Answer to an objection: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the reward for the one who says, "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs the praise"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : On the contrary, if we take the beginning and the end of the hadith, we find that the end contradicts the beginning, because the beginning only indicates the prohibition of specifying the manner.
The important point is that the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 6008 does not indicate that it is not permissible for us to add to the eleven rak'ahs.
Now, if someone among the people says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
If someone says: This indicates that it is recommended that we add to the eleven rak'ahs so that we may attain the virtue of the addition, what is the answer?
Notice, my brothers, I brought up these objections because they are always raised against us, always raised against us, so if we do not find a solution for them among the people, the issue remains floating and problematic.
Now, what do you say about this?
If someone among the people says it is recommended that we add to the eleven rak'ahs, because this is from the good, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:1011?
The student: Perhaps it was (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : Like if I say "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs the praise, and He is able over all things" one hundred times.
And one who says it one hundred and one times is better than me.
The student: Regarding the night prayer...
The Shaykh : We answer this with two answers:
The first answer: We say you do not adhere to this, if the matter is as you said, then add to the twenty-three as well, make it more, as long as the issue is based on addition, so we say add to the twenty-three, why do you restrict it to twenty-three, add to the twenty-three.
So if someone says: We, yes.
The second answer: As the brother said, regarding the issue of dhikr, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:1011, but regarding the issue of the eleven rak'ahs of prayer, nothing like this has come, and acts of worship are based on what?
The student: On being restricted by the text.
The Shaykh : On being restricted by the text, it is not permissible for us to analogize one thing to another when there is a difference.
In any case, I have raised what came to my mind now of objections, because they are raised against us, and we find from some of the brothers who are eager for the Sunnah that we find from them that they think that ... .
The important point is that the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayers
صلوا كما رأيتموني أصليNow, if someone among the people says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
When he mentioned the reward for the one who says, "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs the praise, and He is able over all things," when he mentioned the reward for the one who says that, and that no one is better than him except one who does what he did or adds to it
لما ذكر ثواب من قال لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير، لما ذكر ثواب من قال ذلك وأنه لا يكون أحد أفضل منه إلا من أتى بمثل ما أتى به أو زاد على ذلكIf someone says: This indicates that it is recommended that we add to the eleven rak'ahs so that we may attain the virtue of the addition, what is the answer?
Notice, my brothers, I brought up these objections because they are always raised against us, always raised against us, so if we do not find a solution for them among the people, the issue remains floating and problematic.

إنه لا يكون أحد أحسن منه إلا من قال مثل ما قال أو زاد عليهThe student: Perhaps it was (peace and blessings be upon him).
