Question:
We have a call from Abu Khalid from Jeddah. Please, go ahead. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. I have three questions, may you live long. What Allah willed, please go ahead. The first question is about the hadith:Sunan Ibn Majah 999Sahih (Darussalam) The question is: What is the meaning of prayer in this hadith? I am listening. Please, O Shaykh. [Al-Ahzab 33:56]. Yes.
Answer:
Pray upon the first row. In the first row, yes. Those who know pray upon the right sides of the rows. I do not know if there is a narration that they pray upon the first row, but the meaning of prayer from Allah is His praise of His servant in the highest assembly, and the meaning of prayer from the angels is supplication for him and seeking forgiveness for him. Yes.
