Bayhaqi 3131 — Evidence that qunut is after bowing

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَادِقِ بْنُ أَبِي الْفَوَارِسِ الْعَطَّارُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، ثنا قَبِيصَةُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا " قَنَتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَهْرًا " فَقُلْتُ: كَيْفَ الْقُنُوتُ؟ قَالَ: " بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ فَهُوَ ذَا قَدْ أَخْبَرَ أَنَّ الْقُنُوتَ الْمُطْلَقَ الْمُعْتَادَ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ، وَقَوْلُهُ: إِنَّمَا قَنَتَ شَهْرًا، يُرِيدُ بِهِ اللَّعْنَ وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ، وَرُوَاةُ الْقُنُوتِ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ أَكْثَرُ وَأَحْفَظُ، فَهُوَ أَوْلَى وَعَلَى هَذَا دَرَجَ الْخُلَفَاءُ الرَّاشِدُونَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ فِي أَشْهَرِ الرِّوَايَاتِ عَنْهُمْ وَأَكْثَرِهَا.
(a) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) "recited the qunut for one month." I asked: "At what time?" He said: "After the bowing."
(b) The qunut is to be recited after the bowing.
(c) The saying of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "He recited the qunut for only one month," refers to supplicating against and cursing. And Allah Almighty knows best.
(d) The narrators of reciting the qunut after the bowing are more numerous and firmer in memory, so this is better, and the Rightly Guided Caliphs (may Allah be pleased with them) also acted upon it. Well-known narrations are reported from them.
