Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Hisham narrates that Hazrat Husain said: One day I led the morning prayer, and Uthman bin Ziyad prayed behind me. He says, I recited Qunoot Nazilah in the morning prayer. He says that when my prayer was completed, Uthman bin Ziyad asked me: Which supplication did you recite in the Qunoot? So I said: I mentioned these words: O Allah! We seek help from You and we ask forgiveness from You. And we praise You excellently and we do not show ingratitude to You. And we separate from and abandon the one who disobeys You. O Allah! We worship You alone. And for You alone we pray and prostrate. And to You alone we run and present ourselves. And we hope for Your mercy and we fear Your severe punishment. Surely, Your punishment is to befall the disbelievers. Hazrat Husain says: Uthman bin Ziyad told me: Both Hazrat Umar bin Khattab and Hazrat Uthman bin Affan used to do the same.
