Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 72
وَ سَأَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْقُنُوتِ فِي اَلْوَتْرِ قَالَ «قَبْلَ اَلرُّكُوعِ» قَالَ فَإِنْ نَسِيتُ أَقْنُتُ إِذَا رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَقَالَ «لاَ.
Mu'awiya bin Ammar asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about the position of Qunoot (supplication) in the Witr prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: "It is done before the bowing (ruku‘)." Mu'awiya then asked: "What if I forget it?" Abu Abdullah عليه السلام replied: "No (do not perform it after lifting your head from bowing)."
