Proof for reciting Dua e Qunoot in Witr Salaah

Q: A person wanted to know what is the daleel (proof) for reading the Dua e Qunoot which the Hanafis recite in Witr Salaah. He was saying that he hasn't found this Dua in the Sihaah Sittah. (The person looks to be reading Islamic literature maybe by himself, currently he is spending some time with us in Jamaat). 

A: The dua appears in Sharh Ma`aanil Aathaar, Musannaf Ibnu Abi Shaybah, Ibnus Sunni, and in Maraaseel Abi Dawood.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
