...Ayyūb, and Ibn ʿAbbās.

The ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth.

And the practice upon this is [held] by some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Followers: they held that a man should separate between the two rakʿahs and the third, performing the witr as one rakʿah. And this is the view of Mālik, al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad, and Isḥāq.

9 – Chapter: What has been related concerning what is recited in the witr

466 – ʿAlī ibn Ḥujr narrated to us, he said: Sharīk informed us, from Abū Isḥāq, from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to recite in the witr: {Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High}, and {Say: O disbelievers}, and {Say: He is Allah, the One} — one [sūrah] in each rakʿah.

In this chapter [there is also a ḥadīth] from ʿAlī, ʿĀʾishah, and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abzā from Ubayy ibn Kaʿb, and it is also related from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abzā from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

And it has been related from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he recited in the witr, in the third rakʿah, the Muʿawwidhatān and {Say: He is Allah, the One}.

And what most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and those after them chose is that one should recite {Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High} and {Say: O disbelievers}
