A hadith: May Allah have mercy on a man who prays four rak'ahs before the 'Asr prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah love you. The questioner asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith Jami` at-Tirmidhi 430Hasan (Darussalam)?
Answer : There is discussion regarding this, as some scholars have deemed it weak and stated that it is not authentic. We say that prayer between the adhan and the iqamah is all good.
For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 662 So we say: Pray whatever you wish between the adhan and the iqamah in every prayer except Fajr. The Sunnah is that a person should not pray between its adhan and iqamah except for the Sunnah of Fajr, and it should be light as well. For this reason, if a man enters the mosque after the Fajr adhan and has not prayed the rawatib, do we say: Pray the first two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque, then pray two rak'ahs for the rawatib? No, we say the best is to pray two rak'ahs for the rawatib, and that suffices for what?
The greeting of the mosque. Good. The situations in this matter are three: either he prays with the intention of the rawatib, in which case the greeting of the mosque is dropped; or with the intention of the greeting of the mosque, in which case the rawatib is not dropped; or with the intention of both, in which case he gets both Sunnahs. Or he separates each with a taslim, which is permissible, but the best is to limit it to two rak'ahs with the intention of the Fajr rawatib.
May Allah have mercy upon a man who prays four before Al-Asr.
