Hadith text

Narrated `Abdul `Aziz:Anas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) sent seventy men, called Al-Qurra 'for some purpose. The two groups of Bani Sulaim called Ri'l and Dhakwan, appeared to them near a well called Bir Ma'una. The people (i.e. Al- Qurra) said, 'By Allah, we have not come to harm you, but we are passing by you on our way to do something for the Prophet.' But (the infidels) killed them. The Prophet (ﷺ) therefore invoked evil upon them for a month during the morning prayer. That was the beginning of Al Qunut and we used not to say Qunut before that." A man asked Anas about Al-Qunut, "Is it to be said after the Bowing (in the prayer) or after finishing the Recitation (i.e. before Bowing)?" Anas replied, "No, but (it is to be said) after finishing the Recitation

Abdul-Aziz bataate hain: Anas ne kaha, "Nabi ne sattar logon ko bheja, jinhe Al-Qurra kaha jata tha, kisi khaas maksad ke liye. Bani Sulaim ke do giroh, Ril aur Dhakwan, unse Bir Ma'una naam ke ek kue ke paas mile. Logon (yaani Al-Qurra) ne kaha, 'Allah ki qasam, hum tumhe nuksaan pahunchane nahi aae hain, balki hum Nabi ke liye kuch karne ja rahe hain, aur tumhare yahaan se guzar rahe hain.' Magar (kaafiron) ne unhe qatl kar diya. Isliye Nabi ne ek mahine tak subah ki namaz mein unke khilaf bad-dua ki. Yehi Al-Qunut ki shuruvaat thi, aur usse pahle hum Qunut nahi kahte the." Ek shaks ne Anas se Al-Qunut ke baare mein pucha, "Kya yeh ruku ke baad kaha jata hai ya tilaawat khatm karne ke baad (yaani ruku se pahle)?" Anas ne jawab diya, "Nahi, balki (yeh) tilaawat khatm karne ke baad (kaha jata hai)."
