The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray witr with three rak'ahs. In the first he would recite: "Glorify the Name of Your Lord, the Most High" in the second: "Say: O you disbelievers!", and in the third: "Say: He is Allah, (the) One". And he would say the Qunut before bowing, and when he finished he would say: Subhanal-Malikil-Quddus (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy) three times, elongating the words the last time.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِثَلاَثِ رَكَعَاتٍ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الأُولَى بِ { سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى } وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِ { قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ } وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِ { قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ } وَيَقْنُتُ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ قَالَ عِنْدَ فَرَاغِهِ سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ يُطِيلُ فِي آخِرِهِنَّ

And in the third unit, he would recite "Qul huwa Allahu ahad" (Say, He is Allah, the One). Then he would seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak (Al-Falaq) and seek refuge in the Lord of mankind (An-Nas)."

سَأَلْنَا عَائِشَةَ بِأِيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْوِتْرِ؟ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform Witr prayer with recitations of "Subhan Allahi al-A'la" and "Say: O disbelievers" and "Say: He is Allah, the One." And in the narration of Isra'il, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform Witr prayer, and Zuhair ibn Mu'awiya disagreed with them and narrated it differently.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُوتِرُ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُوتِرُ وَقَدْ خَالَفَهُمَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَرَوَاهُ  

[Machine] He used to recite three chapters: So glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High, and say, "O disbelievers," and say, "He is Allah, the One." Ismael said it and Zuhair stopped him, and Isra'il repeated it.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِثَلَاثِ سُوَرٍ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَقَفَهُ زُهَيْرٌ وَرَفَعَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ  

"كَانَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ يُوتِرُ بثَلاثٍ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِنَّ بِسَبِّح اسْمَ ربِّكَ الأعْلَى، وَقُلْ يَأَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ، وَقُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ".  

"عَنْ عِمرانَ بنِ حُصَين أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُوتِرُ بِثَلاثٍ يَقْرأُ فِى الأُولَى بِسَبَّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى، وَفِى الثَّانِيةِ بِقُلْ يَأيُّهَا الكَافِرُون، وَفِى الثَّانية بِقُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ".
