"O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord," Mujahid said: meaning, lengthen your standing in prayer.
Muhammad said: The root of al-qunut (devout obedience) is obedience. [Verses 44-48]
﴿يَا مَرْيَم اقتني لِرَبِّك﴾ قَالَ مُجَاهِد: يَعْنِي: أطيلي الْقيام فِي الصَّلَاة.
قَالَ مُحَمَّد: وأصل الْقُنُوت: الطَّاعَة. [آيَة ٤٤ - ٤٨]
