أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ مُوسَی قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَزْرَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَی عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ کَعْبٍ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ بِسَبِّحْ اسْمَ رَبِّکَ الْأَعْلَی وَفِي الرَّکْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ بِقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْکَافِرُونَ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَلَا يُسَلِّمُ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِنَّ وَيَقُولُ يَعْنِي بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِکِ الْقُدُّوسِ ثَلَاثًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1706
It was narrated that Ubayy bin Ka’b said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to recite: “Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High;” in Witr; in the second Rak’ah he would recite: “Say: you disbelievers!”; and in the third “Say: He is Allah, (the) One”. And he only said the Taslimat the end, and he would say – meaning after the Taslim: ‘Subt (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy)’ three times.” (Da’if)
