Hadith 1628
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: "كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ: يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى، وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ، وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ".
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray three rak‘ahs of Witr; in the first rak‘ah he would recite «سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى», in the second rak‘ah «قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ», and in the third rak‘ah «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ».
