Rather what is proven from the sahabas (r.a.a) is that thr isha'a witr qunoot is recited before the rukoo itself. This is because there is no specific sahih/hasan hadith which indicates that rasool (s.a.w) or the sahabas (r.a.a) (during their normal Isha'a witr prayer) recited the qunoot after rukoo.
