"Messenger of Allah taught me some phrases to say during Al-Witr (Allahummahdini fiman hadait, wa a'fini fiman afait, wa tawallani fiman tawallait, wa barik Li fima atait, wa qini sharra ma qadait, fa Innaka taqdi wa la yuqda Alaik, wa innahu la yadhillu man walait, tabarakta Rabbana wa ta'alait.) 'O Allah guide me among those You have guided, pardon me among those You have pardoned, befriend me among those You have befriended, bless me in what You have granted, and save me from the evil that You decreed. Indeed You decree, and none can pass decree, and none can pass decree upon You, indeed he is not humiliated whom You have befriended, blessed are You our Lord and Exalted.'"

الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رضى الله عَنْهُمَا عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ فِي الْوِتْرِ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلاَ يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ وَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me some words that I say during the witr. (The version of Ibn Jawwas has: I say them in the supplication of the witr.) They were: "O Allah, guide me among those Thou hast guided, grant me security among those Thou hast granted security, take me into Thy charge among those Thou hast taken into Thy charge, bless me in what Thou hast given, guard me from the evil of what Thou hast decreed, for Thou dost decree, and nothing is decreed for Thee. He whom Thou befriendest is not humbled. Blessed and Exalted art Thou, our Lord." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1425)

عَنْهُ قَالَ عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ فِي قُنُوتِ الْوِتْرِ «اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد أَبُو الْحَوْرَاءِ اسْمُهُ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ

سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ يَقُولُ عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَقُولَ فِي الْوِتْرِ «اللهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ؛ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ»

[Machine] I said to Al-Hasan ibn Ali, "What was your opinion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? And what did you understand from him?" He said, "I understood from him to leave what causes doubts in you for that which does not cause doubts in you, for evil is a doubt while good is tranquility. And I understood from him the five daily prayers and certain words that I should recite after completing them." He said, "Say: 'O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided, pardon me among those whom You have pardoned, turn to me in friendship among those whom You have turned to, bless me in what You have given me, and protect me from the evil that You have decreed. Surely, You decree and no one can decree over You. Indeed, the one who is supported by You is never humiliated. Blessed are You, our Lord, and exalted are You.'" Buraid ibn Abi Maryam said, "Then I entered upon Muhammad ibn Ali in the marketplace and informed him of this narration from Abu Al-Huraira from Al-Hasan ibn Ali. He said, 'These are true words that he taught us to recite during the Qunut'."

قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ مِثْلُ مَنْ كُنْتَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ وَمَا عَقَلْتَ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ عَقَلْتُ عَنْهُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ فَإِنَّ الشَّرَّ رِيبَةٌ وَالْخَيْرَ طُمَأْنِينَةٌ وَعَقَلْتُ عَنْهُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وكَلِماتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ عِنْدَ انْقِضائِهِنَّ قَالَ قُلِ اللهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنَ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ؛ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ قَالَ بُرَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ فِي الشِّعْبِ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ هُنَّ كَلِمَاتٌ عَلَّمَنَاهُنَّ أَنْ نَقُولَهُنَّ فِي الْقُنُوتِ

[Machine] Al-Hasan ibn Ali said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me some words to say during Witr prayers. Ibn Jawwas said, 'In the Qunut of Witr, say: O Allah! Guide me among those whom You have guided, pardon me among those whom You have pardoned, take care of me among those whom You have taken care of, bless me in what You have given, and protect me from the evil that You have decreed. Surely, You decree and none can decree over You. Verily, he whom You take as an ally is never disgraced. Blessed are You, O our Lord, and Exalted.' Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdan informed us, Ahmed ibn Ubayd Al-Saffar informed us, Uthman ibn Umar al-Dabbi informed us, Amr ibn Marzooq informed us, from Zuhayr, from Abu Ishaq, from Yazid ibn Abi Maryam, from Abu al-Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me to say during Witr prayers, 'O Allah! Guide me among those whom You have guided.' He mentioned the Hadith, and at the end he said, 'Say it in Qunut during Witr prayers.'"

قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ فِي الْوِتْرِ قَالَ ابْنُ جَوَّاسٍ فِي قُنُوتِ الْوِتْرِ اللهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ 4628 وَأنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الضَّبِّيُّ ثنا عَمْرٌو يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَرْزُوقٍ ثنا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيتَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِي آخِرِهِ تَقُولُهَا فِي الْقُنُوتِ فِي الْوِتْرِ

[Machine] Teach me, O Messenger of Allah, what to say in my Witr prayer when I raise my head and only Sujood remains (to be performed). O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided, make me well among those whom You have made well, take care of me among those whom You have taken care of, bless me in what You have given me, and protect me from the evil that You have decreed. Indeed, You decree and none can decree upon You. No one who You have befriended will be humiliated, and no one who You have opposed will be honored. Blessed are You, our Lord, and Exalted are You. This wording is specific to Abu Bakr ibn Shaybah al-Hazami, and it has been narrated in the Qunut of the Fajr prayer after the Ruku'. It is what is recommended to rely upon, and the Qunut of Witr prayer is based on it by analogy.

عَلِّمْنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وِتْرِي إِذَا رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا السُّجُودُ اللهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهَذَا اللَّفْظِ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ شَيْبَةَ الْحِزَامِيُّ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا فِي قُنُوتِ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ مَا يُوجِبُ الِاعْتِمَادَ عَلَيْهِ وَقُنُوتُ الْوِتْرِ قِيَاسٌ عَلَيْهِ
