حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ الأَبَّارُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، - وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ - عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ، وَزُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُوتِرُ بِـ ‏‏{‏ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى ‏}‏ وَ ‏{‏ قُلْ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ‏}‏ وَاللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الصَّمَدُ ‏.‏

Translation

Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Abu Hafs al-Abbar narrated to us. Ibrahim ibn Musa narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Anas informed us—this is his wording—from al-Amash, from Talhah and Zubayd, from Said ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Abza, from his father, from Ubayy ibn Kab, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray witr with Sabbih isma rabbika al-Ala (Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High), Qul lil-ladhina kafaru (Say to those who disbelieve), and Allah al-Wahid al-Samad (Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient).
