Traditional grade: Sahih How we grade
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ قَالَ هَذَا يَقُولُ فِي الْوِتْرِ فِي الْقُنُوتِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَقُولُهُنَّ فِي الْوِتْرِ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَبُو الْحَوْرَاءِ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ .
The version has the words: “He would recite the supplication of the witr.” He did not mention the words: “I say them in the witr.”
Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu al-Hawra’ is Rabi’ah b. Shaiban.
