1243 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «كَانَ يَقْنُتُ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ يَدْعُو عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ تَرَكَ»

Commentary
a. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had recited this Qunut Nâzilah (supplication in the event of a calamity or distress) against the tribe of Mudar. They were disbelievers in those days, and created many hardships for the Muslims. b. 'He stopped doing so' means: He stopped supplicating against that particular tribe, because the Muslims living in their midst who were perceived as weak, and therefore ill-treated, had got their deliverance from them. Some of the people take such Ahâdith to mean that thenceforth he never recited the Qunut Nâzilah. This is patently wrong. We may still recite it if the situation so demands.
