حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، وَأَبُو يُوسُفَ الرَّقِّيُّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الصَّيْدَلَانِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْنَا عَائِشَةَ : بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يُوتِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى : بِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ " .
´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).’”

Benefit:
The aforementioned narration has been declared weak in its chain (isnad) by our esteemed researcher. Furthermore, he has written that there are supporting narrations (shawahid) for it. However, he did not issue a ruling regarding the authenticity or weakness of these supporting narrations. Similarly, in his research on Sunan Abi Dawud (Hadith: 1424), he writes that, apart from the Mu'awwidhatayn, there are supporting narrations for the rest of the hadith. Also, Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has declared this narration to be authentic (sahih). See: (Sahih Abi Dawud (Mufassal), Hadith: 1280). Likewise, the researchers of al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah Musnad al-Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal have also declared it to be authentic due to supporting narrations (sahih li ghayrihi), except for the recitation of the Mu'awwidhatayn. See: (al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah Musnad Ahmad, 80, 79/42).
In conclusion, the aforementioned narration—apart from the Mu'awwidhatayn (Surah al-Falaq and Surah al-Nas)—is actionable and a valid proof. This is because the mention of reciting the remaining three surahs is also found in previous ahadith (1172, 1171), which our esteemed researcher has also declared authentic. And Allah knows best.
