Naming a man in qunut

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head (from bowing) in the Fajr prayer, he made this supplication: "O Allah, rescue al-Walid bin al-Walid, Salamah bin Hisham, Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah and the weak ones in Makkah. O Allah, make Your grip severe upon the tribe of Mudar, and make their years like the years of (the people of) Yusuf."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) invoked against them: "O Allah, curse Ri'l, Dhakwan, Adal and Usayyah, who disobeyed Allah and His Messenger, and curse Abu al-A'war al-Sulami."

Abd al-A'la said that Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, while reciting the qunut supplication in the Fajr prayer, invoked against Qatari.

Ibrahim said: People are not to be named in the prayer.

Abd al-Rahman bin Ma'qil said: I prayed the Fajr prayer with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him); he recited the qunut supplication in it and said these words: "O Allah, deal with Mu'awiyah and his faction; O Allah, deal with Amr bin al-As and his faction; O Allah, deal with Abu al-A'war and his faction; O Allah, deal with Abdullah bin Qays and his faction."

Muhammad bin Yahya bin Habban said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept reciting the qunut supplication in the Fajr prayer after bowing for forty days. In the qunut he used to say these words: "O Allah, rescue al-Walid bin al-Walid, Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah, al-As bin Hisham and the weak believers of Makkah who have no means and cannot find any way out."

Sayyiduna Khufaf bin Ima' bin Rahadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Fajr prayer. When he raised his head from the second rak'ah, he said: "Allah has cursed Lihyan, Ri'l, Dhakwan and Usayyah, who disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. May Allah grant safety to the tribe of Aslam, and may Allah forgive the tribe of Ghifar." Then he fell into prostration. When he had completed the prayer, he turned towards the people and said: "O people, it was not I who said this; rather, Allah said it."
