Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (as) said: The qunut in witr is like the qunut on Friday. You say in the supplication of qunut: “O Allah! You perfected Your light, so I was guided, so praise be to You, our Lord. You opened Your hand, so I was given, so praise be to You, our Lord. You made Your forbearance great, so I was pardoned, so praise be to You, our Lord. Your Face is the most noble of faces and Your direction is the best of direction. Your giving is the best of gifts and congratulations to us. When we obey our Lord, You are grateful. When we disobey our Lord, You forgive whomever you wish. You answer the desperate, You take away harm, You heal the ill, and You deliver from the great calamity. No one rewards like You, and none can comprehend Your blessings. O Allah! I have raised my sight to You, and I have moved my feet, stretched out my neck, raised my hands, and supplicated with my tongue for You. I have gone to Your judgment for the actions. Our Lord! Forgive us, have mercy on us, and liberate a way between us and Your creation in justice – You are the best of liberators. O Allah! We complain to You over the absence of our Prophet, the harshness of the time on us, the arrival of seditions, the dominance of enemies, the plenitude of our enemy, and our lack of numbers, so grant relief in that, our Lord, and hasten the liberation from You, glorify the victory from You, and make a just Imam appear, O God of truth and Lord of the worlds.” (Allahumma tamma nurika fahadayt, falakal hamdu rabbana, wa bassatat yadika fa a`tayt, falakal hamdu rabbana, wa `atham hilmika fa `afawtu, wa falakal hamdu rabbana. Wajhaka akram al-wujuh, wa jihtika khayr al-jihat, wa a`tayta afdal al-`atayat wa ahna'ha. Tata` rabbana fa tushkar, wa ta`sa rabbana fa tughfar liman shi'it. Tujib al-mudtar, wa tukhshaf al-durr, wa tushfa al-saqim, wa tunjee min al-karb al-`athim. La yajzi bi ala'ik ahad, wa la yuhsa ni`ma'ika qawli qa'il. Allahumma ilayka rafa`tu absari, wa naqaltul aqdam, wa madattu'l a`naq, wa rafa`tul aydi, wa da`aytu bil lisan wa tahawkum ilayk fil a`mal. Rabbana aghfir lana warhamna, waftah baynana wa bayna khaqikal haq, wa anta khayrul fatihin. Allahumma ilayka nashku ghaybata nabiyyina, wa shiddatul zaman `alayna, wa wuqu` al-fitan, wa tathahir al-a`da', wa kuthrati `aduwina, wa qillati `adadina, wafruj dhalika ya rabb bi fat'h mink tu`ajjaluh, wa nasr minka tu`izzuhuh, wa imamin `adlin tathhiruh., ilahil haq, rabb al-`alamin) Then, say in the qunut of witr after this: “I seek the forgiveness of Allah and I repent to Him” (astaghfirallah wa atubu ilayh) seventy times. Seek refuge in Allah from the Fire many times. After completing the witr after the taslim, say: “May my Lord be glorified; the King, the Holy, the Glorious, the Wise” (Subhana rabbi, al-malik, al-quddus, al-`aziz, al-hakim) three times. [Then]: “Praise be to the Lord of the morning, praise be to the splitter of the mornings” (alhamdulillah rabb al-sabah, alhamdu li faliq alasbah) three times.
