اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلْوَتْرُ ثَلاَثُ رَكَعَاتٍ يُفْصَلُ بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ يُقْرَأُ فِيهِنَّ جَمِيعاً بقل هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Uthman ibn ‘Isa, from Ibn Muskan, from Sulayman ibn Khalid: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “The witr is three rak‘ahs, separated from one another, and ‘Surah Al Ikhlas’ is recited in all of them.”
