Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In your book "Sahih Sunan al-Tirmidhi," you mentioned the report from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), which is: Sunan Abi Dawud 986Sahih (Al-Albani) After it, he said: Sunan Abi Dawud 986Sahih (Al-Albani) Al-Tirmidhi said after it: "A good, strange hadith, and the scholars act upon it." And you said in "The Description of Prayer," when discussing the tashahhud and the sunnah of concealing it, that it is good. O Shaykh, the point of this hadith is that the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud was narrated by Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, al-Hakim, and others, all of them through the route of Ibn Ishaq, and he did not explicitly state that he heard it from him. And according to my limited research, I did not find him explicitly stating that he heard it. This is the first question.
The Shaykh: Excuse me, what is the hadith? What is its wording?
The questioner :Sunan Abi Dawud 986Sahih (Al-Albani) .
The Shaykh Yes.
The questioner : In al-Tirmidhi.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is known.
The questioner : The second part of the question, O Shaykh, if the hadith is authentic with you, O Shaykh, and you mentioned that it is authentic.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: What is the criterion for concealing the tashahhud, and how is the concealment performed?
The Shaykh: The concealment is like concealing the recitation of the Qur'an in the secret prayers. There is no problem with this, unless you mean something else, in which case clarify it for me.
The questioner : I read this statement of yours to some of the scholars of knowledge, and they said that its implication is that the voice of the worshippers should be at a level where one hears oneself. So if slight whispers come out, no harm or problem occurs.
The Shaykh : I gave a very clear answer, like the recitation of the Qur'an in the secret prayer.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : There is no difference.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: All right.
It pertains to the sunnah to utter the tashahhud quietly.
من السنة أن يخفي التشهدIt pertains to the sunnah to utter the tashahhud quietly.
