Revive the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAWS

[taha_]

81. Coming early for Jumu'a It was narrated from Abu Hurairah [‫رضى الله عنه‬] that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever performs ghusl as from janabah on Friday, then comes (to the masjid), it is as if he sacrificed a camel. Then the one who comes in the second hour, it is as if he sacrificed a cow. Then the one who comes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a ram. Then the one who comes in the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a chicken. Then the one who comes in the fifth hour, it is as if he sacrificed an egg. Then when the imam comes out, the angels attend to listen to the khutbah."

Sahih, Sunan Nasai book 14, Hadith 25
Eng: Vol. 2, Book 14, Hadith 1389
Arabic ref:Book 14, Hadith 1399


Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) was asked:

When does the first hour of Friday begin?
He replied: The hours which were mentioned by the Prophet (ﷺ) are five. So the time between sunrise and the imam’s arrival is divided into five parts, each of which may be equivalent to what we know as an hour (60 minutes), or it may be more or less, because time changes. It was also said that the time begins at the break of dawn, but that view is less correct, because the time before sunrise is the time for Fajr prayer.

The mention of these hours is intended only to encourage people to come early and attain the reward of being in the first row and waiting for the prayer, and keeping busy with nafl prayers, dhikr and the like. None of that can be achieved by going to the mosque after the sun has passed its zenith, and there is no virtue in doing so, because the call to prayer is given at that time.

After sermon starts - you are an absentee as the Angels close their records and listen to the Imam.

You still get the reward for coming to masjid and praying in congregation but the bonus reward of Jumu'a mentioned in this hadeeth will be lost.

87. Praying 2 raka'a nafl during the Friday sermon Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: A person entered the mosque while the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Khutba on a Friday. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Have you prayed?" The man replied in the negative. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Get up and pray two rak`at."
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 930

As per the Hanbali and Shafi’i schools, it is recommended for a latecomer to the Friday prayer to pray the 2 rakats for greeting the mosque even if the Imam is giving the Friday sermon. Their evidence is the above mentioned hadith of Jabir bin `Abdullahرضى الله عنه in Bukhari 930 and Sahih Muslim 875a. However, as per the Hanafi and Maliki schools it is impermissible.

Despite the above two hadiths, it is transmitted from majority of the early Muslims from the Sahaba, and the Tabi’in that they did not deem it permissible to pray during the khutba. This was mentioned by Imam al-Nawawi in his commentary on Sahih Muslim. It indicates that they understood from the Prophet ﷺ that one was not to pray in that time. This is why the practice of the early community is seen as a source of law in itself as their practice was a practical transmission of knowledge, just as their teaching hadiths was an oral transmission of knowledge.

It is agreed upon that speaking is not allowed during the khutba from many ahadeeth. Among the evidences for this is Quran 7:204
‘When the Qur’an is recited to you then be silent and listen attentively that haply you may be shown mercy’
The Qur’anic exegetes mention 4 possible reasons for this verse being revealed.
Firstly that it was revealed concerning the khutba.
Secondly, it is a general command.
Thirdly, that it was revealed to stop people from speaking to each other when praying behind an imam.
Fourthly, that it was revealed concerning reciting the Qur’an aloud when one is praying behind the imam.

If forbidding the evil, an otherwise obligatory act, is forbidden during the khutba, as indicated by the hadith forbidding one from saying ‘be quiet’ to another person as it prevents one from ‘listening attentively’ to the khutba, then it is a fortiori that praying the two rakats of greeting the mosque should be forbidden during the khutba as firstly it is not obligatory and secondly it takes longer and so interferes even more with the obligation of listening attentively.

The incident of the man that was told to get up and pray two rakats appears to apply specifically to that particular person (Sulaik al-Ghatafani). The scholars deduced this for a number of reasons:

Jabir and Abu Salih reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه Sulaik al-Ghatafani came (to the mosque) while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was giving the (Friday) sermon. He asked him: Did you pray something ? He said: No. He said: Offer two rak'ahs and make them short. Abu dawood 1116, Sunan Nasai 2536

Daruqutni mentions this incident in his sunan from Anas ibn Malik that ‘a man entered the mosque and the Messenger of Allah was delivering the khutba, so he ﷺ said to him “Stand and pray two rakats” and withheld from continuing with the khutba until he had finished praying’, and so the man was not guilty of praying during the khutba.

Other versions mention that he was a very poor man and did not have decent clothes to wear to the Friday prayer, and in some versions he had hardly any clothing, so the Prophet ﷺ told him to stand and pray so that everybody could see his poverty and give him some charity.

Versions to this effect are mentioned in the Musnad Ahmed Vol 5 page 75 and by Ibn Hibban in his sahih, Imam al-Tahawi and Al-Nasa’i in his sunan hadith #2536 who mentioned this version under the heading 'URGING TO CHARITY’ seeing as it was the key lesson to be gained from the incident.

A general rule when dealing with seemingly contradictory texts with one text forbidding an act and another permitting, is that precedence is given to the text forbidding the act.
It is closer to being precautious in one’s religion than to act contrary to this hadith as nobody says that praying the two rakats for greeting the mosque is obligatory whereas the hadiths forbidding speech and prayer do indicate that it is sinful to pray. Not praying, therefore, avoids sin without any doubt.

And Allah alone gives success

88. Do not pray sunnah, if Iqamah is pronounced Do NOT pray sunnah, if Imam is leading the obligatory prayer.

Narrated Abu Hurairah [‫رضى الله عنه‬] The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: When the iqamah is pronounced for prayer, no prayer is valid except the obligatory prayer.

Grade : Sahih, Sunan Abi Dawud 1266
In-book ref : Book 5, Hadith 17
English : Book 5, Hadith 1261

Do not pray 2 sunnah of Fajr, if Imam has already started Fajr. You can pray right after Fardh or until sunrise.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) said if the iqaamah for prayer is given whilst the person is still in the first rak’ah of a naafil prayer, then he should cut it short; if that happens when he is in the second rak’ah then he should complete it quickly and not cut it short.

What we think concerning this matter is that if you are in the second rak’ah, then you should complete it quickly, but if you are in the first rak’ah, then you should cut it. Our evidence for that is the words of the Prophet (ﷺ) “Whoever catches up with one rak’ah of the prayer has caught up with the prayer” (narrated by al-Bukhaari, 580; Muslim, 607). So the person who has prayed a rak’ah before the iqaamah, he has caught up with the prayer by doing a rak’ah before the prayer becomes disallowed, so he should complete it quickly. This is the view that reconciles all the evidence.

If he cuts short the naafil prayer he should do so without saying the tasleem.

[taha_]

89. Do not pray, at this time unless with a reason No prayer is allowed at these times unless there is a valid reason

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri [‫رضى الله عنه‬] I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "There is no prayer after the morning prayer till the sun rises, and there is no prayer after the `Asr prayer till the sun sets."

Ref: Sahih al-Bukhari 586
In-book ref: Book 9, Hadith 62
Eng : Vol. 1, Book 10, Hadith 560

A person can pray after Fajr or Asr if he has a valid reason. There are many such valid reasons to pray.
- Any missed fardh prayer of that day
- Any sunnah of that day
- Salatul Janaza
- Tahhiyatul wodhu
- Tahhiyatul masjid
- 2 nafl after Tawaaf
- Witr of Isha after Fajr if missed
- Sunnah of Fajr if missed
- Solar eclipse after Asr……..All are allowed

90. Surah to recite in sunnah of Fajr It was narrated from Abu Hurairah [‫رضى الله عنه‬] that in the two Rak’ah before the Fajr, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite: “Say: ‘O you disbelievers!” [Al-Kafirun (109)] and “Say: Allah is One.” [Al-Ikhlas (112)]

92. Praying while sitting is half the reward Chapter: To offer Salat while sitting

Narrated `Imran bin Husain [‫رضى الله عنه‬]: (who had piles) I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the praying of a man while sitting. He said, "If he prays while standing it is better and he who prays while sitting gets half the reward of that who prays standing; and whoever prays while Lying gets half the reward of that who prays while sitting."

93. It is sunnah to walk to the masjid Walking is better than riding to Masjid, if distance allows.

Chapter: Walking To prayer

It was narrated that 'Abdullah [‫رضى الله عنه‬] said: "Whoever would like to meet Allah tomorrow (i.e. on the Day of Judgment) as a Muslim, let him preserve these five (daily) prayer when the call for them is given, for they are part of the ways of guidance, and Allah prescribed the ways of guidance to your Prophet (ﷺ). By Allah, if each of you prays in his house, you will have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet (ﷺ), and if you abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet (ﷺ) you will go astray. I remember when no one stayed behind from the prayer except a hypocrite who was known for his hypocrisy. I have a man coming supported by two others, until he joined the row (of worshippers). There is no man who purifies himself and does it well, and comes to the mosque and prays there, but for every step that he takes, Allah raises him in status one degree thereby, and takes away one of his sins."

Ref: Sunan Ibn Majah 777
In-book ref: Book 4, Hadith 43

Praying in the masjid is a means of receiving guidance from Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَ

From this hadeeth, we know the status in Akhirah depends on the number of good deeds. Every good deed is a degree of status raised and a level higher in Jannah.

3 other ways to raise status:

1. Making more Sujood ...meaning making more Nafl. For each one raises a status and removes a sin...... Sahih muslim.

2. Memorizing Quran. For every ayah you know a status is raised in the Akhirah. Recite and move up.

3. Sending salutations upon the Prophet (ﷺ). For every one, 10 degrees are raised.

94. It is sunnah to change places after Fardh prayer Umar b. `Ata' b. Abu Khuwar said that Nafi` b. Jubair sent him to al- Sa'ib the son of Namir's sister to ask him about what he had seen in the prayer of Mu`awiya. He said: Yes, I observed the Jumu`a prayer along with him in Maqsura and when the Imam pronounced salutation I stood up at my place and observed (Sunan rak`ahs). As he entered (the apartment) he sent for me and said: Do not repeat what you have done. Whenever you have observed the Jumu`a prayer, do not observe (Sunan prayer) till you, have talked or gone out, for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had ordered us to do this and not to combine two (types of) prayers without talking or going out.

Reference : Sahih Muslim 883a
In-book ref : Book 7, Hadith 92
English ref Book 4, Hadith 1921

Some scholars are of the opinion, doing tasbeeh is enough to separate the Fardh from Nafl. But moving is better. Also, if someone walks in late and they see everyone spread out and praying Nafl, they would know the Fardh Salah is over in the masjid.

From Tafseer ibn Katheer of Surah ad-Dukhan ayah 29
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنظَرِينَ
And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved (Pharoah)

The places where a Muslim makes ibadah will cry on the day that he/she dies.

Also, from Surah Yaseen ayah 12
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَآثَارَهُمْ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ فِي إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
Indeed, We give life (to) the dead and We record what they have sent before and their footprints (that which they leave behind), and everything We have enumerated it in a Register clear.

The word "Footprints" here mean whatever good deed a muslim leaves behind is recorded. The place where one makes Sujood, will bear witness on the day of judgement, so change places often.

Imaam an-Nawawee (رحمه الله) explains this saying: "In this hadeeth there is evidence for what the scholars say [i.e.] that it is preferred to pray the optional prayers in another place than where one prayed their obligatory prayer. And the best place for that is the house, but any other place inside the masjid is still valid.

Shaikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) said: 'The Sunnah is to separate between performing the obligatory and optional Salat in Jumu'ah Salat and other Salah as was narrated in the "Sahih" that he (ﷺ) prohibited that any [obligatory] Salat be followed immediately by [optional] one; one should separate between them with speech or changing one's place'"

[taha_]

95. It is sunnah to pray while riding Praying while riding

Narrated Jabir [‫رضى الله عنه‬] Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray (optional, non-obligatory prayer) while riding on his mount (Rahila) wherever it turned, and whenever he wanted to pray the compulsory prayer he dismounted and prayed facing the Qibla.

Ref : Sahih al-Bukhari 400
In-book ref : Book 8, Hadith 51
Eng: Vol. 1, Book 8, Hadith 393

Qiyam (standing) and facing the Qibla is an important Rukn of Salah and is compulsory for the obligatory prayers, without which Salah is invalid. You can pray Nafl while the vehicle is moving. And for transportation that you cannot control like airplane or such, the scholars have allowed sitting and praying the obligatory prayers if you know Salah will be missed by the time you arrive, based on this ayah and Hadeeth.
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَاسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَأَنفِقُوا خَيْرًا لِّأَنفُسِكُمْ
[al-Taghaabun 64:16] "So keep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much as you can”.

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “When I command you to do a thing, do as much of it as you can.” Narrated by Muslim (1337).

If possible during the jouney, it is better to join the prayers like zuhr+Asr and Magrib+Isha, at the transition time of those prayers, and this is more closer to the sunnah.

96. It is sunnah to pray carrying a child Chapter: Bringing Children Into The Masjid

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Sulaim Az-Zuraqi that he heard Abu Qatadah [‫رضى الله عنه‬] say: "While we were sitting in the Masjid. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us carrying Umamah bint Abi Al-'As bin Ar-Rabi', whose mother was Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She was a little girl and he was carrying her. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed with her on his shoulder, putting her down when he bowed and picking her up again when he stood up, until he completed his prayer."

97. It is sunnah to pray in shoes Chapter: Praying In Sandals

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri [‫رضى الله عنه‬] While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was leading his Companions in prayer, he took off his sandals and laid them on his left side; so when the people saw this, they removed their sandals. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished his prayer, he asked: What made you remove your sandals? The replied: We saw you remove your sandals, so we removed our sandals.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said: Gabriel came to me and informed me that there was filth in them. When any of you comes to the mosque, he should see; if he finds filth on his sandals, he should wipe it off and pray in them.

Chapter : What Has Been Related About Salat In Sandals

Sa'eed bin Yazid Abu Maslamah said: "I said to Anas bin Malik [‫رضى الله عنه‬] 'Would Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) perform Salat wearing his sandals?' He said: 'Yes.'"

Grade : Sahih, Ref: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 400 In-book ref Book 2, Hadith 253
English Vol. 1, Book 2, Hadith 400

One of the reasons why the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed wearing shoes is to be found in the hadeeth, “Be different from the Jews, who do not pray in their shoes or in their leather slippers (khufoof).” (Abu Dawood, 652; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 607).
This is regarded as mustahabb for the purpose of differing from Jews.

This has to do with the kind of shoes and with the mosque at that time. However if the mosque is furnished with carpeting, then the mosque should be kept clean of shoes, and no one should enter wearing shoes.

The one who is keen to follow this Sunnah can apply it when praying in places where there are no furnishings or carpets, such as parks, beaches and outdoors, etc. If this action confuses some of those who are unaware of the Sunnah, he should explain to them that it is Sunnah before he does it, so that they will not find it odd.

Missing Fajr

Fajr is one of the obligatory prayer, it starts from the dawn time until the sunrise. All Muslims must pray the prayer and it is not permissible to miss it.


Nowsday, many people end up missing fajr, and when they are asked about it, they make excuses such as they find it difficult to wake up early for the prayer, this is because they are not concerned about it, and have no intention for it, yet they are concerned about worldly matters! When they have booked a flight and the timing is at 5 am, they would deliberately prepare themselves, by going to sleep early and using alarm, being very anxious about missing it...

But when it comes to fajr, they do not even think about it. Instead they sleep at late time which can lead to missing the prayer easily. We have become very negligent of our deen and feel satisfied with dunya. It is important to know this hadith.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No prayer is heavier upon the hypocrites than the Fajr and the `Isha' prayers and if they knew what is in them (in reward), they would have attended them, even if (it was) crawling.
Sahih al-Bukhari, 657
In-Book Reference: Book 10, Hadith 51
USC-MSA web (English) reference: Vol. 1, Book 11, Hadith 626 (deprecated numbering scheme)


To avoid missing fajr, one should make sincere intention when going to sleep, to wake up for fajr, they also should set up alarm while putting trust in Allah. They also should try to apply the sunnah of sleeping such as sleeping in state of ablution, reciting Ayat Kursi, two last verses of Surah baqarah and surah kafiroon etc, this will also help to feel prepared. One should also try to sleep early after isha, and avoid any activities that may lead them to stay late, such as speaking which is makrooh except if it is about useful topics.

The people asked: Messenger of Allah, how can it be that our blessings will be submitted to you while your body is decayed? He replied: Allah, the Exalted, has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies of Prophets.

take ghusl,

Narrated Ibn `Umar [‫رضى الله عنه‬]:
While `Umar bin Al-Khattab was standing and delivering the sermon on a Friday, one of the companions of the Prophet(ﷺ), who was one of the foremost Muhajirs (emigrants) came. `Umar said to him, "What is the time now?" He replied, "I was busy and could not go back to my house till I heard the Adhan. I did not perform more than the ablution." Thereupon `Umar said to him, "Did you perform only the ablution although you know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to order us to take a bath (on Fridays)?"

Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 878

wear best clothing,

'Abd Allah b. 'Amr al-'As reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: Whoever washed himself on Friday and applies perfume of his wife if she has one, and wears good clothes and does not step over the necks of the people (in the mosque to sit in the front row) and does not indulge in idle talk during the sermon, that will atone (for his sins) between the two Fridays. But he who indulges in idle talk and steps over the necks of people (in the mosque), that (Friday) will be for him like the noon prayer.

apply oil and perfume,

Narrated Salman-Al-Farsi [‫رضى الله عنه‬]
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven."

Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 883

use miswak to brush your teeth,

‏ غُسْلُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى كُلِّ مُحْتَلِمٍ وَسِوَاكٌ وَيَمَسُّ مِنَ الطِّيبِ مَا قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ ‏"

Abd al-Rahman son of Abd Sa'id al-Khudri reported on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

Bathing on Friday for every adult, using of Miswak and applying some perfume, that is available-these are essential. So far as the perfume is concerned, it may be that used by a lady.

come to masjid early,

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah [‫رضى الله عنه‬] that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever performs ghusl as from janabah on Friday, then comes (to the masjid), it is as if he sacrificed a camel. Then the one who comes in the second hour, it is as if he sacrificed a cow. Then the one who comes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a ram. Then the one who comes in the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a chicken. Then the one who comes in the fifth hour, it is as if he sacrificed an egg. Then when the imam comes out, the angels attend to listen to the khutbah."

Sahih, Sunan Nasai book 14, Hadith 25
Eng: Vol. 2, Book 14, Hadith 1389
Arabic ref:Book 14, Hadith 1399

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) was asked: When does the first hour of Friday begin?

He replied: The hours which were mentioned by the Prophet (ﷺ) are five. So the time between sunrise and the imam’s arrival is divided into five parts, each of which may be equivalent to what we know as an hour (60 minutes), or it may be more or less, because time changes.

take spot next to the imam.

Narrated Aws ibn Aws ath-Thaqafi [‫رضى الله عنه‬] I heard the apostle of Allah صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ say: If anyone makes (his wife) wash and he washes himself on Friday(Ghusl) , goes out early (for Friday prayer), attends the sermon from the beginning, walking, not riding, takes his seat near the imam, listens attentively, and does not indulge in idle talk, he will get the reward of a year's fasting and praying at night for every step he takes.

Wiping sleep from the face

Wiping Sleep from the Face

Ibn Abbas [‫رضى الله عنه‬] narrated that he spent the night at his aunt’s [Maymounah (رضي الله عنها)] house, He said, “I lied across the pillow while my aunt and Allah’s messenger صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ both lied on the pillow. The Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ slept until a little before or after the middle of the night. He صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ woke up and began to wipe the sleep from his face with both his hands…”........ ‬‬‬ Collected by Bukhari (183) and Muslim (763)‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) commented on this hadeeth saying, It is a legislated (recommended) act to wipe the sleep from the face when waking up. By doing so you’ll find energy.
