Ahmad ibn Muni reported from Yazid ibn Harun who reported from Abu Malik Ashja’i who said that he asked his father, “O my father! you have indeed prayed behind Allah’s Messenger (SAW) and behind Abu Bakr Umar Uthman and Ali ibn Abu Taljb (RA) here in Kufah (with last-named) about five years. Did they recite the qunut?” He said, “O son! This is an innovation.”
