حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
عَلَّمَنِي جَدِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ فِي قُنُوتِ الْوِتْرِ اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَاهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلاَ يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ رَبَّنَا تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ

“My grandfather, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, taught me some words to say in Qunut of Witr: Allahumma ‘afini fiman ‘afait, wa tawallani fiman tawallait, wahdini fiman hadait, wa qini sharra ma qadait, wa barik li fima a’tait. Innaka taqdi wa la yuqda ‘alaik, innahu la yudhillu man walait. Subhanaka rabbana tabarakta wa ta’alait (O Allah, pardon me along with those whom You have pardoned, be an ally to me along with those whom You are an ally to, guide me along with those whom You have guided, protect me from the evil that You have decreed, and bless for me that which You have bestowed. For verily You decree and none can decree over You. He whom You support can never be humiliated. Glory is to You, our Lord, You are Blessed and Exalted).”

- 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.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 1233 - 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).
