The Prayer of Tasbih and Its Method
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the Prayer of Tasbih, and how is it performed?
Answer:
The Prayer of Tasbih has a weak hadith regarding it, stating that one prays four rak'ahs in it, with three sets of tasbih, tahmid, ta'lim, and takbir. However, these are weak hadiths. The correct view is that they are weak; the correct view is that all the hadiths regarding it are weak. The prayer is performed as Muslims now perform it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed it: he recites in the standing position, and he glorifies Allah in the bowing and prostration. This is prescribed; it is a known act of worship. As for the Prayer of Tasbih, it involves tasbih in the standing position, tasbih after the bowing, and tasbih after the prostration. The point is that the hadith is weak. Yes.
