Evidence that he did not leave qunut itself in the Fajr prayer, but only left supplicating for or against people by their names and tribes

It is reported from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated in qunut against those tribes for a month, then abandoned it; but in the morning prayer he always continued to recite qunut until he departed this world.

Rabi' bin Anas says: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) when someone asked him: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recite qunut for only one month? He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) continued to recite qunut in the Fajr prayer until he departed this world.
Abu Abdullah (al-Hakim) said: This chain is sahih (authentic) and its narrators are thiqah (trustworthy). Abu Hatim and Abu Zur'ah described al-Rabi' bin Anas as saduq (truthful) and thiqah (trustworthy). Isma'il bin Muslim al-Makki and Amr bin Ubayd also narrated it from al-Hasan from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), but we do not use Isma'il al-Makki or Amr bin Ubayd as proof.

(a) Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them) (the narrator says: I think he also named the fourth, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)) all recited qunut until I parted from them.
(b) In the narration of Abd al-Warith bin Sa'id the morning prayer is mentioned. For these hadiths there are supporting reports (shawahid) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and from his Caliphs.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he recited qunut; I prayed behind Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and he too recited qunut; and I prayed behind Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and he too recited qunut.

Awwam bin Hamzah says: I asked Abu Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him) about qunut in the morning prayer, and he said: It is after the ruku'. I asked: From whom did you take this? He said: From Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them).
This chain is hasan (good), and Yahya bin Sa'id narrates only from those who are trustworthy in his view.

Tariq (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I prayed the morning prayer behind Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he recited qunut.

Ubayd bin Umayr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I heard Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reciting qunut here, in the Fajr prayer, in Makkah.
A similar narration is also transmitted from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) through another chain.
These narrations are sahih (authentic) and mawsul (connected).

Al-Aswad (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I prayed behind Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) while travelling and while resident, and he would recite qunut only in the morning prayer.

(a) Adam bin Abi Iyas (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates via Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he would recite qunut in the second rak'ah of the Fajr prayer and would not recite it in the rest of the prayers.

Ibrahim says that al-Aswad and Amr bin Maymun both narrate: We prayed the Fajr prayer behind Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he did not recite qunut.
Although Mansur is more retentive and more reliable than Hammad bin Abi Sulayman, Hammad's narration on this matter agrees with the well-known position of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding qunut.

(a) Abu Uthman al-Nahdi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I prayed behind Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) for six years, and he used to recite qunut.
(b) Sulayman al-Taymi (may Allah have mercy on him) transmitted this narration from Abu Uthman (may Allah have mercy on him), that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) recited qunut in the morning prayer.
(c) Likewise, Abu Rafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), as we shall mention, in sha' Allah.
(d) In a matter of this kind, the word of the one who both witnessed and remembered is what counts, not the word of the one who neither witnessed nor remembered. 'Wa billahi al-tawfiq' (And success comes only from Allah).

(a) Abdullah bin Ma'qil says: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) recited qunut in the Fajr prayer.
(b) This is authentically and famously established from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).

Abd al-Rahman bin Suwayd al-Kahili narrates: It is as though I can see Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) reciting qunut in the Fajr prayer: 'Allahumma inna nasta'inuka wa nastaghfiruk' (O Allah, we seek Your help and we ask Your forgiveness).

Arfajah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I prayed the Fajr prayer behind Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and he did not recite qunut, and I prayed behind Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and he recited qunut.

Abu Raja' (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) led the Fajr prayer in this mosque; he recited qunut and recited this verse: "And stand before Allah in obedience" [Surah al-Baqarah: 238].

(a) Amr bin Murrah says: I heard Ibn Abi Layla narrate from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite qunut in the morning prayer.
Amr says: I mentioned this to Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: He is not like the students of Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him); he was a man given to disputation. He says: I went back and abandoned qunut. Then the people of the mosque said: By Allah, we do not see in the mosque what has always been done in our mosque. He says: So I resumed qunut. This reached Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him), and he met me and said: This man is overpowered in his own prayer.
(b) Shaykh al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: This (stance) of Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him) is not approved. Knowledge is not such that whatever is not found with the students of Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), but is found with others, is not to be taken; rather, it is taken if it comes from one of higher standing than the students of Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and the narrator is trustworthy, and Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla is a trustworthy (thiqah) narrator.
Amr bin Murrah reported about the people of the mosque that this practice (of observing qunut) had always continued in their mosque.
