Anas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) sent seventy men, called Al-Qurra 'for some purpose. The two groups of Bani
Sulaim called Ri'l and Dhakwan, appeared to them near a well called Bir Ma'una. The people (i.e. Al-
Qurra) said, 'By Allah, we have not come to harm you, but we are passing by you on our way to do
something for the Prophet.' But (the infidels) killed them. The Prophet (ﷺ) therefore invoked evil upon
them for a month during the morning prayer. That was the beginning of Al Qunut and we used not to
say Qunut before that." A man asked Anas about Al-Qunut, "Is it to be said after the Bowing (in the
prayer) or after finishing the Recitation (i.e. before Bowing)?" Anas replied, "No, but (it is to be said)
after finishing the Recitation."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 132
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Halhala
ad-Dili from Muhammad ibn lmran al-Ansari that his father said that
Abdullah ibn Umar came upon him while he stopped for a rest under a
tall tree on the road to Makka, and he said, "What has made you stop
under this tall tree?" He replied that he sought it's shade. Abdullah
ibn Umar said, "Anything besides that?" and he said, "No, that was the
only. reason he stopped for a rest," and Abdullah ibn Umar said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If
you are between al-Akhshabayn (which are two mountains) near Mina,'
indicating the east with his outspread hand, 'you will find a valley
called as-Surar with a tree in it beneath which the umbilical cords of
seventy prophets have been cut.' "
