Da'if (Darussalam)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، وَأَبُو يُوسُفَ الرَّقِّيُّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الصَّيْدَلاَنِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْنَا عَائِشَةَ بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ كَانَ يُوتِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى بِـ ‏{سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى}‏ وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ ‏{قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ}‏ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ ‏{قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ}‏ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ ‏.‏
It was narrated that "Abdul-"Aziz bin Juraij said:
"We asked "Aishah what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in Witr. She said: "He used to recite: "Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most High," [Al-A'la (87)] in the first Rak'ah, "Say: "O disbelievers!'" [Al- Kafirun (109)] in the second Rak'ah, and "Say: Allah is One' in the third and the Mu'awwidhatain (Chapter 113, 114).'"
