1748. It was narrated from 'Alî bin Abî Tâlib that the Prophet ﷺ used to say at the end of his Witr: Allâhumma innî a'ûdhu bi ridâka min sakhatika wa bi mu'âfâtika min 'uqûbatika, wa a'ûdhu bika minka, lâ uhsî thanâ'an 'alayka, anta kamâ athnayta 'ala nafsi (O Allâh, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath and in Your forgiveness from Your punishment. And I seek refuge in You from You; I cannot praise You enough; You are as You have praised Yourself).” (Sahîh)

Commentary
It is evident from narrations that one should recite the Qunûl supplication in Witr throughout the year. (The term Qunûl primarily signifies being constantly obedient. Qunûl Al-Witr means supplication of standing). But if one forgets, there is no need to offer the prostration of forgetfulness. Nonetheless, it is commended and is the symbol of Witr prayer. It, therefore, should not be abandoned intentionally.
