Bayhaqi 3156 — Those who did not hold qunut in the Fajr prayer

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُورَكٍ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي: يَا أَبَتِ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَخَلَفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَخَلَفَ عُمَرَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى قُلْتُ: فَكَانُوا يَقْنُتُونَ فِي الْفَجْرِ؟ قَالَ: " يَا بُنِيَّ مُحْدَثَةٌ " طَارِقُ بْنُ أَشْيَمَ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ لَمْ يَحْفَظْهُ عَمَّنْ صَلَّى خَلْفَهُ، فَرَآهُ مُحْدَثًا وَقَدْ حَفِظَهُ غَيْرُهُ، فَالْحُكْمُ لَهُ دُونَهُ.
(a) It is narrated from Abu Malik al-Ashja'i that he said: I said to my respected father: "Dear father, did you not pray behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both)?" He said: "Certainly!" I said: "Did they recite the qunut in the Fajr prayer?" He said: "My son, that is an innovation."
(b) Tariq bin Ashyam al-Ashja'i did not retain the narration from those behind whom he prayed, so he considered it an innovation, whereas others besides him did retain this narration; therefore the ruling goes against him.
