Those who did not recite du‘a qunut in Witr

Hazrat Abu Mahzam says that I remained in the company of Hazrat Abu Hurairah for twenty years, and I never saw him recite the Du'a Qunoot in Witr prayers.

Hazrat Nafi' states that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) did not recite the Du'a Qunoot in Fajr or Witr prayers. When he was asked about Qunoot, he would say that we consider Qunoot to be prolonging the standing and the recitation.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ubaidah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Witr is obligatory upon the people of the Qur'an.
