It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he once spent the night at the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the qunut supplication before the bowing. Then, the next night, I sent my mother, and she too came and told me the same. In the narration of Ahmad bin Mani' the wording is that Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I stayed the night with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in order to see how he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the qunut in his witr prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the qunut before the bowing. Then I sent my mother, Umm Abd, and said to her: Spend the night with the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and observe how he (peace and blessings be upon him) recites the qunut in the witr. She too came and told me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had recited the qunut before bowing."
The narrator of this narration, Aban bin Abi Ayyash, is matruk (abandoned).
