00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			So the hadith tonight is in collection in
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			Nasa'i, and this is the theme of
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			It has an authentic chain narration, the theme
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			of etiquettes of Salah I have a few
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			more to share with you this week and
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			hopefully we'll move on to something else next
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			weekend or next week Sorry, and Abu Huraira
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			says the following.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			He said this to one of his students
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			I've never seen anyone whose prayer is more
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			similar to the prayer of the Prophet Then
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			a certain person and he can't remember the
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			person So the person who is narrating this
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			hadith, he said I know that person and
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			I'll tell you what his Salah was like
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			So I'll translate and explain to you why
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			I'm telling you this hadith So Sulaiman said
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			that Abu Huraira prayed behind someone over a
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			week or so and said this person is
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			very similar to the Prophet's prayer And this
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			man Sulaiman, who is a great Tabi'i,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			he said that his prayer when he prayed
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			Dhuhr, the first two rak'ahs were long
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			and the second two were shorter Asr in
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			general was shorter, and in Maghrib he recited
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			Qisal al-Mufasal, meaning from Ad-Duha till
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			the end And in Isha, Uwasat al-Mufasal,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			so the middle of the Qur'an a
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			little bit longer And in Fajr, Bituwal al
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			-Mufasal, meaning the long surahs and the long
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			verses And he would say in Fajr, he
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			would estimate between 60 to 100 verses per
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			rak'ah Which is around a third of
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			a juz'a, which is around 6 to
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			7 pages within a rak'ah So when
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			we say the Prophet, peace be upon him,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			used to lighten, I don't think you fully
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			understand what that means Now he did a
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			lot of things in Salah, peace be upon
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			him, as an imam Sometimes he would recite
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:23
			within two rak'ahs And then And sometimes
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			he would do longer than that, he would
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			recite a page or two from Al-A
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			'raf, Al-An'am, and Maghrib And sometimes
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			he would recite 6 to 7 pages, and
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			sometimes he would do a page and a
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			half He did different things, peace be upon
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			him, and all of them were seen as
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			Taghfif, one way or the other What we
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			have made the norm for our Salawat here,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			in this era, I'm not talking about this
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			masjid specifically or this country Or in this
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53
			era, is significantly, significantly shorter than what he
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			did, peace be upon him, in his life
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:59
			By a long shot, meaning way shorter than
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			what we do here today I'm not to
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			say that we're going to change that tomorrow,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			and I'm going to start making 25 minute
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			prayers But what I'm saying is that the
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			Prophet, peace be upon him, to him and
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			to the followers The highlight of the whole
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			time was the prayer So for example, the
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			mentorship students who came and attended like an
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			hour and a half and talked and learned
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			The highlight of your time here at the
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			masjid was the Isha prayer that you just
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			prayed That was the best thing you've done
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			The most benefit you have taken, and the
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			most important thing that you have performed, is
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			Salatul Isha As a Muslim, you come for
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			example to the masjid and you listen to
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			a dars and you socialize The most important
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			thing that you do is Salatul Isha The
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			highlight of the night is Isha in jama
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			'a, or Fajr in jama'a, or whatever
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			Salat you pray in jama'a So don't
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			treat it as something that needs to get
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			moving Move it along so we can move,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			no, this is it, this is the most
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			important thing Why does he need to move
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			it along?
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			Why are you in the mood of quicker,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			quicker shaykh, imam, quick, quick, what are you
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:04
			doing?
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			Why are you taking five more seconds in
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			Fatiha?
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			Why is this sujood three more seconds longer
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:09
			than what I'm used to?
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			This is the highlight of the night, what
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			do you want?
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			You're here to pray, what are you here
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:13
			to do?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			What are you here to do?
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			If not to pray, then what exactly is
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17
			it?
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			What's more important than that?
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			Nothing's more important than that Not a dars,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			not a khutbah, nothing is more important than
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			Salat And that's why I want to share
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			this with you Because in it, he gives
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			an estimate of what he remembers the Prophet,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			peace be upon him, doing in a Fajr
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			And I always thought that estimate, he just
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			used it just as a, but we don't
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			look at it From sixty to a hundred
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			ayah in one rak'ah He says it's
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			around a third of a juz' A juz'
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			is twenty pages He's doing six pages per
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			juz' Allah Akbar Well, if he were to
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			do that, I would be deported, forget about
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:59
			Tiani And I don't think that's the solution
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			But what I'm asking for is a change
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:05
			of perspective and mentality When you come to
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			the Masjid for Salat, see the Salat for
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			what it is It's the highlight of the
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			night You could be coming for an important
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			speaker Some, you know, Hollywood guy with a
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			big imam And you're coming, you're listening, you're
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			taking notes The highlight of that night is
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			the Salat that you salli after You come
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			for Taraweeh, the highlight of the night is
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			Isha' You do Taraweeh, twenty rak'ah or
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			whatever And then you do your, and there's
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			a dars before it And then there's a
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			dua'a fil witr The highlight of the
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			night was Isha' The most valuable thing that
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			you did Keep that in your mind Because
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			that's the fard And that's the connection you
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			have with the Almighty, subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			I hope that was a benefit to you
