English translation

1002. Narrated 'Āsim: I asked Anas bin Mālik about the Qunūt. Anas replied, "Definitely it was (recited)". I asked, "Before bowing or after it?" Anas replied, "Before bowing." I added, "So-and-so has told me that you had informed him that it had been after bowing." Anas said, "He told an untruth (i.e. "was mistaken", according to the Hijāzī dialect)." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ recited Qunūt after bowing for a period of one month." Anas added, "The Prophet ﷺ sent about seventy men (who knew the Qur'ān by heart) towards the Mushrikūn(1) (of Najd) who were less than they in number and there was a peace treaty between them and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (but the Mushrikūn broke the treaty and killed the seventy men). So Allāh's Messenger ﷺ recited Qunūt for a period of one month invoking Allāh to punish them." (1) Mushrikūn: Polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad (ﷺ).

1002 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ عَنِ القُنُوتِ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ كَانَ القُنُوتُ قُلْتُ: قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ؟ قَالَ: قَبْلَهُ، قَالَ: فَإِنَّ فُلاَنًا أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ، فَقَالَ: «كَذَبَ إِنَّمَا قَنَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ شَهْرًا، أُرَاهُ كَانَ بَعَثَ قَوْمًا يُقَالُ لَهُمْ القُرَّاءُ، زُهَاءَ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا، إِلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ دُونَ أُولَئِكَ، وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهْدٌ، فَقَنَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَهْرًا يَدْعُو عَلَيْهِمْ»
