Narrated `Asim: I asked Anas bin Malik about the Qunut. Anas replied, “Definitely it was (recited)”. I asked, “Before bowing or after it?” Anas replied, “Before bowing.” I added, “So and so has told me that you had informed him that it had been after bowing.” Anas said, “He told an untruth (i.e. “was mistaken,” according to the Hijazi dialect). Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) recited Qunut after bowing for a period of one month.” Anas added, “The Prophet (peace be upon him) sent about seventy men (who knew the Qur’an by heart) towards the pagans (of Najd) who were less than they in number and there was a peace treaty between them and Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) (but the Pagans broke the treaty and killed the seventy men). So Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) recited Qunut for a period of one month asking Allah to punish them.”
