Question Assalamu
Aleikum Answer Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh. First of all, we apologize for not being able to answer earlier. May Allah accept your fasting and dua' that you made during Ramadhan. There are many different dua’ that are used in the Qunoot of witr, usually based on different hadeeths from the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah upon him. The Muslim is not limited to this alone and can ask for anything that is khair for the Muslims. Each imam makes dua’ in his own way, and does not necessarily follow a certain word order or set of supplications. The following is taken from www.islam-qa.com , and provides the main section that the questioner was referring to, plus another section. http://63.175.194.25/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=20031&dgn=4 1 – The
version which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) taught to al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him), which is: “Allaahumma
ihdini feeman hadayta wa ‘aafini feeman ‘aafayta wa tawallani feeman
tawallayta wa baarik li feema a’tayta, wa qini sharra ma qadayta , fa innaka
taqdi wa la yuqda ‘alayk, wa innahu laa yadhillu man waalayta wa laa
ya’izzu man ‘aadayta, tabaarakta Rabbana wa ta’aalayta la munji minka
illa ilayk (O Allaah,
guide me among those whom You have guided, pardon me among those whom 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, nor is he honoured who is
Your enemy. Blessed are You, O Lord, and Exalted. There is no place of safety
from You except with You).” (Narrated by
Abu Dawood, 1213; al-Nasaa’i, 1725; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Irwa’,
429). It was narrated
from ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) used to say at the end of Witr: “Allaahumma
inni a’oodhu bi ridaaka min sakhatika wa bi mu’aafaatika min ‘uqoobatika
wa a’oodhu bika minka, la uhsi thana’an ‘alayka anta (Narrated by
al-Tirmidhi, 1727; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Irwa’, 430;
Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1282). Then he should
send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as
it was narrated that some of the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them)
– including Ubayy ibn Ka’b and Mu’aadh al-Ansaary (may Allaah be pleased
with them) – did that at the end of Qunoot al-Witr. (See Tasheeh
al-Du’aa’ by Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd, p. 460). |
