Sunan Ibn Majah 1173 (Book 5, Hadith 371) #30525
Reciting Verses During Witr Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to recite certain verses from the Quran during his Witr prayer.

It was narrated that 'Abdul-'Aziz bin Juraij said: "We asked 'Aishah what the Messenger of Allah 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).’"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، وَأَبُو يُوسُفَ الرَّقِّيُّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الصَّيْدَلاَنِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْنَا عَائِشَةَ بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ كَانَ يُوتِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى بِـ ‏{سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى}‏ وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ ‏{قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ}‏ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ ‏{قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ}‏ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Recite Quranic Verses in Prayers; Seek Guidance through Prayers; Connect with God through Prayers.
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his devotion to Allah and his practice of reciting verses from the Quran during his prayers. During Witr, a special prayer that is performed at night, he would recite three specific verses from the Quran. These were “Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most High” [Al-Ala 87], “Say O disbelievers!” [Al-Kafirun 109], and “Say Allah is One” [Chapter 113, 114]. This shows us how important it is to recite verses from the Quran in our prayers as a way of connecting with Allah and seeking His guidance.
