No specific recitation has been prescribed for supererogatory prayers (nawafil), except for the two rak'ahs of Fajr and Maghrib, in which Surat Al-Kafirun and Surat Al-Ikhlas are recited. As for Witr and Shafa', in the Shafa' (even rak'ahs), Surat Al-A'la and Al-Kafirun are recited, and in Witr (odd rak'ah), Al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhatayn (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas) are recited.
