وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، ثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ؓ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ
كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى بِـ سَبِّحْ، وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِـ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ، وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِـ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ
