[Machine] The Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , used to perform three voluntary units of prayer without reciting the final salutation in them until he completed the first unit by saying "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), the second unit by saying "Qul ya ayyuha al-kafiroon" (Say, O disbelievers), and the third unit by saying "Huwa Allahu ahad" (He is Allah, the One). He would prolong the recitation before bowing down, and when he finished, he would say "Subhan al-Malik al-Quddus" (Glory be to the King, the Holy) twice, and in the third unit, he would raise his voice.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform the Witr prayer in three units, in which he would recite Surah Al-Ala (Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High), Surah Al-Kafirun (Say: O disbelievers), and Surah Al-Ikhlas (Say: He is Allah, the One). He would also engage in supplication before the Ruku' (bowing) position and say "Subhanal-Malikil-Quddus" (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy) twice, quietly the first time and aloud the second time, extending his voice with it.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثٍ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ وَكَانَ يَقْنُتُ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا سَلَّمَ سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ مَرَّتَيْنِ يُسِرُّ بِهِمَا وَالثَّالِثَةُ يَجْهَرُ بِهَا وَيَمُدُّ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ

Ubayy bin Ka'b said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in Witr: "Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High;" and "Say: O you disbelievers!;' and 'Say: He is Allah, (the) One.' And when he said the salam, he would say: Subhanal-Malikil-Quddus (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy) three times." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1729)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يَرْفَعُ بِالثَّالِثَةِ صَوْتَهُ
