وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ، حُجْرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو - عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ خُفَافٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ خُفَافُ بْنُ إِيمَاءٍ رَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ " غِفَارُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهَا وَأَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللَّهُ وَعُصَيَّةُ عَصَتِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ بَنِي لِحْيَانَ وَالْعَنْ رِعْلاً وَذَكْوَانَ " . ثُمَّ وَقَعَ سَاجِدًا . قَالَ خُفَافٌ فَجُعِلَتْ لَعْنَةُ الْكَفَرَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ .
Khufaf b. Ima' Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him), bowed (in prayer) and then lifted his head and then said: So far as the tribe of Ghifar is concerned, Allah had pardoned it, and Allah had granted protection to the tribe of Aslam, and as for the tribe of Usayya, It had disobeyed Allah and His Messenger, (and further said): O Allah! curse the tribe of Lihyan curse Ri'l, and Dhakwan, and then fell in prostration. It is after this that the cursing of the unbelievers got a sanction.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 679b
This Hadith about Qunut in prayer gives more movement detail than some nearby reports. Khufaf b. Ima' says the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) bowed, lifted his head, then spoke words about Ghifar, Aslam, Usayya, Lihyan, Ri'l, and Dhakwan. After that, he fell in prostration. This makes the report important for searches such as Qunut after ruku, supplication before sujud, and Qunut Nazilah in Sahih Muslim. The translation also includes Khufaf's statement that cursing the unbelievers got sanction after this. The safest explanation is to keep the report tied to the exact wording: rising from bowing, making the supplication, and then prostrating.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report places this supplication after rising from bowing.
- The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) then went into prostration after the words were said.
- The narration names tribes that were praised or invoked against.
- The wording connects the action to prayer, not a separate speech outside prayer.
