Invocations of Qunut

Question :

I am the Imam of a mosque and I request that you inform me of some recommended invocations in Witr prayer during the month of Ramadhan which I may learn and memorize.

Answer:

The Prophet taught Al-Hasan bin 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) some words to say in the Qunut of Witr and they have been narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i, At-Tirmithi and Ibn Majah, on the authority of Al- Hasan bin 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with both of them), who said: Allah's Messenger taught me words to say in the Qunut of Witr:

"Allahumm-ahdinee feeman hadait, wa 'aafinee feeman 'aafait, wa tawallanee feeman tawallait, wa barik lee feema a'atait, wa qinee sharra ma qadhait, innaka taqdhee wa la yuqdha 'alaik, wa innahu la yathillu man waalait, wa la ya'izzu man 'aadait, tabarakta rabbana wa ta'alait. (Which means:) O Allah! Guide me among those whom You have guided; and pardon me among those whom You have pardoned; and turn to me in friendship among those to whom You have turned in friendship; and bless me in what You have bestowed; and save me from the evil of what You have decreed, (for) indeed You decree and none can influence You; and he is not humiliated whom You have befriended; and he gets no honor whom You have enmity with. Blessed are You, O Lord and Exalted.

And you may add any reported invocations you wish.
