The Context of the Narrations Establishing the Prayer upon the Prophet in the First Tashahhud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The second point confirming the anomaly or denunciation of Ibn Ishaq’s report is that it has been reported in al-Musnad, al-Mu'jam, and also in al-Nasa'i that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the end. In the wording of the tahiyyat, Ibn Ishaq agreed with the majority of the trustworthy narrators.
But look now at this last report. He (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSahih Ibn Hibban 10:238 This negates and means it invalidates Ibn Ishaq’s previous report, which contained only the restriction to reciting the tashahhud in the first tashahhud.
The evidence and the summary of the discussion is that the hadiths which—please, please, O Shaykh—which support that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray upon himself in his words and deeds, these also include the first tashahhud. This is supported and witnessed by what Abu 'Uwanah reported in his Sahih from the hadith of the Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), in which she described the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) standing in the night prayer. She said he prayed eight rak'ahs, then prayed upon himself, then stood up for the ninth and prayed nine rak'ahs with one taslim. This is explicit text that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed upon himself in the tashahhud before the last one. And although this is in a voluntary prayer, first, we cited it as a witness to what we mentioned. Even if there were no other witness to it, this hadith of Aisha would stand alone in establishing the legitimacy of praying upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the tashahhud where there is no taslim, provided it is not contradicted by anything. So if there were a contradiction, we would say at that time that this is in a voluntary prayer, and the ruling differs in the obligatory prayer.
When you sit in the two rak'ahs, say: The tahiyyat, the prayers, and the good things.
إذا قعدتم في الركعتين فقولوا التحيات والصلوات والطيباتBut look now at this last report. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Then let him choose whatever he wishes from supplication.
