حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَی عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَائَ إِذْ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ اللَّهُمَّ نَجِّ عَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ ثُمَّ ذَکَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ إِلَی قَوْلِهِ کَسِنِي يُوسُفَ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ مَا بَعْدَهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1543
Abu Salama reported it on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) recited Qunut after ruku' in prayer for one mouth at the time of reciting (these words): Allah listened to him who praised Him, and he said in Qunut: 0 Allah! rescue al-Walid b. al-Walid; O Allah! rescue Salama b. Hisham; O Allah! rescue 'Ayyash b. Abu Rabi'a; O Allah! rescue the helpless amongst the Muslims; O Allah! trample Mudar severely; O Allah! cause them a famine like that (which was caused at the time) of Joseph. Abu Huraira (further) said: I saw that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) afterwards abandoned this supplication. I, therefore said: I see the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) abandoning this blessing upon them. It was raid to him (Abu Huraira): Don't you see that (those for whom was blessing invoked by the Holy Prophet) have come (i. e. they have been rescued)?
