Qunoot In The Five Prayers Because Of A Calamity



"When he (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) wanted to supplicate against someone, or supplicate for someone, he would perform qunoot [236] in the last rak'ah, after rukoo'; after having said:

«Allaah listens to the one who praises Him.»[237] "He would supplicate loudly" [238], "raise his hands" [239], and "those behind him would say: aameen" [240].

"He was known to perform qunoot in all five prayers" [241], although "he would only perform qunoot in them when he supplicated for a people or supplicated against a people" [242]. For example, he once said:

«O Allaah! rescue al-Waleed ibn al-Waleed, and Salamah ibn Hishaam, and 'Ayyaash ibn Abee Rabee'ah. O Allaah! harden Your penalty on (the tribe of) Mudar, and cause for it years (of famine) like the years of Yoosuf. [O Allaah! curse Lahyaan, and Ru'l, and Dhakwaan, and 'Usayyah, who disobeyed Allaah and His Messenger!]»[243]

Then, "he would say: <<"Allaah is the Greatest when he had finished qunoot and prostrate."»[244]

[236] Qunoot: carries several meanings, e.g. humility, devotion. What is meant here is the special supplication while standing during prayer. [237] al-Bukhaaree and Ahmad.

[238] ibid. [239] Ahmad and at-Tabaraanee with a saheeh sanad. To raise the hands in qunoot is the madhhab of Ahmad and also Ishaaq bin Raahawayh, cf. Marwazee's Masaa.il (p. 23). As for wiping the face with the hands, it is not reported in this position, and is thus an innovation; as for outside of prayer, it is not authentically-reported: all that has been transmitted in this regard is either weak or very weak, as I have shown in Da`eef Abee Daawood (262) and Silsilah al-Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah (597). This is why `Izz bin `Abd as-Salaam said in one of his fatwas, "Only an ignorant person does it." See Appendix 8.

[240] Abu Daawood and Siraaj ; al-Haakim declared it saheeh, and adh-Dhahabee and others agreed. [241] Abu Daawood, Siraaj and ad-Daaraqutnee with two hasan sanads. [242] Ibn Khuzaymah in his Saheeh (1/78/2) and Khateeb in Kitaab al-Qunoot with a saheeh sanad. [243] al-Bukhaaree and Ahmad; the addition is in Muslim. [244] an-Nasaa.ee, Ahmad, Siraaj (109/1) and Abu Ya`laa in his Musnad with a good sanad.
