The questioner : It is authentically reported from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he recited the qunut in the Fajr prayer for a calamity, so it appears that he limited it to the qunut

The questioner : It is authentically reported from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he recited the qunut in the Fajr prayer for a calamity, so it appears that he limited the qunut to the Fajr prayer; is this correct?

The Shaykh : Where did this idea come to you?

The questioner : I read it a few days ago.

The Shaykh : Excuse me, you have strayed from the answer!

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : I am not asking you: where did you take this report from?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : I told you: where did this idea come to you?

The questioner : Through the wording and phrasing he mentioned, and it is authentically reported from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he recited the qunut in the Fajr prayer for a calamity, so it appears that he limited it to the Fajr prayer?

The Shaykh : Where did you get "it appears" from, my brother?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Mentioning something does not negate what is other than it.

The questioner : Yes, meaning, why did Ibn Qudamah (may Allah have mercy on him) not say: he recited the qunut in all the prayers?

The Shaykh : Hurry up to the prayer, everyone.

The questioner : ... our Shaykh.

Another questioner : Shaykh, one person... traveling from Zarqa to Irbid... congregational prayer.

The Shaykh : I thought you were going to advise the congregation to... pray!

The questioner : ... therefore, in order to lighten it, why did he (may Allah have mercy on him) not say that he recited the qunut in all the prayers?

The Shaykh : Who is saying?

The questioner : The Imam Ibn Qudamah (may Allah have mercy on him).

The Shaykh : My brother (may Allah bless you), you must distinguish why he did not mention it.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : And between the narrator, Ibn Qudamah mentions a report that occurred to him, so instead of saying: why the narrator? you say: why Ibn Qudamah?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : This is a mistake.

The questioner : Yes (may Allah bless you), okay Shaykh, through what he mentions...

The Shaykh: No, no.

Another questioner : Why?

The Shaykh : The blessing did not fully materialize.

Another questioner : I want to ask you.

The Shaykh : I say: you must say: why did the narrator not mention the qunut?

The questioner : Okay, why did the narrator not mention it?

The Shaykh : Ah; the answer is: because the qunut in the five prayers is well-known, and what is well-known should not be mentioned, but the qunut for a calamity in the witr is not customary and not well-known; therefore the narrator mentioned this which is not well-known.

The questioner : The witr at Fajr, it is the mention of Fajr, Ibn Qudamah.

The Shaykh : Ibn Qudamah? May Allah forgive you!! My brother, we are talking about the narrator!

The questioner : Okay, did the matter get mixed up for me regarding the narrator?

The Shaykh : No, I will answer your question: why did he not mention the qunut in the five prayers?!
