Then stand for the third Rak'ah, read al-Fatihah and then a Surah.

In it he verifies that ~Abdullaah ~~ used to read al-lkhlas in the last Rak'ah of Witr then raise his hands and read Qunut before Ruku']?
?Read the Qunut? (Ibrahim said, "Read in Qunut of Witr: Allaahumma Inna nasta'inuka wa nastaghfiruka.

?and upon completion? ('Alqamah narrates that Ibn Mas'ud RA and the Sahabah RA of Rasulullaah SAW used to read Qunut in Witr before Ruku'. Ibn Abi Shaybah ~383/3)1 'Abdurrahman bin al-Aswad narrates from his father that when Ibn Mas'ud RA completed his Qira-ah, he read Takbir and then Qunut. Thereafter he made Takbir and Ruku'.
