Supplications of qunut in the witr

اَللّٰهُمَّ اهْدِنِيْ فِيْمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِيْ فِيْمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِيْ فِيْمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِيْ فِيْمَا اَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِيْ شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ فَاِنَّكَ تَقْضِيْ وَلَا يُقْضٰى عَلَيْكَ وَاِنَّهٗ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَّالَيْتَ، [وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ] ، تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ

O Allah! Guide me (and include me) among those You have guided, grant me well-being (and include me) among those You have granted well-being, take me into Your care among those You have taken into Your care, bless me in what You have given, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed. For You decide, and none can decide against Your (decision). Indeed, the one You befriend is never humbled, and the one You take as an enemy is never honoured. Our Lord! You are most blessed and most exalted.

1. Sahih, Sunan at-Tirmidhi, no. (464), the wording is his, Sunan Abi Dawud, no. (1425), Sunan an-Nasa'i, no. (1746), Sunan Ibn Majah, no. (1178), as-Sunan al-Kubra of al-Bayhaqi, Indian edition (2/209), where the addition in square brackets is found, and al-Albani graded it Sahih in “Asl Sifat as-Salah” (3/973). The original book does not have “و” before “إنه”, and that is so in some narrations, but we have given the wording of at-Tirmidhi, which has the best and most complete context. See also: Asl Sifat as-Salah of al-Albani (3/973).

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْٓ اَعُوْذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوْبَتِكَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لَآ اُحْصِيْ ثَنَآءً عَلَيْكَ اَنْتَ كَمَآ اَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ

O Allah! I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger and in Your pardon from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot praise You fully; You are as You have praised Yourself.

1. Sahih, Sunan Abi Dawud, no. (1427), Sunan at-Tirmidhi, no. (3566), Sunan an-Nasa'i, no. (1747), Sunan Ibn Majah, no. (1179), and al-Albani graded it Sahih in “Sahih Abi Dawud” (5/169) no. (1282).

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَلَكَ نُصَلِّيْ وَنَسْجُدُ وَاِلَيْكَ نَسْعٰى وَنَحْفِدُ نَرْجُوْ رَحْمَتَكَ وَنَخْشٰى عَذَابَكَ اِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالْكَافِرِيْنَ مُلْحَقٌ، اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّا نَسْتَعِيْنُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنُثْنِيْ عَلَيْكَ الْخَيْرَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَخْضَعُ لَكَ وَنَخْلَعُ مَنْ يَّكْفُرُكَ

O Allah! You alone we worship; for You alone we pray and prostrate; towards You alone we strive and hasten; we hope for Your mercy and we fear Your punishment; indeed, Your punishment will overtake the disbelievers. O Allah! Indeed, we seek Your help and Your forgiveness, we praise You, we are not ungrateful to You, we believe in You, we humble ourselves before You, and we separate ourselves from those who disbelieve in You.

1. Sahih Mawquf, as-Sunan al-Kubra of al-Bayhaqi, Indian edition (2/211), al-Bayhaqi graded its chain sahih, and al-Albani graded it Sahih in al-Irwa' (2/171). This supplication is reported from Umar al-Faruq (RA) in the Fajr prayer, that is, it relates to qunut an-nazilah.
