وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، وَبَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ: " صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقَنَتَ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَجَهَرَ بِالدُّعَاءِ " قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ يَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَهَذَا عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ صَحِيحٌ وَرُوِي عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادٍ فِيهِ ضَعْفٌ وَرُوِي عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي قُنُوتِ الْوِتْرِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: فَأَمَّا مَسْحُ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالْوَجْهِ عِنْدَ الْفَرَاغِ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ فَلَسْتُ أَحْفَظُهُ، عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ ⦗٣٠١⦘ السَّلَفِ فِي دُعَاءِ الْقُنُوتِ وَإِنْ كَانَ يُرْوى عَنْ بَعْضِهِمْ فِي الدُّعَاءِ خَارِجَ الصَّلَاةِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثٌ فِيهِ ضَعْفٌ، وَهُوَ مُسْتَعْمَلٌ عِنْدَ بَعْضِهِمْ خَارِجَ الصَّلَاةِ، وَأَمَّا فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَهُوَ عَمَلٌ لَمْ يَثْبُتَ بِخَبَرٍ صَحِيحٍ وَلَا أَثَرٍ ثَابِتٍ وَلَا قِيَاسٍ، فَالْأُولَى أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَهُ وَيَقْتَصِرَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلَهُ السَّلَفُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ، مِنْ رَفْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ دُونَ مَسْحِهِمَا بِالْوَجْهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ.
Abu Rafi' said: I prayed behind Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and he recited the qunut after the bowing, raised his hands and supplicated in a loud voice.
Qatadah said that al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) also used to do the same.
This is authentic from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). The same is also reported from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), but that chain is weak; and it is also reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding the qunut of witr.
Imam al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: As for the matter of wiping the face with the hands upon finishing the supplication, I do not know it from any of the Salaf in the supplication of the qunut, although it is narrated from some of them in supplication outside the prayer. A weak hadith is also reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on this, and it is the practice of some people outside the prayer. As for wiping the face with the hands inside the prayer, this practice is not established by any authentic hadith, nor by any established report (athar), nor by analogy; so it is better not to do it and to suffice with what the Salaf did, that is, only raising the hands in supplication. 'Wa billahi al-tawfiq' (And success is only from Allah).
