حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَنَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَهْرًا مُتَتَابِعًا فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ وَصَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ إِذَا قَالَ " سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ " . مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الآخِرَةِ يَدْعُو عَلَى أَحْيَاءٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ عَلَى رِعْلٍ وَذَكْوَانَ وَعُصَيَّةَ وَيُؤَمِّنُ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ .
Abdullah ibn Abbas Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the supplication (Qunut) daily for a month at the noon, afternoon, sunset, night and morning prayers. When he said: "Allah listens to him who praises Him" in the last rak'ah, invoking a curse on some clans of Banu Sulaym, Ri'l, Dhakwan and Usayyah, and those who were standing behind him said: Amen.

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1443
This Hadith about Qunut in five daily prayers gives a clear time and place for the supplication. Ibn Abbas narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم recited Qunut daily for a month in Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr. The Hadith says this happened in the last rak'ah after he said, “Allah listens to him who praises Him.” The supplication was against some clans of Banu Sulaym: Ri'l, Dhakwan, and Usayyah. Those praying behind him said Ameen. The teaching is direct: in this report, Qunut was made after rising from bowing, in the final rak'ah, and the congregation joined by saying Ameen.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report mentions Qunut in all five prayers for one month.
- The timing given is after rising from bowing in the last rak'ah.
- People behind the Prophet said Ameen to the supplication.
- The narration names the specific groups mentioned in the dua.
