What is the evidence for qunut in witr?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a basis for qunut in witr in the known manner? And what is the evidence?

Answer:
Yes, qunut is a recommended practice (sunnah) in the witr of the night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught al-Hasan ibn 'Ali, and the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) teaching of a person from the Companions is teaching the entire Ummah. So qunut is a recommended practice (sunnah). The believer should, when he prays the final single rak'ah, when he raises his head from ruku', raise his hands and make qunut, supplicating:
Allahumma ihdini fiman hadaytaاللهم اهدني فيمن هديت
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1745Sahih (Darussalam)
.. and whatever easy supplication comes with it, then prostrate as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did and as the Companions did. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
