Q What is the reported duaa that we should recite in Al-Qunoot?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.


In this fatwa:

The Duaa of Qunoot is: “Allahumma ihdini fiman hadayta wa ‘afini fiman ‘afayta wa tawallani fiman tawallayta wa barik li fima a’tayta, wa qini sharra ma qadayta , fa innaka taqdi wa la yuqda ‘alayk, wa innahu la yadhillu man walayta wa la ya’izzu man ‘adayta, tabarakta Rabbana wa ta’alayta la manja minka illa ilayk.”

The Duaa of Qunoot was narrated by Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi), and An-Nasai from Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) taught me some words to say in Qunoot Al-Witr

Allahumma ihdini fiman hadayta wa ‘afini fiman ‘afayta wa tawallani fiman tawallayta wa barik li fima a’tayta, wa qini sharra ma qadayta , fa innaka taqdi wa la yuqda ‘alayk, wa innahu la yadhillu man walayta wa la ya’izzu man ‘adayta, tabarakta Rabbana wa ta’alayta la manja minka illa ilayk.”

(O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided, pardon me among those whom You have pardoned, turn to me in friendship among those on whom You have turned in friendship, and bless me in what You have bestowed, and save me from the evil of what You have decreed. For verily You decree and none can influence You; and he is not humiliated whom You have befriended, nor is he honoured who is Your enemy. Blessed are You, O Lord, and Exalted. There is no place of safety from You except with You).” 

The last phrase – La manja minka illa ilayka (There is no place of safety from You except with You) – was narrated by Ibn Mandah in Al-Tawhid and classed as hasan by Al-Albani. (Irwa al-Ghalil, hadith no. 426, 429)

Then he should send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). (Al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Ibn ‘Uthaymin, 4/14-52)

Almighty Allah knows best.
