Supplication in the Tarawih Prayer upon Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The issue of the Shaykh’s supplication is that it is part of the Tarawih prayer, or perhaps it is a matter of numbering. It is not in the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and his Companions did not agree to make it so.
Answer:
Yes, there is no specific hadith regarding the completion of the recitation in prayer, but this is something the Salaf did. Supplication is prescribed in prayer, and since this is supplication, it falls under the permissibility of supplication in prayer.
And Imam Ahmad said, “I witnessed the people of the Hijaz and the people of such-and-such doing this.” Imam Ahmad prayed behind the imam who intended to complete the recitation of the Qur'an, and he instructed him to choose the supplications directed to him and he said the amen to his supplication. The fact that these imams did not consider this an innovation indicates that this is a practice of the Salaf. It should not be called a trial, as some people say.
You are confusing the people. This is an innovation? No, it is not an innovation, nor an innovation, nor an innovation. It does not mean supporting what you do not know. You say, “This is an innovation?” We do not allow such speech. This is the practice of the Muslims, and it is a proof from the era of the blessed generations. Imam Ahmad is from the scholars of the blessed generations, and he mentioned the completion of the Qur'an and specified it, as mentioned in al-Mughni, where it is cited explicitly from Imam Ahmad. He is from the scholars of the opposing generations, who did not do such things.
Yes, The four generations. Imam Ahmad is from the scholars of the blessed generations, and he mentioned this regarding his contemporaries from the scholars of knowledge. Supplication in prayer is prescribed in general, so what is the argument of these people except to confuse the people? It is only confusion for the people. They belittle the standing in prayer in Ramadan. The people are lazy; when you encourage them, they say, “This is an innovation, and that is an innovation.” They make the people even lazier. Yes.

Yes,
The best of you are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them
خيركم قرني هم الذين يلونهم هم الذين يلونهم
