2ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ فِي قُنُوتِ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذَا كَانَ إِمَاماً قَنَتَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الأولَى وَإِنْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعاً فَفِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ.

Published English translation

2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Qunut (supplication after recitation) for Friday Salah (prayer), when himself being the Imam, is in the first Rak‘at. If it is performed four Rak‘at then Qunut (supplication after recitation) is in the second Rak‘at before Ruku‘ (bowing down on one’s knees).”
