The ruling on interpreting Surat al-Saffat when reciting it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh was asked about the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he did not choose to recite a clear and sane surah, so did he interpret it or not?
Answer:
What has been reported is that he interpreted it, but he recited it because it reminds the listeners; mere recitation reminds the listeners because its meanings are clear and its words are distinct. Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it completely on the pulpit on Friday; rather, he would recite from it, and recite in the second Friday, and recite until it was completed. He did not recite it completely as the scholars mentioned, but rather he would recite verses from it until he completed it. Yes.
