Sunan Abi Dawud 1425

Translation

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."

  ذكر القنوت ضعيف

  in سنن أبي داود, p. 1423
• Ibn Khuzaymah

  بمثل حديث وكيع في الدعاء ولم يذكر القنوت ولا الوتر وشعبة أحفظ من عدد مثل يونس بن أبي إسحاق وأبو إسحاق لا يعلم أسمع هذا الخبر من بريد أو دلسه عنه اللهم إلا أن يكون كما يدعي بعض علمائنا أن كل ما رواه يونس عن من رواه عنه أبوه أبو إسحاق هو مما سمعه يونس مع أبيه ممن روى عنه ولو ثبت الخبر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه أمر بالقنوت في الوتر أو قنت في الوتر لم يجز عندي مخالفة خبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولست أعلمه ثابتا

  machine translationLike the hadith of Wakīʿ regarding the supplication, but he did not mention the qunūt or the witr. Shuʿbah is a better memorizer than a number of people like Yūnus b. Abī Isḥāq, and Abū Isḥāq is not known to have heard this report from Burayd or to have concealed a defect in transmitting it from him (dallasahu), unless it is as some of our scholars claim, that everything Yūnus narrated from those from whom his father Abū Isḥāq narrated is among what Yūnus heard along with his father from those he narrated from. Had the report been established from the Prophet ﷺ that he commanded the qunūt in the witr or performed the qunūt in the witr, it would not be permissible in my view to go against the report of the Prophet ﷺ, but I do not know it to be established. Report a problem

  in سنن أبي داود, p. 1423
• M. ibn Ḥibbān al-Bustī

  ضعفه فقال هذا خبر رواه أبو إسحاق عن بريد بن أبي مريم وسمعه ابناه إسرائيل ويونس عن أبيهما وعن بريد بن أبي مريم وأبو إسحاق السبيعي كان مدلسا لا يصغر عن بريد بن أبي مريم بل هو أعلى إسنادا منه ولكن لا ندري أسمع هذا الخبر من بريد أم لا قال وهذه اللفظة علمني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كلمات أقولهن في قنوت الوتر ليست بمحفوظة

  machine translationHe declared it weak (ḍaʿīf) and said: This report was narrated by Abū Isḥāq from Burayd b. Abī Maryam, and his two sons Isrāʾīl and Yūnus heard it from their father, and from Burayd b. Abī Maryam. Abū Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī was a concealer of defects (mudallis); he is not junior to Burayd b. Abī Maryam, rather he is higher in his chain than him, but we do not know whether he heard this report from Burayd or not. He said: And this wording, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me words to say in the qunūt of the witr," is not preserved (maḥfūẓ). Report a problem
