حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِکٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي يَا أَبَةِ إِنَّکَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ هَا هُنَا بِالْکُوفَةِ نَحْوًا مِنْ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ أَکَانُوا يَقْنُتُونَ قَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ مُحْدَثٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 402
Abu Malik Al-Ashjai narrated: I said to my father: 'O my father! You offered Salat behind Allah's Messenger (S), Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali bin Abi Talib here in Al-Kufah for about five years. Did they say the Qunut?' He said: 'It is a newly invented matter my son.'
