Hadith #79
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي يَا أَبَتِ إِنَّكَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيٍّ هَاهُنَا بِالْكُوفَةِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ أَكَانُوا يَقْنُتُونَ قَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ مُحْدَثٌ

English Translation
Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us, he said: Abū Mālik informed us. He said: I said to my father: 'O father, you prayed behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and Abū Bakr, and ʿUmar, and ʿUthmān, and ʿAlī here in Kūfah for about five years. Did they used to make the qunūt (supplication in Fajr prayer)?' He said: 'O my son, that is an innovation.'
