Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One night I stayed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in order to observe when he recites the Qunoot supplication in the Witr prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Qunoot supplication before bowing (ruku‘). Then I sent my mother, Sayyidah Umm ‘Abd, and told her to stay with the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and observe how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recites the Qunoot supplication in the Witr prayer. So my mother came and informed me: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Qunoot supplication before bowing (ruku‘). One of the narrators of this narration, Aban, is abandoned (matruk).
