according to the Hijazi dialect). Allah's Apostle recited

Qunut after bowing for a period of one month." Anas added,

one month asking Allah to punish them."

2.117:

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet recited Qunut for one

month (in the Fajr prayer) asking Allah to punish the tribes

of Ral and Dhakwan.

2.118:

Narrated Anas:

The Qunut used to be recited in the Maghrib and the Fajr

prayers.
