It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate against four individuals, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: «‏‏‏‏لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة آل عمران ] "O Prophet, you have no authority in this matter; Allah may accept their repentance or punish them, for they are wrongdoers." He says that Allah Almighty guided them to Islam. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that this hadith is also gharib (rare). Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate against some Arab tribes, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: «‏‏‏‏لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة آل عمران ] "(O Prophet) you (peace and blessings be upon him) have no authority in this matter; Allah may accept their repentance or punish them, for they are wrongdoers." He says that then (Allah Almighty) guided them to Islam. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that these ahadith are evidence that cursing (the disbelievers) was abrogated with this verse, but the supplication which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make for the freedom of the Muslims imprisoned by the people of Makkah was not abrogated, that Allah Almighty grant those (weak Muslims) deliverance from them. Because it is not possible that this verse «‏‏‏‏أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة آل عمران ] was revealed about those believers who were being oppressed by the disbelievers. Indeed, Allah Almighty revealed this verse «‏‏‏‏أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة آل عمران ] concerning those disbelievers and hypocrites upon whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to invoke curses. Thus, Allah Almighty informed him that regarding those whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) curses in his supplication of Qunoot, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has no authority in their matter. And Allah Almighty informed him that if He wills, He may accept their repentance and guide them to Islam, or punish them due to their disbelief and hypocrisy, for they are wrongdoers in their state of disbelief and hypocrisy. This does not refer to those believing people for whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate that Allah Almighty grant them freedom from the oppression of the disbelievers. Therefore, Waleed bin Waleed, Salm bin Hisham, Ayyash bin Abi Rabee'ah, and the weak Muslims among the people of Makkah, for their deliverance from the captivity of the enemy disbelievers, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not abandon supplicating for their freedom until their release from the captivity of the disbelievers of Makkah. He did not abandon supplicating for them due to the revelation of this verse, which was revealed about the disbelievers and hypocrites who were oppressors, not the oppressed. Have you not heard the hadith of Yahya bin Abi Katheer from Abu Salamah from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not supplicate for them in the morning prayer, so I reminded him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not see that they (after gaining freedom) have come (to Madinah)?" "O Prophet, you have no authority in this matter; Allah may accept their repentance or punish them, for they are wrongdoers." He says that Allah Almighty guided them to Islam. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that this hadith is also gharib (rare). Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate against some Arab tribes, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: «‏‏‏‏لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة آل عمران ] "O Prophet, you have no authority in this matter; Allah may accept their repentance or punish them, for they are wrongdoers." He says that then (Allah Almighty) guided them to Islam. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that these ahadith are evidence that with this verse, therefore, understand well what I have explained, and with the ability granted by your Creator and Master, be certain that whoever has deduced from these ahadith that making Qunoot in the morning prayer has been abrogated with this verse, his deduction is incorrect.
