The supplication in the qunut of witr

Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "My maternal grandfather taught me some words which I recite in the Qunut of Witr: 'O Allah, guide me along with those You have guided, grant me well-being along with those You have granted well-being, be my Protector along with those You have protected, save me from the evil of what You have decreed, and bless me in what You have given me. For it is You who decree, and none can decree against You. Surely, the one You protect is not humiliated. You are Blessed and Exalted.'"

A Shaykh whose kunyah was Abu Muhammad said that Sayyiduna al-Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to supplicate in the Qunut of Witr in this way: "O Allah, surely You see and are not Yourself seen, and You are of the highest rank and station. Surely the return is to You alone, and to You alone belong the Hereafter and the former life. O Allah, we seek refuge in You from being humiliated and disgraced."

Abdullah bin Ubayd bin Umayr said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to recite this supplication in the Qunut of Witr: "Praise be to You, filling the seven heavens and the seven earths and whatever is between them, and filling whatever thing there is after that. Yours is the praise; You are the possessor of greatness and honour. And whatever the servants have said, and all of us are Your servants, the truest statement among them is this: none can withhold the blessing You bestow, none can give what You withhold, and before You the rank of a man of rank is of no avail."

Abu Abd al-Rahman said: "Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) taught us to recite this supplication in the Qunut of Witr: 'O Allah, we seek help from You alone and we seek forgiveness from You. We praise You most excellently and we are not ungrateful to You. We separate from and forsake whoever disobeys You. O Allah, You alone we worship, to You alone we pray and prostrate, and towards You alone we hasten and present ourselves in service. We hope for Your mercy and we fear Your punishment. Surely Your punishment is to reach the disbelievers.'"

Al-Zubayr bin Adi said that Ibrahim said: "Say in the Qunut of Witr: 'O Allah, we seek help from You and we seek forgiveness from You.'"
