Narrated by عائشة بنت أبي بكر الصديق

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Abdul Aziz ibn Jurayj said: I asked Aishah, mother of the believers: With which (surah) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe witr? (She reported same as in the Hadith of Ubayy ibn Kab, No. 1418) This version adds: In the third rak'ah he would recite: "Say, He is Allah, the One" (Surah 112), and "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak" (Surah 113), and "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind" (Surah 114).

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا خُصَيْفٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ : بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يُوتِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ : "

وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ و الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ
