Do we take the apparent meaning of the hadith: "Whoever abandons the 'Asr prayer, his deeds are nullified"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: If we do not take the apparent meaning of the hadith Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2:34 and the intended meaning is the nullification of past deeds, not future ones, and that does not imply disbelief, this is an error, because the intended meaning is the nullification of the past, even for those who say that nullification is disbelief regarding the past. As for the future, if he repents, Allah accepts his repentance. This paragraph is considered void. So, do we say that, looking at the saying of Allah the Exalted [At-Tawbah 9:54] the verse, and the interpretation of the hadith . Riyad as-Salihin 1669.
The Shaykh : No, it does not contain "he believed him." He went to a fortune-teller and asked him. His prayer was not accepted for forty days. However, if he believed him, he has committed disbelief in what was revealed to Muhammad, just as the reward is negated without the establishment of the reward, so it is in the statement "his deeds are nullified," meaning the reward of his deeds, not the validity. If the reward is invalidated in the past, it means he did not fail, but there is a discussion mentioned by Khalid al-Muslih about Ibn al-Qayyim in the book of prayer. Yes. This is the book of prayer by Ibn al-Qayyim, it is famous and available in the collection of hadith. Correct.
The presenter : You are safe.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, it does not exclude [anyone], because the statement "whoever abandons the 'Asr prayer" is apparent in its generality. One who never prays, all his deeds are invalidated, all his deeds. This is what the Shaykh mentioned.
Whoever abandons the 'Asr prayer, his deeds are nullified
من ترك صلاة العصر أحبط عملهAnd what prevents their expenditures from being accepted from them but that they have disbelieved in Allah and in His Messenger
وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَن تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَاتُهُمْ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِWhoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him
من أتى أربافا فسألهand believes in him, his Salat (prayers) will not be accepted
عن شيء فصدقه لم تقبل له صلاةThe Shaykh : No, it does not contain "he believed him." He went to a fortune-teller and asked him. His prayer was not accepted for forty days. However, if he believed him, he has committed disbelief in what was revealed to Muhammad, just as the reward is negated without the establishment of the reward, so it is in the statement "his deeds are nullified," meaning the reward of his deeds, not the validity. If the reward is invalidated in the past, it means he did not fail, but there is a discussion mentioned by Khalid al-Muslih about Ibn al-Qayyim in the book of prayer. Yes.
