1178. It was narrated that Al-Hasan bin 'Ali said: "My grandfather, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, taught me some words to say in Qunut of Witr: Allāhumma 'afini fiman 'afait, wa tawallani fiman tawallait, wahdini
fiman hadait, wa qini sharra mā qadait, wa bārik li fima a'tait. Innaka taqdi wa lā yuqda 'alaik, innahu lā yudhillu man wālait. Subhānaka rabbanā tabārakta wa ta'ālait (O Allāh, 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.)" (Sahih)

Commentary
The Hadith is silent about whether the place of Qunut is before or after Ruku' in Witr. A Hadith in Mustadrak Al-Hākīm (3/172) places it before Ruku'. However, the Hadith is 'Weak'. More authentic Aḥādīth than this place the Qunut before Ruku' which is, therefore, preferable.
