سنن نسائی · Hadith 1707
Zakariyyabin Abi Za’idah narrated from Abu Ishaq, from Sa’id bin Jubair, that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to pray Witr with three Rak’ahs. In the first he would recite: “Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High;” in the second: “Say: you disbelievers!”; and in the third: “Say: He is Allah, (the) One.” (Sahih) Zuhair narrated it in Mawquif form.
