informed him that it had been after bowing.” Anas said, “He told an untruth (i.e. “was mistaken,”
according to the Hijazi dialect). Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) recited Qunut after bowing for a period of one
month.” Anas added, “The Prophet (ﷺ) sent about seventy men (who knew the Qur’an by heart) towards
the pagans (of Najd) who were less than they in number and there was a peace treaty between them
and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (but the Pagans broke the treaty and killed the seventy men). So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
recited Qunut for a period of one month asking Allah to punish them.”
