462. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would recite during Al-Witr: 'Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most High',[1] and, 'say: O you disbelievers![2] and, 'say: Allāh is One',[3] in each Rak'ah."[4] (Sahih) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Alī, 'Āishah, 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abzā from Ubayy bin Ka'b, [and it has been reported from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abzā] from the Prophet ﷺ. Abū 'Eisā said: It has been reported that the Prophet ﷺ would recite Al-Mu'awwidhatain; and, 'say: Allāh is One', in the third Rak'ah. What is preferred by most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and those after them is to recite: Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most High,[5] and; "Say: O you disbelievers!"[6] and; "Say: Allāh is One",[7] reciting one of these Sūrah in each Rak'ah.

٤٦٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ» بِـ {سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى} وَ {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ} وَ {قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ} فِي رَكْعَةٍ رَكْعَةٍ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَعَائِشَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَيُرْوَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ فِي الْوِتْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ بِالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ {قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ}. وَالَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ بِـ {سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى} وَ {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ} وَ {قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ} يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِسُورَةٍ.
