    Default Best method/version for making qunut in witr in the Hanafi madhhab?



    As I'm sure many of you are aware, there are various different du'as read for qunut in the witr. I would just like to know which has been the most recommended by our Hanafi 'ulama (if there is one considered superior, that is) in order to maximize my reward, insha Allah.

    This is the version I know and recite, and I think it is rather popular:

    اللهم إنا نستعينك ونستغفرك ونؤمن بك ونتوكل عليك ونثني عليك الخير ونشكرك ولا نكفرك ونخلع ونترك من يفجرك اللهم إياك نعبد ولك نصلى ونسجد وإليك نسعى ونحفد ونرجوا رحمتك ونخشى عذابك إن عذابك بالكفار ملحق

    Some common variations I've seen in this version are the addition of " كل " after " ونثنى عليك الخير " ; the switching of order of " ونرجوا رحمتك " and " ونخشى عذابك " ; the addition of " جدا " in the phrase " إن عذابك (جدا) بالكفار ملحق " ; and there seems to be versions with mulhaq (fath al ha) or mulhiq (kasr al ha).

    Then, there is the version from Nur al-Idah (which, even when being taught Nur al-Idah, is not usually taught it seems, but rather the above version is taught?):

    اللهم إنا نستعينك ونستهديك ونستعفرك ونتوب اليك ونؤمن بك ونتوكل عليك ونثني عليك الخير كله نشكرك ولا نكفرك ونخلع ونترك من يفجرك الله إياك نعبد ولك نصلي ونسجد واليك نسعى ونحفد نرجو رحمتك ونخشى عذابك إن عذابك الجد بالكفار ملحق وصلى الله على سيدنا النبي وآله وسلم

    It's similar, but also includes the salawat (which I've seen in many of the qunut duas for other madhahib).

    There is, of course, the famous du'a, the qunut of Sayyiduna Hasan b. 'Ali,:

    اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ، وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ، وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعطَيْتَ، وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ، [وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ]، تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ


    And of course, there are others, but I mainly want to know which is the best for a Hanafi to recite. I have heard from at least one Hanafi that we should recite the first one, as well as the qunut of Hasan, and the salawat.

    In Nurul Idah it states that one should recite the duaa that is related from Ibn Mas'ud (ra).

    A fatwa quoted this from Musannaf ibn Abi Shayba:

    حدثنا ابن فضيل ، عن عطاء بن السائب ، عن أبي عبد الرحمن ، قال : علمنا ابن مسعود أن نقرأ في القنوت : اللهم إنا نستعينك ونستغفرك ، ونثني عليك الخير ، ولا نكفرك ، ونخلع ونترك من يفجرك ، اللهم إياك نعبد ، ولك نصلي ونسجد ، وإليك نسعى ونحفد ، نرجو رحمتك ونخشى عذابك ، إن عذابك الجد بالكفار ملحق – المصنف لابن أبى شيبة (4/518) المجلس العلمي

    Imaam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullâh) said: "Stick to the narrations and the way of the salaf, and beware of the newly invented matters for all of it is innovation" (Sawnul Muntaq of as-Suyuti pg.32)
