hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala so you will
mousseline wider early he was Safi or Barak or seldom at the Sleeman
Kathira on Ilario Medina another
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim in this next session until until Doha prayer,
what we'll be covering is we'll be going through some of the main
points of the solid.
And we'll be discussing how those things are proven from the Quran
and the Sunnah. We don't have time to go through every single issue
in great detail, or to even cover the major differences, or to even
cover all of the differences of opinion we will be covering just
the major differences of opinion or we're going to go through the
press. So let's start from
when you start the prayer, near is necessary.
Intention is necessary. You can't just go like this and start doing
certain actions. You have to have intention. Right you have to have
intention. And we learn that from very famous verse in the Quran,
Allah O'Meara Ilaria who law her meclizine Allahu deen and they
will not commanded except that they worship Allah subhana wa Tada
mostly see in Allahu deen and, single mindedly sincerely
dedicating
themselves and what they're doing for the deen when of cutting away
from everything else from any other objective or any other deity
and make it purely for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. So we
learned the importance of Nia from that, and from a hadith about
enamel armor orbignya, the famous Hadith related by Imam Bukhari and
others that verily, actions are according to their intentions.
Then,
facing the Qibla, for example, we learned that again from another
verse in the Quran, why to not consume for when Lou would you
have come shutaura wherever you may be face in the direction of
the Qibla.
Chakra who in that direction, according to there's some
difference of opinion here. According to some Allah ma, you
have to face what you think is the Qibla directly, there's no leeway
in terms of this many degrees concession here or there, there's
no leeway in certain methods, like the shaft is cool. For example, in
the Hanafi school, we've got a 45 degree leeway, both to the right
and the left. So essentially, you've got a 90 degree angle in
which you could pray. And the reason they say that, the reason
they the way they work that out is shutter means direction. Direction
means that imagine you have a beam coming out of your forehead. And
on top of the Kaaba, there is a horizontal line that is going
left, right and left, as long as the beam that's coming out of your
head, right imaginary beam, like a laser beam or something as long as
it can dissect or, or intersect with that line that's going across
the Kaaba, like if that's the line there, and your beam can touch it
in any of those directions, it means you're within the leeway.
Right? And they've taken that based on the fact that it's the
direction because it's very difficult to get it right. So you
have to allow it now. 45 degrees is the maximum if you're off more
than 45 degrees, it's going to be a problem. Right? It's not going
to be valid, then.
As I said, for every little action of the prayer, there's going to be
some evidence, but we don't have the time to go through everything.
For example, when something as simple as when you're standing,
we're normally told to keep our gazes. Where do we keep our gazes
when we're standing
in the place where you're going to prostrate. Now have you I've got a
friend who is a Maliki and this is the way they this is the way he
used to pray. Allahu Akbar, put his hands on the side. And he
looks straight forward and to the front wall or in front of him.
They don't look down. Right, which was really strange to see it
because we always in the Hanafi school looked down. But that's the
Maliki opinion. Our evidence though, is something that's
related by Mumbi happiness and Cobra, were also the Allahu Anhu
said Rasulullah sallallahu. If some said Yeah, and this Oh, Anis
H al Hasakah. Hate to test should
keep your gaze where you're going to prostrate,
keep your gaze where you're going to prostrate. So that's where we
learned that from. So this is not just some something arbitrary
that's made up. There's obviously a logical reason for that. Because
normally, if you're looking down, if you look, if you're looking
closer to your feet, you'll have to really like put your head down,
which is not natural.
At the same time, if you're looking at where you're going to
prostrate, that's probably the most natural posture that also
keeps it within within reason as well, because if you had to look
everywhere else, you could be distracted.
That's why in the Hanafi school, it's allowed to pass in front of
someone. If it's beyond three rows, the row that the person is
Spring in the next row and the third row beyond that, because
normally the arc of vision if you're looking correctly at the
right place of frustration, your arc of vision that we have where
we can see a bit beyond that is going to normally include up to
three rows so anybody passing beyond that won't be distracting
to us in the shower phase is actually allowed to pass in front
of one row right? So there are these differences of opinion but
as you can see, there's evidence evidence for it. Then
there is another Hadith actually from ignore Ibis or the Allah one,
which is related by us burhani Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
either stuff to have solid, well were Yoshikazu be Borsari Illa
Modi, Risa God, that when when the Prophet said that when the
prophets Allah and Mr. Started solid, then he described a number
of other things and he said that his his vision used to be in the
place of his sister in his prostration.
Now why does the Imam have to do the Kebede allowed? It's actually
watching for the Imam to say that that barrel out if he doesn't do
it, he has to do something to sow that means the frustration of
forgetfulness. But we get that from another evidence which is
related by be happy against when Cobra sorry, dibutyl Hadith, he
says that once Abu Huraira the Allahu Anhu was not there, he was
absent. And I will say that who do you know, the Allah one who led
the prayer. And he said that the Creator allowed
when he started the prayer and when he did Riku as well. So
that's been a tradition. And obviously it's logical as well,
like the IMA you need to know when the Imam is moving. However, you
have to realize just the sight point, what you're following is
primarily not his sound, but his movement.
Right. Keep that in mind, what you're obligated to follow the
fundamental is the movement of the Imam, not the sound, but the sound
is like a sign that he's moved from one posture to the next.
Because if your thought far away, or in another room, and you're
only the sound is coming through, you're going to have to go with
the sound. But why I mean, why I say this is for example, if you
come late, and the Imam is in Ragu, many Imams have a habit of
saying semi many, many humans have a habit of saying going up most of
the way or half the way up from ruku and then saying semi Allah,
Holloman Hamidah, some even I've seen they'll go all the way up and
then relaxed. This is somebody I don't even have either standing
up. Now,
if you've come late, you have to catch the imam in ruku and you
have to be in ruku as well for you to have caught that raka
if the Imam has gone up more than halfway where he can touch his
knees anymore, then he's not in ruku and if you go in Roku after
that your Roku and the moms Roku has not coincided. So don't go by
what they say. Because as I said many moms they don't say so me I
love Hulu and Hamid although that's recommended to start the
thicker from where you start your movement and end it when you end.
Allahu Akbar, not Allahu Akbar. But Samir Allah holy man Hamidah.
But the reason why some Imams do take it easy, not too much. But
you know some is because some people who are praying behind,
they like to do it faster than the EMA. So if the Imams are similar,
they'd like to be alone up there already. Right? So that's a
problem. So that's why it's fine for some of them. So I'm saying
that when you want to catch the imam in that room in that raka Be
careful. Right so if you know the Imam, you should know if it's your
local Imam how he does these things, so you know how to deal
with it. We'll cover that a bit more later. Anyway.
When we start the prayer, we lift our hands that is related from
ignore and ignore Ibis or the Allahu anhu, that a Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, to refer to Pharaoh ad v sub Rima,
Walton. One of them is if data is solid, that the hands are lifted
in seven different places, not in solid, but seven different places
throughout to make dua or for whatever reason, wherever you
should raise your hands for some kind of worship. One of them is
when the solid begins. And that is a Hadith that's related by Imam
Taha initiative Emanuel Athar.
Another one is 111 100
incident libido, he relates that ritonavir sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam Hina if data has solid Rafa IE, when he started a prayer, he
raised his hand. So that again, a proof from there, there's a number
of other
number of other proofs, Abu Huraira, the Allahu Anhu relates
in a hadith of Timothy, that when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said Allahu Akbar, for the degree, he spread his fingers, so
it's not to keep them completely like that. But
according to this, it was spread like this, it was spread.
Now we've got a difference of opinion as to whether they should
be lifted up to the shoulders as the shuffle is due or up to the
ears as the Hanafis do for example. So
Our dedied is again from what if Nergal or the hola Juan he says
that he sort of sort of Allah salAllahu Salam when starting the
prayer or offer a day he he raised his hand had taka a Bahama? Who to
have the Shama that will donate he, such that his two thumbs, they
were really close to being in level with the lobes of his ears.
So that's the deal that we have the Chavez have another deal. For
the women, they'll do it differently. They they only raise
it up to their chest, because there's another super imposing
factor on there, which is that that is less exposing of them to
be raising the hands. Just raise it up to them. It's really cool.
That's it, right? You don't have to raise up to the IRS. This
narration of what Eleanor was related from sunnah necessity, and
a Buddha wood and a number of others.
Then, you know, there's even the Lille for making sure the palms
are not like this, but facing the table. So you've got a hadith of
Argo like neuroma that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
when one of you starts the prayer, he should raise his hand and he
should face with the inner palm, he should face the Qibla with it,
because Allah subhanaw taala is in front of him. When you're praying
towards Allah subhanaw taala. This is related by by tabon in his
margin will offset and be hockey in his Sunon Cobra. Now you have
to remember another thing you're not seeing many Buhari are Muslim.
But that's fine. Everybody goes with these Hadith, because
not every sahih Hadith for that matter is in berhadiah, Muslim,
there are many other books that have sahih Hadith as well, we have
to get that right. Number two.
If there's no Hadith if there is no sahih Hadith, but there is a
weak Hadith that tells us how the hand should be. Should we go with
that? Or should we go with what we think we should do? Let's just say
that we're deciding how to pray. There is no authentic narration
about how to place the pawns. We know that they have to play place
up to there, but whether they should can be like this, or like
that, or like this. What are we going to go with?
Should we just go with what we think we should do? Or should we
go with a weak narration? At least the weak narration there's some
basis to it. Even though it's not Sahai, and not everything in our
deen is based on Saheeh narrations, you have to realize
that, for example, the mountain movie in one chapter, he mentioned
a hadith that is sorry, for that particular topic. And he says he
comments Imam telling me these collection is interesting, because
you mentioned the Hadith, and then he comments about it as to who has
used this hadith as evidence or who has acted upon it. So he says,
nobody has taken this hadith. Nobody has practitioner lies this
hadith operationalised. It used it for a particular. Then, in the
next section, he mentions a hadith that is weak. That seems to be
slightly different explaining something different to the first
one. It's a weak Hadith he says Hadith on the iPhone, but he
mentions that this is where all of the Allama follow. So you have to
realize that this fallacy that's been created out there that you
can only follow sahih Hadith and literally the weak Hadith needs to
be thrown away as such. And that's why you had you had scholars, as
such who've taken the books of the great Hadith collectors like
telemovie, and Abu Tao, and others. And they've sifted and
said, Okay, these are the Sahai ones, you can only take these and
the dark ones will put them on another side. That's a big
injustice. Yes, we need to realize this is a this is a dive. We can
use this for proofs of what to believe in and what not to believe
in, for example, but when you don't have a hadith about how to
place the fingers, I mean, I'm sure we're going to just take that
instead of our own opinion. Otherwise, somebody's going to say
face it that way someone's going to face I think we should face it
that way. Why I can have a justification, right? Face it that
way, face it this way, face it out. Let's be a bit exotic, right?
So it's kind of weird. Take a dive at least when there's no sahih
Hadith
the way the hands are placed now in the prayer right there's a
difference of Imam Malik Imam Malik. He has two opinions but one
of his famous opinions which is for followed in Mauritania, for
example. Whereas the market medic is they follow that? Most of them
follow that you you tie your hands but his other opinion is that you
keep them on the side. This is what the fifth of Jaffa Jaffa is
the fifth Jaffery people do as well as Shiites. Right they keep
it on the site as well. Mr. Malik's opinion is that as well.
Now he has some authority. He said he saw some Sahaba somebody doing
this, but there's no you know, clear Hadith about that. But we're
not going to argue with that. The main point is that how do you how
do you put the fingers together? There are different
had some say the solar solar cells and the way the hands were placed
one on top of the other on the palm, or the say on the, the
forearm. Now,
the way the Hanafis do it is like this, you've got the concave of
your palm, right of this part of the circle, and you've got this
part here. They fit perfectly. Right, and you tie like this with
the three. What this does is, you've got one narration that says
that it was on the palm, you've got another one that says he was
on the forearm, if you do it this way. It basically takes all of
them into consideration. So the person who the Sahaba was
narrating it, he probably saw it this way. He just focused on
saying it was on here. But I mean, was it like this? Was it like
this? Or was it like this? When you look at all of the narrations,
we find that this is the best way because it takes all of them into
consideration. Right. And the hadith is one element of her job.
There's many narrations from what Elena hudgell He was really
focused on. Relating Hadith Hadith about the prayer about the solid.
So he says
the undrawn Allah Rasulullah sallallahu MKV Usili he said, I'm
going to go and look at the way Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
performs his prayer call if another to La he calm Africa
borrower of IUD he had heard that we're gonna use the mobile data
yet the whole uma Allah Vatika fail usara were rusty was it so he
says exactly how the promise Allah son did it how he raised his
hands. And then he said he placed his right over the back of his
left and his wrist and his forearm. So essentially, in this
generation, he's saying that above the law, some placed his hand over
the over the exterior part of this palm, then
of this hand, the wrist as well as the side which means the forearm
so this can be the only way that you could do that. Right? So
that's where we get it from.
And that hadith is related by Sahib, no Hepburn and Sunnah
necessity. Now the one that says he used to put it on his forearm,
that's another Hadith that's related by Buhari, right? But it
just tells you that he placed it on his on his forearm that is
related from side to side, or the Allah one, that gun and Natsu you
Marina. And that hadith is kind of general that people were told,
were ordered to put their right hand on the left wrist on the left
forearm, in solid, but that's vague. And in the in the way we do
it. That's happening anyway. So as you can see, it's a it's a
reconsideration of all of the narrations. Now the fact that it
has to be below the navel. That's something we'll look in a bit more
detail later. But the Hadith that we have there is again from what
11 Or the Allah one, he said, I saw a suit allah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam putting his right hand on his left in solid beneath his
navel. Now remember, that's for men, right beneath his navel. So
that's one Hadith that's related by Musa ibn Abi Shaybah. But
there's another Hadith from it. Rhodiola one. He said, Men assume
that if you Salah it's of the Sunnah in prayer,
which means he must have seen this from Rasulillah Salam directly
because you can't make a claim like that. It's from the prophetic
way in prayer, to what will aquafeed al Aquafit at the surah
to place the palm on the other palm beneath the navel.
That hadith is related by Musa Fibonacci Shaybah and a number of
others as well. Subhanak Allahumma B Hamdi, Kavita Baraka smoko a
dialogic Dukkha wella hollybrook That's the DUA the opening to avi
reads, The Shafi is read in new ejector which he had led Fatah
Sama, you will know the honey phone, and I mean, in Michigan,
they read a different door. Again, both of them I find the deal for
this one is related from Abu Seidel Hadiya. The hola Juan, he
says that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, whenever he
would start the prayer, he would read this dua
and that is related in Sudan and they say, then there's another
Hadith from Abba
from Omar Abdullah hubub, or the Allah one, that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would read this dua aloud Subhanak
Allahumma Byham, the Cotabato customer with the alleged Bukola
Ladoke that's related in Sahih Muslim.
So maybe he read it aloud to teach the people that da net he made it
silent afterwards because eventually it was silent. Only the
fact that was recited loudly then.
So there's a number of narrations about that as well. There's
durations for reading out with a biller. See you only read through
the biller if you are the one who's reading so if you're reading
alone, or if you're reading as the email during behind the Imam, you
don't need that with a biller. So there's the link for that as well.
There's the deal for Bismillah as well. Now
Shaeffer is read Bismillah aloud. The Hanafi is don't and neither do
the Maliki's. The reason is, it's all based on whether Bismillah is
part of Surah Al Fatiha or not.
Now, the Hanafi is anomeric is they say Surah Al Fatiha begins
from Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. Bismillah is written for
Baraka, and as a separator between two sources. It's not a pot, it's
not an iron of the of the surah itself. Shafi say no, it's the
iron of the surah. So if you look in Quran that are scripted, based
on that opinion, it will say Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim one,
so that will be considered the first Aya then Alhamdulillah
Robbie datamine will be the second higher based on that. If if
Bismillah is part of Fatiha, you have to read it aloud because you
have to read Alhamdulillah aloud so they read, they say Bismillah R
Rahman and Rahim Al Hamdulillah, your Benard I mean, they'll start
like that, the Hanafi say low and ematic is don't say it at all.
Right? Because medic is do not consider Bismillah to be part of
the Quran like that. The the Hanafi is kind of in between we
say it's part of the Quran, in a general sense that it's there for
baraka and to separate but it's not part of the surah. So our
first verse will be Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. But here
you go.
It's related in a hadith of Madonna. We will not be Shaybah
that Abdullah, Radi Allahu Han.
It's related from him that Ghana up Bismillahirrahmanirrahim well
is the other one I've been a little hands that he used to say
these three silently. Abdullah Abdullah muscles of the Allah one.
Now.
The other day a person came to me. And he said that
I must have read a very short surah
in one of us a prayer maybe
after the fatwa, he said, Sheikh Imam, you know, I couldn't finish
my sewer today.
I said, Why are you reading for anyway?
He says, I said, What were you reading? He said, I read fatty and
then I read a surah. I said, Why are you reading sort of said, it's
in a hadith.
I said that's true. But that relates to the individual who's
praying not behind the Imam, because you know, when the Shafi
is under humbly, say that you must read Fatiha.
Right even behind the Imam. It's only Fatiha they mean not a surah
right only 30 Ah
this hadith is quite clear here. It's related by Imam Abu Dawood,
Sahih, Muslim, and so on, or by the image of Simon throw the
Allahu Anhu relates
from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Last salata, Lehmann
lamea crop beef TRTL kita B fossa Eden, color Sufian, lemon Usili.
Why the whole
so what the prophets Allah some said, there is no prayer or that
what does that mean? The prayer isn't valid. It's not complete for
the one who does not recite the 30 hetero Kitab which means sorbitol,
Fatiha fossa, Aiden and some more.
How much more we say three small verses are one long verse, So and
some more
Soufiane then clarifies who's the narrator? Lehmann Usili whadda who
this refers to the one who's praying alone.
Because the one who's praying behind the Imam, the Imam is doing
the Kira for him anyway. Okay.
This hadith is related by Abu Dhabi. And in Sahih, Muslim and an
essay and a few others. There's another Hadith which is a bit more
clear from Hussein and Julio, the Allah one in which he says there
is no prayer for the one who doesn't read Al hamdu and a surah.
But it's not an obligation to read a story. It could be three verses,
because we learned from other Hadees that Surah here refers to
something reading something, although it's a sunnah to read,
complete Surah as in your prayer, because whenever you hear about
sola, sola from here at this sort of that sort of it's always
complete Surah as he hardly ever read just bits from here or there.
I mean, remember the Allahu Anhu used to read surah at the use of
Infigen.
That's about half pages long. Can you imagine how long they used to
take? Right? And we cry if it's more than 10 minutes, or seven
minutes, but Surah Yusuf Subhan Allah write the whole store I must
have been amazing.
Right now,
the Hadith which speak about not praying behind the Imam. I'm going
to cover some of them here. We might speak about it a bit more
detail later, but it's related from Mohammed ImmunoCAP
al karate
when Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to read in the
salats
the people behind him
would respond to him.
Right? What does that mean? He said, When he would say Bismillahi
Rahmani Raheem, then they would say Bismillah
until the Fatiha would end and the surah then so initially people
would say the same thing.
Fatiha, they would say the Fatiha as well. So it seems like he was
teaching them it was educational, then sama Netherlands. Then the
verse was revealed what either Korean Quran have a steamy ruler
who unsettle Allah Contura moon, that when the Quran is being
recited, then remain silent.
And listen carefully. So that you are given mercy for Cora for Cora
avanzato. So then they would read sorry, the professor also would
read and they would remain silent. So, that's why we remain silent.
Initially, it was there that they used to read as well just so that
they could learn from Sula then then when they've learned and they
remain silent, it blow Tamia. Rahim Allah says, What Cole
jumhooree What was Saheeh the opinion of the majority that when
the imam is reading you do not read? That is the Saheeh opinion.
Because Allah subhanaw taala says, And he mentioned this particular
verse, and then he says that Imam Ahmed has mentioned that there's a
consensus that this verse was revealed about salats about
recitation in Salah, so it's not about like in a gathering or
something if the Quran is being recited don't read, but it's
actually about solid. This is related in the photo human
Potamia, volume 22, page 150 Bubbles if that is solid. There's
a number of other Hadith about that as well. For example, is
related from Java 11. Abdullah, the Allah one that a person was
reading behind the Imam behind Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam in the harasser. Somebody made a sign to him, you know, like
sign to him that don't read, but he refused and he carried on
reading. When he finished.
He got angry another person, meaning he says attend Hurney an
alcohol fun Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is telling me I can't
read behind Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam. So this discussion
took place between them and you know, Rasul Allah, Allah some
heard that they were arguing about something. So the roast Allah some
said mon Salah Khalifa Immerman for inna Pirata Al Imam Isla, who
Kira
whoever prays behind the Imam, the Imams Kira is his Kira, which
means it's sufficient.
You don't have to pray behind the Imam.
So since you've got these narrations, that's why we don't
read behind the Imam.
Right. And even the chef is when they have to read the Fatiha. They
find ways of doing that. Some say that if the Imam isn't going to
give you time, then as soon as you start quickly read it.
Quickly read it so that you minimize your time where you don't
listen to the email. Another narration which is related by in
the motto of Imam Malik, so this is a very short narration to
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam it's a very authentic
regeneration. Abdullah Abner Amara, the Allahu Anhu says that
whenever he was questioned,
Al Yatra had unhealthful Imam should anybody read behind the
email?
He said he would respond either Salah Hadoken harmful imam for
hast boo Cara atoll Imam whenever ever any of you read behind the
Imam the Imams reading is sufficient for you. But what
either Salah wider if you're praying alone, then he should read
and Abdullah Ahmadi Allah one would never read behind that.
But as you can see, there was some difference of opinion there which
gives room for the chef is to have their opinion. What indicates
this? Is that Abu Huraira the Allah one who relates Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, either Connell imamo, Allah you
will move do Brd him Allah Tallinn for Kulu Amin, when the Imam says
laid in Mordovia humara Don in and you say I mean, if you're also
reciting then why don't you just say I mean after your own. So it's
saying listen to the Imam when he finishes reading then you say I
mean
that hadith was related in Buhari right now. Why 11 100 Again, he
relates that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
No, he really he prayed he prayed with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam further, Mercado available. Do you want to darling call me
half of the beholder who?
He prayed behind the soul of allah sallallahu alayhi salam prophets
Allah made his red legal macdaddy Humala, Darlene and then he said,
I mean, but he made it really low.
That's the deal to show that it's done silently, even by the Imam.
This hadith is related in Muslims of Abu Dhabi, that piracy Musa
But Oberon is more general Kabir and others. There are other Hadith
we'd say that I mean was said aloud. There is the response we
give is that that was said aloud a few times in the beginning just to
teach people like like before and then after that it was made low.
So again, it's a difference of opinion on what's better anyway,
not about what's right and not right
now going into Roku, worker who Mercury make Roku with those who
make requests Allah mentions in the Quran. But there's another
Hadith that's related by Bihari from Abu Huraira, the Allah one,
that when Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam would stand for the
prayer he would make that clear. When he would stand somewhere you
can be Rohini or Cara, then he would make beer when going into
coop. So that tells us that you have to you should make Roku TV
when you go into court as well.
How to make record now?
Do you place your hands on your knees above the knees?
Between the knees because there is a Hadith of Abdullah Masuda deal
and I used to place the hands his two palms between the knees like
this. But nobody's followed that. Because it contradicts what the
majority have related. Right? So Anessa the Allahu Anhu relates
that
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said to him now, if you remember
us was the servant of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, he stayed with
him for 10 years in Madina Munawwara so he grew up in front
of him and he used to always help him out so Rasul Allah, Allah was
to correct his prayer. And since you're born a year, oh my son,
either or Carter, when you make ruku for dark halfacre Allahu
Akbar take, put your palms on your knees. Well for REG Boehner or
Sabik and spread your fingers so don't put them like this, but
spread your fingers.
What if your DECA and jam bake and make sure your hands are not
touching the sides so they so they apart from your side, the best
route to make is the one where you keep your hands totally straight.
Grip your knees whether your back is totally straight, and your legs
are totally straight, you will get a perfect right angle and you will
get these hands in support in between. Keep your back straight
and you need some practice some some people have like stooped
back, keep your head and everything straight, you'll get
the perfect ruku if you hold tight exactly like this, this hadith is
related by Toblerone margin and also this margin was severe. Tell
me the IP no Hepburn and a number of others.
Now for women, it's different. And we'll discuss that when we discuss
the difference between men and women spread.
They don't grip their knees, they actually keep their hands above
their knees. Right? And they kind of just go down slightly. They
don't have to go down fully and spread the way I talked about the
men doing it.
But then you've got the Hadith for the TSB of the ruku Subhanallah
bilim Subhanallah related from who they follow the Allahu unsuited to
be dealt with, and so on. I'm not going to go through all of them in
detail. There's even narrations about how many times so you've got
narrations for everything. Right now, when you're praying behind
the Imam, the Imam will say semi Allah who the man Hamidah
and the follower say Robina well I can handle Robin Allah Callahans
you don't say something Allah as well. And the Imam only has to say
send me Allah but he can say Robin I will look at him as well. And
Hadith there is
related by Buhari from Abu Huraira, the Allah Han that also
Allah salAllahu alayhi salam, when he would stand to pray, he will
make tech be when he would stand, you would make the clear when
going in ruku then he would say Samir, Allah William and Hamidah.
Which means Allah has heard those who have praised him.
Now, I wanted to clarify here there's some people who make a
mistake here they say some, they read this as semi Allah halimun
Hamidah.
Right. So may Allah has given me the that's wrong. Is Hamidah who
so if you stop is Hamidah
right. It's not Hamid da it's not Hamedan become with Elif, its
Samir Allahu Lehmann Hamidah with a heart at the end. Right. So if
you've got that as an issue corrected,
so he would read that when he was told by whom in Urraca when he
would move his back up when he would raise his back from the ruku
sama Yeah, cool. Well, we'll call him immune Robin Allah can hunt
and then he would read Robin our letter I'm standing up so the Imam
can read that as well. But the Mukhtar the only reads Robina
Allah can hunt.
A big problem for Hanafis especially the subcontinent
Hanafis
and this is a critical mistake. I said I was gonna mention these
things afterwards.
But I think we should mention it now.
Big problem.
Person goes into
Roku
stands up to go in such that this does it isn't Roku you got the
spirit of Robo Subhanallah Subhanallah Subhanallah de la
theme Subhanallah leam sent me I love anyone hanging out I've been
in LA hook
they don't stay up there. I don't know they've got something against
it. So they don't go up. They kind of just about go up touchdown go.
It's ridiculous. Do you know that every time you do that you have to
do set that to sow and if you do it on purpose, you have to
actually repeat your prayer. Because it's a word you have to
stand there until all the parts of your body become motionless.
If you see none subcontinent Hanif ease they or others, they do this
properly. Well, I can't speak for everybody. I don't know what Turks
do and Malaysians doing, you know, can only speak for subcontinent
people. Right? That means India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, maybe Burma,
Afghanistan, you know, that area, right, which is highly represented
here. Right? So this is a big issue. It's wajib.
And in the Shafi school, it's fun to stand up properly. So that's
why they do it. Because the prayer would break. But for us, it's
wajib. Which means the prayer would be incomplete. It'd be
valid, right? Because it's not afforded According to us, but
that's based on a hadith where a person came in to the masjid it
was out of salata personal Olson was there.
It's a Buhari, Hadith Buhari, he came in,
quickly prayed. Right, came to the sudo Allah and Allah Salam, Salam
Alikum personas a Y equals Salam, calm for solidly for in the kalam
to suddenly go stand up, go and pray again because you haven't
prayed. Poor man went back, prayed again the same way came back As
salam o alaikum. Prophets, Allah some said was salam gave Salam, go
pray again. You haven't prayed three times. And the third time
around a person keeps Rasulullah Salallahu salam ala Rasulillah Can
you tell me what my problem is? I don't know this is the best I can
do. What should I do? So the boy still hasn't then explain to him
that when you start your prayer, make sure you stand straight, when
you go into Roku, that you know make Roku with proper ethanol
proper, you know repose, then some market that might in Rocky and
then make Roku until you are totally composing your Roku, then
from Marfa Tarta de la ca even then re rise up until you are
standing straight up. And what that means is until everything
becomes motionless, there are other generations as well
as Mohammed, Mohammed the SAR ad, or the Allah and released that
prophets, Allah some stood up was stoer. He stood up straight had
the year with a Kulu for Catherine McKenna, who until every limb went
back to its place.
Now this is a critical problem because every time we've done this
as a problem, even between the two sisters, between the two
prostrations, you have to sit straight until everything just
becomes silent, like like this.
Then go down, you can't go like this. Mashallah, we're so
efficient in our prayers, prayers these days. It's like something I
love when even having a robot Allah gotta handle Allahu Akbar.
So I can I can get my semi I love him and me that and Robin alcohol
while I'm coming up, so I don't have to do it there. So we are
loving him and I don't have a lot of problems. You see what I'm
saying? Is like we're so efficient, lean production. That's
problem. Don't ever become professionals in prayer.
Where you can just do things automatically because you don't
want automatically. You don't want auto pilots a lot
of you heard of auto pilot so that
has anybody done auto puts a lot in auto pilots, you know, like
pilots in the air, where they they've got a function and the
plane will just go on its own and they can go relax, have a little
nap. We do that in our salad sometimes. You know how we do
that? Allahu Akbar. Start the prayer and then we go off
somewhere. And because we're so professionals, we do our cool we
do our Sagitta we read everything in between and then suddenly
a cinematic and we come back. Oh, I've just finished my prayer. You
know, my prayers are finished. Some people they auto pilot even
continues after that. They'll stand up for the Sunnah. He will
remain.
I mean my sunnah I was praying my father moment ago. Do you know
that his Sunnah prayer is not valid? Because there's no
intention for it. It was just an automatic that's where you do an
automatic Salaat The first one will be valid because you had an
intention in the beginning then you went into autopilot but in the
second you know because you know after the head you have to get off
as soon as either automatically you know so engrossed, you get up
for sunnah.
Now what am I having my sunnah, this Sunnah prayer is not valid
because you didn't start it with intention. You're starting
automatically and it's not valid. So don't ever ever become
In professional solid performance,
because we need to be constantly novices trying to learn trying to
make better because then we'll always be better.
This generation of HMI the SIR ad or the Allah one that Rosa Lawson
did this and became totally composed every place every limb
when back to its place that is also related by Buhari.
Now there's a verse in the Quran which says called a flathead
Minjun a Lavina Hoon fie Salah to him hotsheet rule,
right?
Beginning of a Surah
Surah let me know.
So now, verily, the believers are successful.
Those who are fearful, humble and act with humility in their prayer.
What does that mean? How to act with humility in the prayer? What
are the ways of doing that? One of the best professors that we have
Hadith commentators is Abdullah Abdullah Abbas of the Allah Juana.
He says that, this means mockbee Tune muda well their own
humble humbly in treating Allah fearfully submitting to Allah
subhanaw taala with humility, Lyle, toughie, tuna Yameen and
voila, she Marlin. They don't keep looking right to left they don't
look around. The eyes aren't roving around. What are your fair
I'm gonna add him first solid and he does he also adds they don't
raise their hands in prayer.
So don't keep raising their hands because as I said in the
beginning, the hands were raised more than once in the prayer but
now this is the later development that you don't raise your hands
anymore. So that's a proof to say that you don't even have to do it
before and after the ruku and what's even more clear than that
is a Hadith narrated by mum necessity from Abdullah Masuda the
Allah one, which he said very clearly, the hands were only
raised in the beginning.
But Imam Shafi hasn't taken that narration he's taken up the light
but ominous narration even though I'm gonna live now I'm gonna go on
there's two versions one is that he raised his hand other one he
didn't raise his hands but he decided to take the one that he
did raise the hands, which is fine. That's his opinion.
For example, another narration
that is related from a Muslim a yada from Abdullah bin was odd
Allah when he says that I prayed with Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe
Salam, and with Abu Bakr and Umar Radi Allahu Han, and they would
not raise their hands in any part of the Salah except the beginning
that's another Hadith
another Hadith which is
related by Pharaoh running from Abdullah human aroma or the Allah
one he explains how this worked.
He said that could nama Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa Salam be
Maccha with Rasulullah sallallahu Minnewanka Nerva or ID Nafi Phoebe
is solid dwarfee dark it is solid in the ruku that we would raise
our hands in the beginning of the prayer and in by when we did Raghu
further Mahajan, the VSL Allah Azza Milan Medina when the profit
or loss of migrated to Madina, Munawwara Taraka rough Alia day in
if he dark, it is solid in the ruku he abandoned raising his
hands inside the solid when doing ruku was Sebata and out of India
then if you bet is solid, but he maintained raising the hands in
the beginning of the solid.
Now if somebody comes to us, shows us one Hadith in which I'm to live
normally when he's saying that he did raise the hands fine.
Now you know that there are numerous other Hadees would say he
didn't or he did in the beginning, then he stopped doing it
afterwards. So brother, mashallah JazakAllah here for that
information? i We have evidence for this as well, I'm comfortable
with what I'm doing. You can do that. No problem. You see somebody
raising their hands and not raising don't make a big deal out
of this.
These are the things that cause disunity.
You know, the strangest thing as an imam in one place, right.
The only two people that have come to me
with a question about something the way I did it not really like
an external question. I mean, you get those. But why did you do this
a particular way? Can you believe that both of those questions were
related to the same thing, but from opposing angles. So one
person he came to me and he said, Why didn't you do
dua
loudly after a prayer
collectively after a prayer
I did after the hook but I didn't do it after a solid.
Why do you do that?
So I had to discuss with him
another person sometime later, came to me and he said why do you
keep doing do after solids. Now? I do do after
A lot sometimes sometimes they do it loudly, sometimes they do it
silently. And sometimes they don't do it at all, immediately after.
Right? Because DA is established. And we'll look at some of the
durations of that afterwards. But to do it collectively is not
established. But that doesn't make it wrong to do it. Because if
somebody wants to follow the email, why not he can do it. So
that's why they all permissible, they all possibilities. So
sometimes they do it. Sometimes they don't just do so people can
recognize that it's not necessary. But it is important to do to our
anyway. But believe me, the two people that have come with some
kind of objection to the way I've done something has both been about
dua
never like Brother, why can't you speak about the people who don't
have humility, prayer? Why can't you speak about this, please speak
about this issue in the community. And you speak about this. Right?
Never anything about that. It's always about something that is
just so open to differences of opinion, why can you just relax?
Can you see just people like polemics like that?
Now how do you go into ruku? Some people, they will go down, and put
their hands down first, and then everything else knees and
forehead. The way we do it is that we go down, what do we put down
first?
The knees go down first, then
we probably don't even realize because we do it automatically,
right? We put the palms down, and then it's the forehead and nose.
But there is another way mentioned in the Hadith. So you might see
some people doing it differently. But the Hadith that we have is the
NSO the Allahu Anhu relates.
We're actually let's take the first Hadith verse, which is
what eliminar John again relates in a hadith related by Edna
Hoceima that Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used
to put his knees down, before putting his hands down when making
such that there's another Hadith from us. For the Allah one, I saw
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam making to be raising his hands up
to his ears, then he did ruku until he until everything was
stabilized, then he did the technique, and
his
knees went before his hands or palms on the ground. So that's the
best way to do it. Otherwise, you kind of like drop on your hands,
and then your knees drop down. It's kind of awkward. Yes, if
you've got a problem, physical problem, it's an issue.
Another thing here is that the search that needs to be done on
seven limbs, right on seven limbs. Listen to this carefully because
here's another problem.
Many people when they do such though, this is the way it works.
They go into such them. And as soon as their head touches down
their legs for some reason go.
They've got an alignment problem.
Right? Seriously, they've got an alignment problem center of
gravity is wrong.
So it's like
why,
like feel very tired, give them some rest, but it's not the masala
here, this could be critical. It's definitely my crew. But it could
be critical in the sense that the salah could be invalidated. And
you learn that from this hadith.
If when the hands are down, and the forehead is down, if the feet
haven't touched at all that frustration is not valid
frustration. Right?
However, if the head went down and the feet didn't touch for a while,
then they went up. It's mcru But the solid will be valid. And the
reason is, this hadith is related from ignore Abbas or the Allah one
in Sahil Bihari that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was commanded that the search though, be done on seven limbs,
and listen carefully to this
algebra that's the forehead, the two hands, how many is that?
That's three.
Rook attained the two knees. That's five and the two feet. So
that's seven.
Right? The minimum is that at least one knee one one foot. And
the nose is a wajib as well, but it's less than the forehead.
The nose is less than the forehead, the forehead is more
important.
Now another thing is,
let's just say the person is in such that the first frustration as
we mentioned earlier, we need to sit up until everything is silent,
motionless, then go down into the second one. The way we can get
into the habit of doing that is to read something there.
Right who knows that? That's most to have to read during that time.
Allahumma fiddly What harmony there's there's a number of them
but you can do any combination Allah homophily or harmony wire
Feeny dini. Watch Bernie. I mean, there's so many. So just take some
of these Allahumma affinity, you probably know that anyway, oh,
Allah forgive me. What have we had mercy on me? Right? Watch Bernie.
That means complete my imperfections. Why didn't he guide
me, right? So take some of these two hours and do them in that time
that the benefit of it is that when you sit down, you do these
two hours, it will make you sit, you get an additional benefit of
the duas inshallah as well, then you go into the pool. Now, if
somebody
goes into who
comes up most of the way and then goes back down,
then it's my crew, he should do that, too. So you should do that
prostration forgetfulness at the end.
And a salad is macro, right? However, if it was like this,
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, then it's only one
prostration they've done. Because you have to be more than halfway
up for you to go back into another prostration. Otherwise, you're
just part of the same frustration because you're going to come back
a bit and you've gone it's like you've just prolong the first one,
we've made a bit of movement, which means you've only done one
search that for that record, and to search there's a fourth in
every record, which means your salad is now invalid.
Alright, so that's another critical issue as well.
Now, the face needs to be in between the palms in such a you
know, the way we stand when I when we explain in that hadith like
this, we need to be just like that in the such that as well. So the
hands are like that. And the faces in between the two. So it's not
like this, or in any other way. Right? Why elimina Raja Rhodiola
and relates that I pray behind the SUTA la sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, whenever he would make such though, he would place his
forehead between he would place his forehead between his two
palms, as related in Sahih Muslim.
Now, in this case, you keep the fingers together, that's also
related from what had been urgent that promise of Allahu alayhi wa
sallam, whenever he would make such the Dhamma wasabia who he
would put his fingers together. So in the sense that you don't leave
it like that you keep it like that because then as straight as
possible facing the Qibla
that's related in ignore Zima and ignore him burnin and others.
Another narration actually says that put them together.
And then we're stuck Badal Kybella
and then face the Qibla with them. So the only way you could do that
is if you kept them straight. Otherwise if they like that they
won't face the Qibla
that hadith is related by Masana. Abdul Razak.
Now the thing is, you know, the back of the toes,
the toes need to be facing the Qibla as well. The only way you
could do that is if you bend them. Many people they do a very sloppy
search though. So they if they even touching the ground as the
center of gravity problem, they will touch it like this on the
tips, that's my crew, it'll be valid, but it's my crew, it's
undesirable, it should be bent towards the Qibla.
Another big problem,
which is again, another subcontinent problem.
When people go in such though, in frustration,
they seem to be so tired, that they lay their whole forearm on
the ground.
And there's some people who see that and they get really angry.
And the reason is they've got a right to get angry Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam said in a hadith in Muslim, when you make such
though, do not put your forearm on the ground, spread it on the
ground, like a dog does
not rise, the Lawson doesn't use the dog for nothing. Right? He's
saying don't spread it on the ground like a dog does. And you
see so many people, even big people, young people, you know,
they're literally just go down, put their arms on the ground, the
forearms on the ground, keep them up. If you're tired, rested on
your knees, but keep them away from the ground.
Now, women should also refrain from touching the ground as far as
possible, but they've got a leeway in this regard. The reason is that
there is a narration in Muslim, which says that your men should
not do this.
Right? Your men should not put their forearms on the ground.
Now, the general way that the women pray, is that they should be
very compacted together. Which means that many times the hands
are like on the side on the ground. Sometimes it's valid, but
because of this hadith is better not to but rather to keep them
firmly to the site as opposed to underground. But there is a leeway
because the Hadith mentions your men should not do it which is most
likely precluding women from from that which is
In Muslim related Muslim
there's a hadith that's related by Muslim from Bara ignorance zebra
the Allah one he says Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
when you make your such that, put your forehead for your hands on
your your palm on the ground and raise your raise your, your elbows
up.
Wallah. Yep so I had to come there I hear him be subtle kelp and you
should not spread your forearms like the way a dog spreads the
forearm that's related by Buhari
now
as I mentioned to you earlier, the shaft is they sit after the second
prostration for a short while then they stand up. You call that gel
settle st Raha
right.
It's a resting, it's called the resting,
the sitting for resting above a human abou kinaba They relate in
this hadith that's related by man body
that wants Malik ignorant Hadith, or the Allahu Anhu came to us in
our masjid. And he said,
I'm going to
make salad for you.
And I'm going to pray the way I've seen a salsa lesson praying. Now
if somebody came and said that to you, you'd be absolutely please
show it to us.
I said to the narrator who says that I said to Abu Caleb, how did
he pray?
Because abou kalaba is the one who relates this from Malik Abdul
Haredi. So Ebola is now telling
you that this is what happened with multicollinearity. So I asked
him telling me how he did it then. So he said he prayed the way I
will shake praise. And the way the shake used to pray was he used to
sit. And
he used to sit when raising his head from the soldier before
getting up for the second record.
So that is showing the last time that the when Sheikh means old
person when the old person used to pray. That's the way he used to
pray, though the others didn't pray like that, which shows that
this was something he did towards the end of his life.
How do you sit when you're sitting down?
Now there's quite a difference of opinion here. The Hanafis they sit
in what you call if they rush, you sit the men, they sit on their
left foot, the right foot is erect up. So the right leg is outside
and the foot is left erect, with the toes pointing towards Qibla.
The left one is sit seated on right that you call if to rush the
spreading posture. Then another posture the famous question is
called the work which means to sit with both legs to the right hand
side and sit on your bottom. So completely set on your bottom and
the two legs are put towards the right hand side. Right. That is
the way the women sit in the Hanafi school. Now according to
the Maliki's, they do the work in all the postures of prayer, which
means the feet to the right and sitting on the bottom. They do
this in the first sitting like in a fork or two or three rock opera
and the first sitting. They also do it in the last sitting in all
of our sheets. That's the way they do it. The Hanafi is they do if
they rush the first one right foot erect, left sitting on in both the
in all the in all of the city settings have a sittings of
prayer. The shaft is
they say that if it's the final sitting, you do the work the
relaxed one,
right with the legs on the right.
And if it's any other sitting like the if there's two sittings, if
it's three or four cards prayer the first sitting, then you do if
they rush in now and so they do both.
But again, this is a difference of opinion of what is better to do
not what is Permissible or impermissible.
So sometimes if your legs have a problem, you could sit that way as
well. You could even sit cross legged, could sit with your legs
out. In fact, it's better to sit with your legs out and read if
you've got problem with your feet with your legs that sit on the
chair read chair is the last resort nowadays in our mustards
we're getting fixed chairs, because there's just so many
buildings encouraged and sometimes half the machine is like this
all these young guys as well you know, sit on a chair and pray give
them the most uncomfortable chair so that they don't want to prey on
except those who really have to. Another problem is sitting and
praying is that people do all sorts of weird things because they
can't do such the
you know because they can't prostrate. They feel bad about it.
So some people they put another chair in front or a table in front
and they make such down there. Some people they make an they make
a virtual such that so they put their hands as though they
See that, you know, they kind of bend down and they put their hands
as though they're touching the ground and they make such that on
their right on this invisible ground. Right. Some people, they
just bend forward. Now the thing here listen very carefully.
There's a big issue here confusion here.
If you can't stand if your problem is with standing, but you can
prostrate fully, then you will sit and pray because you can't stand.
You'll sit and pray if you're feeling dizzy, if you've got a
problem with whatever but you can prostrate, you'll sit and pray.
When it comes time for roku. Then you will bend down as much as
possible. Right so you'll you'll bend down as much as possible.
Semi Allahu demon Hamidah robbing our local hams, Allahu Akbar, and
you'll go into such that because you're doing a proper search that
anyway that is if you can do a search that then you bend down for
ruku as well. However, if you cannot do such that now this is
the same both male and female. If you can't do such that because
you've got a problem, you just can't go down the ground and you
have to sit and do it. Then it is very simple. Listen, all you have
to do for Roku is Allah has
sent me Allahu
Allahu Allah.
That's your such that you do a Shara. When you call in Arabic
EMA, that's what he says EMA not bowing. And many of us have this
problem. They don't know about this. They can't do such the, but
they'll still be going down somewhere halfway, whatever you
don't have to. It's with that. That means if you're sitting in
the plane and pray, because you can't stand and pray, there's no
place to it's too busy. Whatever security issue, whatever it is,
this is the way you will pray. Right? You'll start off like this.
And then you read. When you go into RUCO you place your hands on
your knees and you say Allahu Akbar, semi Allah Hanuman, Hamidah
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, you just move
your head.
That is enough for Oakland that's called ima. In Hina is where you
move down your your foot that's in here is when you can do such that
so you do it for your Roku.
So the Hadith that we have is related in Sahih al Bukhari
that Abdullah Naramata the Allahu Anhu says that in nama sunnah to
salotti and turn Subbaraj luckily, you know where to flee Al Nusra.
It is a sunnah of the Salah that you keep your right foot erect,
and your left foot you fold it and essentially the way you can fall
is then you sit on it. That's related by Imam Buhari.
And
there's another Hadith that's by Buhari in Buhari as well from Abu
Hamid, a ser ad, or the Allah one, that when you're sitting in the
two rakaats, you will sit on your left foot, and you will keep the
right one erect. There's also a de Lille for reading.
You know, in the first city, you only read the Shahada. You don't
read Allahumma Salli ala Muhammad or any other dua, in fact, is
mcru. To do so. And the reason is McGrew is that it's wajib to get
up. So if you delay a watch, you have to do that the result. When
you do sedusa
If you delay a fourth,
if you miss a wajib, or you delay a watch if you do set that to
suffer for three reasons.
If you delay a fourth,
Miss Awaji, or delay a version,
if you miss a fourth, can you do set the result?
No, because you're missing a pillar. If there's a pillar
missing here, I mean, this room won't stand up. So your salad is
invalid. But if you delay a fault, for example, you forgot to do one
surgery. You only did one such though you'd have to do an extra
search that in one of the subsequent records, three sisters,
because such that two soldiers in every record is watching. Sorry,
it's failed. And then you do send the result because you delayed the
fault. Likewise to stand up straight after the show who is a
wajib. So if you said Allahumma Salli ala and then you realize
that's not too much of a delay so you can get up. But if you said
Allahumma Salli, ala Muhammad that much. Now you'd have to do,
you'd have to do a sit there so because you've delayed the word
job of standing up straight.
Abdullah NumbersUSA. The Allahu Anhu relates that we used to pray
behind the soul of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
he said that Allah is the giver of peace. So when one of you prays,
he should say, adhere to the law. He was Salah to what the EBA to

illallah wa shadow
Mohammed Abdullah sudo
this hadith is related by Imam Buhari
and this is the the Shah hood that we do, as the Hanafi is do the
Shafi is and the Malik is they do a slightly different one which is
also related in Hadith, but this one is the most superior one
because of the way the strength with which it's related. There's
many others to hear to realize saltwater mobile raka to Salah
adhere to mobile Raka. To Salah today Allah is various different
ones, if you if you've seen that copy of 40 Hadith, of salawat and
proselytism, it has all the various different versions, so
some Imams have taken another version. And even the muscles of
the Alliance take this version, which is the strongest one,
we end with the final point here, right? Is what to do with the
finger. People are confused about that they do all sorts of things.
See some people, they raise their finger and then put it down, put
the whole hand down. Some people raise their fingers and put the
finger down. Some people raise the finger and keep it up. Some people
raise the finger and move it side to side. Some people keep their
hand like this, as opposed to like this on the knee. On the on the
thigh, they put it like this and they go like this. Right? There's
no need to laugh about it because they're all from somewhere,
generally. Right? So which one is correct? The thing is that
anything related from a sort of loss of a lot of time is going to
be correct anyway. So again, this is a difference of opinion as to
what's better, and superior. In the Hanafi school there are about
three opinions. One is the opinion of the Hanafi is of Sham, which is
related in Morocco further of shooting Booderee Rahim Allah, a
shadow Allah, Allah Illallah who I should, I should Allah Allah
illallah wa Chanel, Muhammad, Abdullah sudo and then you put
your hands back down until the end, you keep it down.
That is what they follow in Sham in Syria. The Hanafi is there as
well, the primarily the Hanafis of the subcontinent, they follow
another opinion which is and it's based on Hadith as well, that the
province of Assam raised his finger. And then it was put down
and it remained like Well, it's actually there's a it's not clear
whether it was put down or remain up, but there is indication that
it could have been put down so they keep it like that until the
end because after that it's DUA and the Hadith says that the
promise of Salam spread his finger in one Hadith he said basata is
better who Basa basata which means spread some say lay down in
another one says a Shara.
He indicated with it. So it's either put down or the Shafi is
keep it up
right until the end. And there's Hanafi scholars who based on the
Hadith, they will also some will just keep it up as well. So again,
it's it's fine. But the Hanafi opinion mentioned in many of the
books is a shadow Allah Ilaha illa Allah, there is no God except
Allah. So it's kind of an indication to the to hate in that
sense. But then you keep it like that, which is you follow these
two, you make a ring with these two, and you raise it like that.
And and when you say this is when you finish your T shirt and you
say a shirt. So it's the shirt is like this, then you say a shirt
Well, you know, in Lulla or you can keep it up right now, there
are other Hadith about this as well. But let's look at this first
one.
Ally if no Abdul Rahman and Maddie
he relates his Hadith in Sahih Muslim, that Abdullah ignore
Amara, the Allahu Anhu
saw me playing with stones. So he said to me, do what Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam used to do?
I said, What did the prophets allow us to do? He said, When the
prophets Allah son would sit for prayer, he would put his right
palm on his on his right thigh.
He would then clench his fingers together.
And he would indicate with his finger that was next to his thumb,
which means the index finger
and he would just place his left hand on his left thigh means the
right one, he was doing something with it, but the left one was
placed like that. But it doesn't say how the fingers were placed.
Right just said that he would, he would, he would put them together.
There's another Hadith related by Muslim ignorant one or the other
and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, whenever he would sit
in the shower would put his right hand on his right thigh.
Left one on his left eye. And with the right one, he would make the
symbol for 35.
And he would indicate with his with his finger.
In our, in our tradition, you could count on too many 1000s
Using your two fingers. They had these ways of doing it, you know,
one, two, you know we got the 12345 and then they've got this
way and you keep it like this and you keep it like this and then you
know, then you count again you keep it like that and they've got
this way. So apart
Ronnie, this is the way that was mentioned. And he indicated with
his finger. So this is the most popular way. There's another
opinion which the Maliki's take, which is like this. And somebody
keys they there's a difference of opinion the Maliki school they
move it left to right. Right. The somatic is like Abdullah Abdullah
bar, I believe he says that he shouldn't do it because it is very
distracting. And if you've seen anybody praying next to you, and
they're doing that it is very distracting. They actually go and
so in many, many cases have not taken that opinion. They don't
follow it.
There's another Hadith that some of our other brothers take who
they say that you should move it because it's like you are.
You are repelling the shaytaan so like,
you know, it's just very distracting. These are other sahih
Hadith that you could take. Right? Why do you have to go to that
witness movement? Where's the province of Assam in general said
school is solid, take it easy, relax, be calm in prayer. Don't
disturb somebody else.
Okay, we stop here inshallah for our break
