وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْأَشْعَثِ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، ثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ قَالَ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى: بِـ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى، وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ: بِـ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ، وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ: بِـ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ
