وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ، قَالَ:
بِتُّ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، لِأَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ يَقْنُتُ فِي وِتْرِهِ، فَقَنَتَ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ، ثُمَّ بَعَثْتُ أُمِّي أُمَّ عَبْدٍ ؓ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: بِيتِي مَعَ نِسَائِهِ ﷺ، فَانْظُرِي كَيْفَ يَقْنُتُ فِي وِتْرِهِ، فَأَتَتْنِي فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّهُ ﷺ قَنَتَ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ

✧ I spent the night with the Prophet ﷺ to observe how he performed qunut in his witr. He performed qunut before the ruku'. Then I sent my mother, Umm 'Abd ؓ, and said to her: 'Stay overnight with his wives ﷺ and observe how he performs qunut in his witr.' She came to me and informed me that he ﷺ performed qunut before the ruku'.
