12. Clasping the Hands Together
١٢۔ كتاب التطبيق
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the Qunut for one month, supplicating against one of the 'Arab tribes, then he stopped doing that."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَنَتَ شَهْرًا يَدْعُو عَلَى حَىٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُ
"I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he did not say the Qunut, and I prayed behind Abu Bakr and he did not say the Qunut, and I prayed behind Umar and he did not say the Qunut, and I prayed behind Uthman and he did not say the Qunut, and I prayed behind Ali and he did not say the Qunut." Then he said: "O my son, this is an innovation."
صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَقْنُتْ وَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ يَقْنُتْ وَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَقْنُتْ وَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عُثْمَانَ فَلَمْ يَقْنُتْ وَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ عَلِيٍّ فَلَمْ يَقْنُتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا بُنَىَّ إِنَّهَا بِدْعَةٌ
