حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ الرَّازِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِىُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِى كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَنَتَ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَةِ فِى صَلاَةٍ شَهْرًا إِذَا قَالَ « سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ». يَقُولُ فِى قُنُوتِهِ « اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِى يُوسُفَ ». قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- تَرَكَ الدُّعَاءَ بَعْدُ فَقُلْتُ أُرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَدْ تَرَكَ الدُّعَاءَ لَهُمْ - قَالَ - فَقِيلَ وَمَا تَرَاهُمْ قَدْ قَدِمُوا؟.

It was narrated from Abu Salamah that Abu Hurairah told them that the Prophet (s.a.w) said Qunut after bowing in prayer for one month. When he had said: "Allah hears those who praise Him," he said in his Qunut: "O Allah! Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid. O Allah! Save Salamah bin Hisham. O Allah! Save 'Ayyash bin Abi Rabi'ah. O Allah! Save the weak and oppressed believers. O Allah! Punish Mudar severely. O Allah! Send upon them a famine like the famine of Yusuf." Abu Hurairah said: "Then I saw that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had stopped saying this supplication afterwards. I said: 'I see that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) has stopped praying against them.' It was said: 'Do you not see that they have come?'"
