وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْنَا عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يُوتِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَتْ: كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى بِ (سَبِّحِ اسْم رَبك الْأَعْلَى) وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِ (قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ) وَفَى الثَّالِثَةِ بِ (قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أحد) والمعوذتين وَرَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد وَرَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى وَرَوَاهُ ألأحمد عَن أبي بن كَعْب والدارمي عَن ابْن عَبَّاس وَلم يذكرُوا والمعوذتين

Abd al-Aziz ibn Jurayj said: We asked Aisha what the Messenger of God recited in the witr prayer. She said: In the first unit he recited Glorify the name of your Most High Lord; in the second, Say: O disbelievers; and in the third, Say: He is God, One, along with the two chapters of refuge. Al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud transmitted it. Al-Nasa’i transmitted it from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abza, Ahmad from Ubayy ibn Ka’b, and al-Darimi from Ibn Abbas; the latter two did not mention the two chapters of refuge.
