The questioner : Yes. Khalid. Peace be upon you. He said: Some of the Companions mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray the midday prayer until the one who goes to al-Baqi' for a need would then perform ablution and then enter the first unit of prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And his saying, "as if it is with Allah," you mean the continuation, and we have mentioned in the author's statement that he recites in the remainder from the middles, from the middles of the specialists.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the norm.
The questioner : But it seems he is saying that he was clear about the continuation in the lengthening of the midday prayer.
The Shaykh : No, this lengthening is not maintained, because there are narrations indicating the opposite.
The Shaykh : Yes.
