Mubarak ala nabiyina wa habibina muhammadin wa ala
alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in wabaad, yarweel imam
ahmadu fee musnadihi bisanadin saheehin an abu sa
'id al khudri radiallahu anhu qaal i'takafa rasoolullahi
sallallahu alaihi wa sallama fil masjidi fasami'a
an nasa yajharuna bil qur'ani fakashafa al
sitra wa huwa fee qubbatin lahu thumma qaal
so the hadith tonight in the collection of
imam ahmad with an authentic chain of narration
narrated to us by abu sa'id al
khudri and he tells us about, of course
the theme is still the etiquettes of salah
and the different types of etiquettes and i'm
just going to be talking about different types
that are not in a specific sequence just
to keep on inshallah educating ourselves on the
importance of having these etiquettes regarding salah and
this example here abu sa'id tells us
that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam a'takaf
fil masjid, so this is maybe during ramadan
or a time where a'tikaf was common and
he was staying in the masjid, he was
in a qubba, qubba just means he had
put himself in an area where he was
not always visible meaning behind a curtain of
some sort and people were in the masjid
praying, praying different types of qiyam al layl
and they were reading within their qiyam, they
were reading out loud and they were reading
out loud and everyone was reading a bit
loud and they were getting loud you were
like three people standing praying and they're just
doing qiyam because it's not like it wasn't
taraweeh or ramadan maybe but it was a
time where people were just doing a'tikaf and
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was in
the masjid they were in the masjid and
they were doing their own salah each individually
so they were making a lot of noise
so the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam removed
the curtain from where he was sitting and
he spoke to them so
he said indeed each and every one of
you is speaking to their lord al munaja
is when you speak to someone and you
don't have to yell munada is when you
have to call like with the daal munada
you have to call upon someone you have
to raise your voice so they can hear
you al munaja is when you don't have
to call because they are close to you
they're listening right it's just a change of
a letter and this is the beauty of
arabic language is that sometimes same concept sometimes
you want to make a little bit of
a different a change if you want to
just change a certain detail about it so
you want to change one detail you change
one letter so you find this a lot
in the arabic language by the way so
al munaja is where you're talking to someone
that you don't have to raise your voice
so he's saying alayhi salatu wasalam indeed all
of you are are speaking to their lord
and he's not far so you don't need
to yell so none of you should be
harming other people you shouldn't be harming each
other in your qiraa and do not try
to raise your voice above the person who
is reciting and then the other person tries
to raise their voice above the person who's
reciting and it turns into a contest of
screaming and then it doesn't sound nice anymore
and it's disrespectful so from this the scholars
took the following etiquettes of salah that when
when people are praying that you give them
room to pray and you bother them with
your with whatever else you're doing right this
we take that etiquette from that so people
are praying we don't bother them now if
i have to point out some etiquettes here
if we pray jamaah and there's a dars
for example i'm giving this dars now and
someone walks in stands over there and allahu
akbar bismillahirrahmanirrahim so now should i be quiet
and allow them and not bother them or
should he have not done that to begin
with he should not have done that to
begin with so performing a second jamaah in
a masjid is an issue of difference of
opinion amongst scholars you're a malik is completely
against it you're not allowed to for a
maliki you're not allowed to do a second
jamaah in the masjid so we're much more
open to that so if you do a
second jamaah in the masjid you have to
ask permission for at least you have to
make sure you're doing in a space where
you're not bothering other people so if you're
coming during the second jamaah and then after
that you're like why is everyone making noise
no no that's on you you did you
didn't make it for salah so this is
your problem not the problem of the people
who are doing quran or the people who
are doing something else just just so that's
clear because a reciting and they were reading
they should listen no no this this is
if we're praying jamaah if i'm if we
did isha and someone decided to come into
the masjid and sit over there i said
you know what i prayed i prayed isha
and allahumma at 6 30 and i want
to read quran so they sit and they
read quran a loud voice in that case
they're at fault because there's a jamaah happening
but for second and third and fourth jamaah
no that's not always the case for sunnah
for example also not the case also not
the case if you're playing sunnah at a
time where there's adults happening or there's a
scheduled uh yaani session or kids are doing
something different so when it comes to knowing
so these etiquettes come based are determined based
on what is scheduled to happen in a
masjid so we can't just take the rule
that suits us and run with it and
then ask yeah i need to demand that
people follow it is what it is that
we're doing we have to understand how it
actually works so when it comes to coming
to a masjid yes we shouldn't be harming
each other when it comes to people trying
to pray people trying to read people trying
to do different things but there's also scheduled
sessions that are occurring duroos salawats you have
to respect what's actually happening and make sure
that you attend things at the right time
and if you're going to go beyond or
outside of what was scheduled then you should
find a space that is different and ask
for permission to actually do it and that's
the etiquette of salah and the etiquette of
respecting how the masjid works i'm saying this
because i've watched these little yaani uh spite
spouts come up here and there and they're
all at fault yeah it's not that's not
how this is supposed to actually happen the
rule is a little bit different so someone
comes to the masjid like i if i'm
giving a dars for example after maghrib and
someone's like i'm reading quran i want to
read quran so what so what do i
do do i uh so forgive me and
i said no i'm the schedule is the
dars if you want to read quran go
do it somewhere else or do it at
home you can't come and the masjid is
not going to run the way you want
yeah this is not this is not the
etiquette again it's about etiquette about adab and
adab means that you are sensitive of what's
happening around you and that sensitivity has to
go beyond just understanding a ruling in a
very very dry and incorrect manner and then
expecting everyone to follow that ruling so no
that's not how that works if we for
example uh have a scheduled surah to be
recited at certain time so i can't say
well i want to pray i want to
listen no no this is the time for
it we've scheduled the time for the surah
to be read listen you don't want to
listen come a bit later and then you
don't have to be bothered by this but
don't get come and try to force people
to do things the way you want them
to be done rather follow along with the
schedule and i'm just saying that because i've
seen it happen too many times on the
other side if you are witnessing someone praying
or seeing someone reading quran try your best
not to bother them with your socialization and
noise and making and talking i am a
fan of the masjid being a spot a
space for people to socialize and enjoy each
other's company i'm a fan of that and
actually i like that and i think it's
i encourage it but we try to be
as as again etiquette is about just trying
to be as considerate of the other person
as as humanly possible so just like as
i'm a father i'm concerned when you pray
isha then your sunnah can happen somewhere else
if it's noisy and if something else is
happening you don't have to actually you don't
get to say i want to play something
here no sunnah is in the house as
i will explain another etiquette uh hadith but
if you're standing there and people are praying
sunnah then another etiquette is that you don't
yeah you don't have to have the conversation
at your full volume so that they can
at least enjoy their salah and subhanallah etiquette
the adab is something the prophet alayhi was
he walked around and he and he served
it to people as as entrees he gave
he dished out all his life so i'm
trying to get people to have some etiquette
so we have to have a little bit
of etiquette amongst each other and if you
if each everyone does something when it comes
for example to children the etiquette is that
if a child makes noise we don't get
upset the etiquette of the parents is that
your child does not sit down quietly and
can't you can't help be controlled maybe don't
bring them for a loud for an address
so the etiquette is kind of both ways
we kind of think about things in inappropriate
manners so we shouldn't be yelling at people
and their children and their parents should just
if this is not a good time for
them put them in a place where they're
not causing too much uh too much of
a trouble and this just comes from a
basic understanding of the adab so i wanted
to share that with you because i think
it's uh the prophet was not tolerant of
this stuff they're all reading lord voice they're
praying he put his head out no no
no no bring it down you don't need
to do this why are you doing this
and there's no need for this it's it
there's lack of uh of etiquette so the
sahaba they brought their voices down and people
prayed appropriately instead of turning it into a
well i came first i was praying first
you should have standed behind me you should
have done your own thing so i'll raise
my voice and he'll raise his no no
that's not how there's there's no adab in
that foreign
