1424 — Aḥmad ibn Abī Shuʿayb narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Salamah narrated to us: Khuṣayf narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Jurayj, who said:
I asked ʿĀ’ishah, the Mother of the Believers: "With what did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform the Witr prayer?" And he mentioned its meaning. He said: "And in the third [rakʿah], with {Qul Huwa Allāhu Aḥad} and the Muʿawwidhatayn."(1)

338 — Chapter: On the Qunūt in the Witr Prayer

1425 — Qutaybah ibn Saʿīd and Aḥmad ibn Jawwās al-Ḥanafī narrated to us: both said: Abū al-Aḥwaṣ narrated to us, from Abū Isḥāq, from Burayd ibn Abī Maryam, from Abū al-Ḥawrā’, who said:
============================================
= And it was also recorded by Ibn Mājah (1171) from ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah, with this chain of transmission. Its wording is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform the Witr prayer with {Sabbih isma rabbika al-aʿlā}, {Qul yā ayyuhā al-kāfirūn}, and {Qul huwa Allāhu aḥad}."
It appears with this wording in "Musnad Aḥmad" (21141) and "Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān" (2436).
It was also recorded by al-Nasā’ī in "al-Kubrā" (446), (1433), and (1436) through multiple chains from Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abzā, with it. They added: "And he would say after the taslīm: 'Subḥāna al-Malik al-Quddūs'" — and this addition will come separately under number (1430).
It was also recorded by al-Nasā’ī (447), (1434), (1435), and (1437–1439) through multiple chains from Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abzā, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ. They did not mention Ubayy ibn Kaʿb, and this does not harm the authenticity of the ḥadīth, as we have stated previously.
(1) It is ḥasan (good) due to its multiple chains and supporting witnesses, but this chain is weak due to the weakness of ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Jurayj. Moreover, he did not hear from ʿĀ’ishah, according to what Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, and al-Dāraquṭnī said. His explicit claim of hearing here is among the errors of Khuṣayf — that is, Ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, for he had a poor memory. Aḥmad ibn Abī Shuʿayb is Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Shuʿayb Muslim al-Ḥarrānī, a client of Quraysh.
It was also recorded by Ibn Mājah (1173) and al-Tirmidhī (467) through multiple chains from Muḥammad ibn Salamah, with this chain of transmission. Al-Tirmidhī said: "A ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth." Al-Ḥāfiẓ deemed it ḥasan in "Natā’ij al-Afkār" 1/512.
See the completion of its takhrīj in our annotations on "Sunan Ibn Mājah."
It is also in "Musnad Aḥmad" (25906) and "Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān" (2432).
