Zād al-MaʿādIbn al-Qayyim

The point is that Abū Ja‘far al-Rāzī transmits objectionable reports; no hadith scholar accepts as evidence reports that he alone transmits. Even if the report were authentic, it would provide no evidence whatsoever for this particular qunūt supplication, for it does not state that qunūt means supplication. The term qunūt can mean standing, silence, sustained worship, supplication, glorification of Allah, and humble submission. Allah Most High says:

“To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth; all are devoutly obedient to Him.” [al-Rūm: 26]

Allah Most High also says:

“(8) Or one who is devoutly obedient during the hours of the night, prostrating and standing, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for his Lord’s mercy” [al-Zumar: 9].

And Allah Most High says:

“And she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was among the devoutly obedient.” [al-Tahrīm: 12]

The Prophet ﷺ said: “The best prayer is the one with the longest standing” (1). Zayd ibn Arqam said: When Allah Most High’s words, “And stand before Allah in devout obedience” [al-Baqarah: 238], were revealed, we were commanded to remain silent and forbidden to speak (2).

Anas—may Allah be pleased with him—did not say that he continued to perform qunūt after bowing, raising his voice with “O Allah, guide us among those You have guided,” and the rest of the supplication, while those behind him responded with “Amen.” Undoubtedly, saying, “Our Lord, to You belongs all praise, filling the heavens, filling the earth, and filling whatever else You will. You are worthy of praise and glory—the truest words a servant can utter” (3), together with the remainder of the supplication and praise that he used to utter, is qunūt. Prolonging this pillar of the prayer (4) is qunūt, prolonging the recitation is qunūt, and this supplication

والمقصود أن أبا جعفر الرازي صاحب مناكير، لا يحتجُّ بما تفرَّد به أحدٌ من أهل الحديث البتة. ولو صح لم يكن فيه دليلٌ على هذا القنوت المعيَّن البتة، فإنه ليس فيه أن القنوت هو الدعاء؛ فإنَّ «القنوت» يطلق على القيام، والسكوت، ودوام العبادة، والدعاء، والتسبيح، والخضوع، كما قال تعالى: ﴿وَلَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ كُلٌّ لَهُ قَانِتُونَ﴾ [الروم: ٢٦]، وقال تعالى: ﴿(٨) أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَائِمًا يَحْذَرُ الْآخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ﴾ [الزمر: ٩]. وقال تعالى: ﴿وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْقَانِتِينَ﴾ [التحريم: ١٢]. وقال ﷺ: «أفضل الصلاة طول القنوت» (١). وقال زيد بن أرقم: لما نزل قوله تعالى: ﴿وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ﴾ [البقرة: ٢٣٨] أُمِرنا بالسكوت، ونُهينا عن الكلام (٢). وأنس ﵁ لم يقل: لم يزل يقنت بعد الركوع رافعًا صوته بـ «اللهم اهدنا فيمن هديتَ» إلى آخره ويؤمِّن مَن خلفه. ولا ريب أنَّ قولَ: «ربَّنا ولك الحمد، ملءُ السموات وملءُ الأرض، وملءُ ما شئتَ من شيء بعدُ، أهلَ الثناء والمجد، أحقُّ ما قال العبد» (٣) إلى آخر الدعاء والثناء الذي كان يقوله قنوتٌ، وتطويل هذا الركن (٤) قنوتٌ، وتطويل القراءة قنوتٌ، وهذا الدعاء
