Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the intention behind holding the hands and clasping them in prayer to hold onto Satan and grasp Satan?
Answer:
No, who said that? This is humility before Allah Mighty and Majestic. It is humility before Allah Mighty and Majestic, standing in this state, submissive before Allah Glorified and Exalted. Yes, and it is the adornment of the prayer, as you heard. You grasp Satan and you pray. What happens? Satan is not with the one who prays. Satan does not come to the one who prays. Satan comes to the one who does not pray. As for the one who prays and stands before Allah, Satan turns away from him. Yes.
