حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ وَحَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِکٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي يَا أَبَتِ إِنَّکَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيٍّ هَاهُنَا بِالْکُوفَةِ نَحْوًا مِنْ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ فَکَانُوا يَقْنُتُونَ فِي الْفَجْرِ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ مُحْدَثٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1241
Sa'd bin Tariq said: "I said to my father: 'O my father! You prayed behind the Messenger of Allah SAW and behind Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthman, and behind Ali here in Kufah for about five years. Did they recite Qunut in Fajr?' He said: 'O my son! That is an innovation.'" (Sahih).
