There is also the issue of people’s inclination regarding a question about the supplication before bowing in the qunut: should the imam choose one time and another time?
The Shaykh:
No, it is better not to, it is better not to single out a specific appropriate comprehensive direction. But what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught, and adding to it whatever is easy, "O Allah, guide me when You have guided, and in the Hereafter add whatever is easy of the comprehensive supplication, as You supplicate: O Allah, guide me, we seek Your help and Your guidance in the Hereafter."
