is it better to pray a nafila or witr (outside ramadaan) together with a other person (such as ones wife) rather than praying alone ?

I read that it is not makruh to pray nafila in jamaat if the persons behind the imaam are one or two than it's ok, three then there is disagreement about it, and four is makruh by agreement. And some said upto three is not makruh, and four there is disagreement over but the the right that this is makruh.

Does this also apply to the witr ?

Brother Khali, i don't know how much my posting help u, but i think there could be a hint from following hadith. Plz le t me know if it helps u.

Muslim :: Book 4 : Hadith 1387
Anas b. Malik reported that his grandmother, Mulaika, invited the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) to a dinner which she had prepared. He (the Holy Prophet) ate out of that and then said: Stand up so that I should observe prayer (in order to bless) you Anas b. Malik said: I stood up on a mat (belonging to us) which had turned dark on account of its long use. I sprinkled water over it (in order to soften it), and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) stood upon it, and I and an orphan formed a row behind him (the Holy Prophet) and the old woman was behind us, and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) led us in two rak'ahs of prayer and then went back.

can one pray salat ud duha,salat ul hajah or any other established nawafil as a jamaat?

(when i mean jamaat, i mean no more that 3 people inc the Imam)

tahajjud is established that one can do so but what about the others.
