Seeking Pleasure with the Five Caliphs in the Friday Sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the Friday sermon, at the end of the sermon, when the khatib prays upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and then seeks the pleasure of Allah with the Rightly Guided Caliphs, he says: “O Allah, be pleased with the five caliphs: Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, 'Ali, and al-Hasan ibn 'Ali.” What is the ruling on this statement?
The Shaykh:
This is an addition that the Salaf did not do. This is something the Salaf did not do. They did not say it. Some of the brothers, what Allah willed, have innovations and new opinions, and they have self-importance. It is not permissible. Do not go beyond what has come from the Salaf, ever. In it is good, in it is blessing, and in it is safety. Do not say anything from yourself, ever.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a man prays 'Isha', if a man prays the 'Isha' prayer
The Shaykh:
The fifth is 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz. But with this, it is not said. He said: The Rightly Guided Caliphs only. Yes.
