al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 4801

Translation

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me these words in witr. He said: Say: Allahumma ihdini fiman hadayta wa 'afini fiman afayta wa tawallani fiman tawallayta wa barik li fima a'tayta, wa qini sharra ma qadayta, fa innaka taqdi wa la yuqda 'alayk, wa innahu la yadhilluman walayta, tabarakta Rabbana wa at'alayt. Wa salla Allahu ala al-Nabi Muhammad (O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided, pardon me among those You have pardoned, turn to me in friendship among those on whom You have turned in friendship, and bless me in what You have bestowed, and save me from the evil of what You have decreed. For verily You decree and none can influence You; and he is not humiliated whom You have befriended. Blessed are You, O Lord, and Exalted. And may Allah (SWT) send salah upon the Prophet Muhammad)'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1746)

• 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.

  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
