Hadith 1704

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّهُ " كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ بِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى و يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ " .
´Zuhair narrated from Abu Ishaq, from Sa'eed bin Jubair, :` Ibn Abbas used to pray witr with three (units) with (the Surahs): "Glorify the Name of Your Lord, the Most High" (Surah Al-A'la), "Say: O You disbelievers" (Surah Al-Kafirun), and "Say: He is Allah, (the) One" (Surah Al-Ikhlas).

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1704. Commentary: The difference between the two is that in the first narration, three witr are mentioned as the action of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), while in the second hadith, it is the personal action of Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhuma). By "difference," this is what the author (rahimahullah) intends. And Allah knows best.
