سنن نسائی · Hadith 1756
It was narrated from Saeed bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abza that his father said: “The Messenger of ‘Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم , used to recite in Witr: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High;’ and: ‘Say: you disbelievers!;’ and: ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One.’ And when he had the Taslimhe would say: ‘Subhanal-Malikil-Quddi (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy)’ three times, raising his voice with it.”(Sahih) Nu’aim contradicted them; he reported it from Sufyan, from Zubaid, from Dharr, from Saeed.
