The recommendation to recite the qunut prayer during the Fajr prayer is strongly emphasized by Imam Shafi'i, and his opinion is followed by the majority of hadith scholars. His argument is based on several hadiths that serve as the basis for the recommendation to recite the qunut prayer during the Fajr prayer. "Muhammad bin Sirin said, 'I asked Anas bin Malik, 'Did the Prophet Muhammad recite qunut in the Fajr prayer?' He replied, 'Yes, briefly after bowing.' (Narrated by Muslim, Hadith number 1578)."

The two hadiths have been authenticated by Imam Nawawi in his book al-Majmu' Syarhul Muhadzdzab. In that book, Imam Nawawi said, "These hadiths are authentic, narrated by many huffazh and they consider it authentic. Among those who have confirmed its authenticity are Hafizh Abu Abdillah Muhammad bin Ali al-Balkhi, al-Hakim Abu Abdillah in several places in his books, and al-Baihaqi. The hadith is also narrated by Daraquthni from several chains with authentic chains."

"Allahummahdini fî man hadait, wa 'âfini fî man 'âfait, wa tawallanî fî man tawallait, wa bârikî fî mâ a'thait, wa qinî syarra mâ qadhait, fa innaka taqdhi wa lâ yuqdha 'alaik, wa innahû lâ yazillu man wâlait, wa lâ ya'izzu man 'âdait, tabârakta rabbanâ wa ta'âlait, fa lakal hamdu alâ mâ qadhait, wa astaghfiruka wa atûbu ilaik, wa shallallâhu 'alâ sayyidinâ muhammadin nabiyyil ummiyyi wa 'alâ âlihi wa sahbihi wa sallam."

"O Allah, guide us as You have guided those before us. Grant us good health as You have granted health to others. Protect us as You have protected those who came before us. Bless us in all that You have bestowed upon us. Save us from the dangers of evil that You have determined."

Then indeed, You are the one who judges and not subject to judgment. Then indeed, no one whom You lead is humiliated. And no one whom You oppose is honored. You are Holy, O our Lord, and You are exalted. All praise is due to You above what You have decreed. I seek forgiveness from You and I repent to You. (And may Allah) pour His mercy and peace upon our master, Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
