كَانَ رَسُولُ ﷺ يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعِ سُوَرٍ فِي ثَلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ: أَلْهَاكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ، وَ إِنَّا أَنْـزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ، وَ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الأَرْضُ فِي رَكْعَةٍ، وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ: وَالْعَصْرِ، وَ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَ إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ، وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ: قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ، وَ تَبَّتْ، وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ
