What is your opinion regarding the takbir (saying Allahu akbar) when reciting from Surat al-Duha to the end of the Qur'an, given that it has been transmitted by mass transmission (mutawatir) among the reciters through oral transmission?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Very well, and what is your opinion regarding this takbir?
The Shaykh : I do not believe it has any basis in the Sunnah at all!
The questioner : If we say that it is established among the reciters through oral transmission, that they narrated it orally; each one receives the recitation from Surat al-Duha... with the takbir from his shaykh, as for the hadith, we say it is weak, do we not know?
The Shaykh : What... is this hadith? Is this reception not broken off somewhere?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : Meaning, is it connected to the Messenger?
The questioner : Yes, this is the meaning of oral transmission; that each one transmits from his shaykh to the Companion?
The Shaykh : Yes, who among the scholars says this?
The questioner : The scholars of recitations.
The Shaykh : No, I do not mean the living authors?
The questioner : "Ibn al-Jazari" mentioned this, he composed a chapter for it in his book "Al-Nashr fi al-Qira'at al-'Ashr"?
The Shaykh : If you had said this earlier, we would have reviewed "Al-Nashr"... regarding this statement, except after reviewing it.
The questioner : You know.
The Shaykh : ... it is easy.
The questioner : It is the last chapter, the takbir is the last chapter in the book.
The Shaykh : ... review.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But you are new to it, is it not old?
The questioner : Ah, I have not read it, although my shaykh did not refer me to this book, and I did not review it, it is only known to Abu Kathir al-Makki, his student Ibn al-Bazi read it from him orally to the Companion, and it is such, I think, meaning it is stronger, as you know, in terms of the methods of transmission.
The Shaykh : In any case, it requires reviewing the book "Al-Nashr".
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : A final question now, if the brother would allow us.
Another questioner: Go ahead.
The Shaykh : He allows you whether he is pleased or not, but it is probably better for him to... not like that?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh : I do not believe it has any basis in the Sunnah at all!
