The Supplication of Qunoot in Witr Prayer

وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَنْتَ اِنْصَرَفْتَ مِنَ اَلْوَتْرِ فَقُلْ: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ اَلْمَلِكِ اَلْقُدُّوسِ اَلْعَزِيزِ اَلْحَكِيمِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا بَرُّ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا غَنِيُّ يَا كَرِيمُ اُرْزُقْنِي مِنَ اَلتِّجَارَةِ أَعْظَمَهَا فَضْلاً وَ أَوْسَعَهَا رِزْقاً وَ خَيْرَهَا لِي عَاقِبَةً فَإِنَّهُ لاَ خَيْرَ فِيمَا لاَ عَاقِبَةَ لَهُ.
Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام that He said: "When you finish the Witr prayer, say: Subḥāna Rabbīya al-Maliki al-Quddūsi al-‘Azīzi al-Ḥakīm 'Glory be to my Lord عز وجل, the Sovereign, the Holy, the Mighty, the Wise,' three times. Then say: Yā Ḥayy, Yā Qayyūm, Yā Barr, Yā Raḥīm, Yā Ghanī, Yā Karīm, urzuqnī mina at-tijārah a‘ẓamahā faḍlan wa awsa‘ahā rizqan wa khayrahā lī ‘āqibatan fa-innahu lā khayra fīmā lā ‘āqibata lahu 'O’ Ever-Living, O’ Self-Subsisting, O’ Beneficent, O’ Merciful, O’ Rich, O’ Generous, provide me with the best and most profitable trade, the widest provision, and the best outcome for me, for there is no goodness in anything that does not have a favorable end.'"
