Explanation of the Book of Friday Prayer and the Two Festivals-09a

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Qutaybah narrated to us, Mughirah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah:
Whenever the Prophet (p.b.u.h) lifted his head from the bowing in the last rak`a he used to say: "O Allah! Save `Aiyash bin Abi Rabi`a. O Allah! Save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah! Save Walid bin Walid. O Allah! Save the weak faithful believers. O Allah! Be hard on the tribes of Mudar and send (famine) years on them like the famine years of (Prophet) Joseph ." The Prophet (ﷺ) further said, "Allah forgive the tribes of Ghifar and save the tribes of Aslam." أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا رفع رأسه من الركعة الآخرة يقول: اللهم أنج عياش بن أبي ربيعة، اللهم أنج سلمة بن هشام، اللهم أنج الوليد بن الوليد، اللهم أنج المستضعفين من المؤمنين، اللهم اشدد وطأتك على مضر اللهم اجعلها سنين كسني يوسف، وأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: غفار غفر الله لها، وأسلم سالمها الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 1006
Ibn Abi al-Zinad said from his father: All of this was in the Fajr prayer.

The Shaykh : In this hadith is evidence for qunut and supplicating against specific groups and for specific groups, and that this does not disrupt the prayer nor invalidate it.
It also contains that he would perform this qunut when he raised his head from the last rak'ah, so it would be in the second rak'ah in Fajr, in the fourth rak'ah in Zuhr, 'Asr, and 'Isha', and in the third rak'ah in Maghrib, and that he would not perform qunut in the first or second rak'ah except in the second rak'ah of Fajr.
It also contains the permissibility of supplicating against disbelievers, even if not in a general manner, due to his saying:
O Allah! Send your Punishment on (the tribe of) Mudar. O Allah! Let them suffer from years (of drought) similar to that inflicted during the life-time of Joseph. اللهم اشدد وطأتك على مضر، اللهم اجعلها سنين كسني يوسف
Sahih al-Bukhari 3386
and his saying:
like the years of Yusuf كسني يوسف
are seven years. The king had a dream that terrified him; he saw seven fat cows being eaten by seven lean cows, and seven green ears of grain and seven dry ones. He was frightened by this and gathered the people to interpret this dream, but they did not interpret it, saying, "These are confused dreams, and we are not knowledgeable in the interpretation of dreams." One of the two prisoners was present, so he asked the king to allow him to go to Yusuf to interpret it for him. He did so, and Yusuf said to him: "You will plant for seven years consecutively, meaning continuously. Whatever you harvest, leave it in its ear." And his saying "you will plant consecutively for seven years" means that these seven years will be fertile.
