Sahih al-Bukhari 3916 (Book 64, Hadith 132)
Sulaim called Ri’l and Dhakwan, appeared to them near a well called Bir Ma’una. The people (i.e. Al-
Qurra) said, ‘By Allah, we have not come to harm you, but we are passing by you on our way to do
something for the Prophet.’ But (the infidels) killed them. The Prophet (ﷺ) therefore invoked evil upon
them for a month during the morning prayer. That was the beginning of Al Qunut and we used not to
say Qunut before that.” A man asked Anas about Al-Qunut, “Is it to be said after the Bowing (in the
prayer) or after finishing the Recitation (i.e. before Bowing)?” Anas replied, “No, but (it is to be said)
after finishing the Recitation.”

The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. The compilation known as Sahih al-Bukhari is a paramount collection of the Sunnah and hadith of the Prophet Muhammad. Its creator, Muḥammad ibn Ismā‘īl al-Bukhārī, dedicated his life to this work, completing it around 847. It holds a position of immense respect as arguably the most authentic book in Sunni Islam after the Holy Quran. As a key pillar of the six canonical books (Kutub al-Sittah), its detailed 97-chapter structure houses an estimated 7,563 narrations that continue to shape Islamic theology, law, and ethics to this day.
