Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The qunut in Fajr according to Ibn Hajar is only a concept. I am just clarifying that you mean Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani, yes.
The questioner : He mentions that the Caliphs used to recite qunut, and that ‘Uthman used to recite it before bowing so that the latecomers could catch up, and it is well known that there are many hadiths.
The Shaykh : Who used to recite qunut before bowing?
The questioner : The statement is from Ibn Hajar.
The Shaykh : The statement from Ibn Hajar is about the one who bowed before bowing to catch up.
The questioner : He used to order qunut in Fajr before bowing, and he used to do that so that the latecomers could catch up to the rak’ah, and he did not mention a chain of narration, which is unusual for him...
The Shaykh : Never, and I have not heard of it except at this moment.
The questioner : In Fath al-Bari.
The Shaykh : Allah knows best.
The questioner : In Fath al-Bari, he mentioned it regarding Fajr... and he refuted Ibn ‘Umar, saying it is a religious innovation, and he refutes him.
The Shaykh : Okay, your current statement is about qunut in Fajr, this consistent qunut all the time, and not qunut for a calamity, okay.
The questioner:...
The Shaykh : No, I know, but you are talking about Ibn Hajar, you are talking about Ibn Hajar, that he says ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan used to recite this consistent qunut today, I do not think that is the case.
The questioner : He also mentioned Abu Bakr and ‘Umar...
The Shaykh : This is another matter.
The questioner : ...but it is his custom to provide the chain of narration...
The Shaykh : Is your research on this recent or old?
The questioner : Recent...
The Shaykh : Okay, what you mention from Fath al-Bari states that the Sunnah for qunut in the five prayers is before bowing, not after bowing.
The questioner : After bowing.
The Shaykh : Okay, and how does he say that ‘Uthman used to bow before bowing in order to catch up to the rak’ah?
The questioner : In Fajr, after rising from bowing... he used to recite qunut before bowing so that the latecomers could catch up.
The Shaykh : I do not know this, and even if he mentioned it, it is incorrect because it is not found in the books of the Sunnah at all.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, never, yes, it is the doctor’s turn now.
