What to say after Witr:
After Witr prayer, it is recommended to say:
سُـبْـحَـانَ الْـمَـلِـكِ الْـقُـدُّوسِ
Subḥānal-Malikil-Quddūs
"Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy.” (Three times)
It is reported by Aḥmad (3/406) and others on the authority of 'AbdurRaḥmān ibn Abzā -may Allāh be pleased with him- that the Prophet ﷺ used to recite in Witr:
سبح اسم ربك الأعلى
[i.e., Sūrah Al-A’lā (87) in the first rak'ah], and
قل يا أيها الكافرون
[i.e., Sūrah al-Kāfirūn (109) in the second], and
قل هو الله أحد
[i.e., Sūrah Al-Ikhlāṣ (112) in the third rak'ah].
Then after the taslīm he would say "Subḥānal-Malikil-Quddūs", "Subḥānal-Malikil-Quddūs", "Subḥānal-Malikil-Quddūs",
three times, raising his voice on the third time."
[This ḥadīth was graded Ṣaḥīḥ by Sheikh Muqbil Al-Wādi'ī in 'Aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥul Musnad', no. 890.]
