Explanation of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of the one who prays poorly, "And recite whatever is easy for you of the Qur'an," and the obligation of reciting al-Fatihah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) here: Sahih Muslim 397a and he did not specify, so is it permissible for a person to recite one or two verses and then bow?
The answer: No, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 397a, and he clarified in other hadiths that it is necessary to recite al-Fatihah, where he said: Sahih Muslim 394c.
And in another hadith:As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 59:39.
And al-khadaj: the defective thing that is of no benefit.
And al-Fatihah is not dropped except in one case only, which is if a person comes to the mosque and finds the imam bowing, then in this case he says the takbir of entering prayer, then he bows, and al-Fatihah is dropped from him in this case.
Pay attention, if someone says: What is the evidence?
The answer: The evidence is what is established in Sahih al-Bukhari from the hadith of Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he entered the mosque and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was bowing, so he hurried and bowed before entering the row, then he entered the row, so when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished, he asked who did that?
So Abu Bakrah said: I did. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 683Sahih (Al-Albani).
The point is his saying: and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order him to make up the rak'ah that he hurried to in order to catch its bowing.
And if he had not caught it, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have clarified that to him, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not delay clarification from the time of need.
And for this reason, when the man who does not settle in his prayer prayed, he said to him:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2692Sahih (Darussalam).
And this statement is the implication of the hadith in terms of indication, as it is the implication of reasoning in terms of analogical reasoning. How is that?
Because the recitation of al-Fatihah is only obligatory in the state of standing, and the standing in this case has been dropped for the sake of following the imam, so if the standing is dropped, what was obligatory in it is dropped, which is the recitation of al-Fatihah, and this is the stronger position of the scholars in this issue.
recite whatever you conveniently can from the Qur'an
اقرأ ما تيسر معك من القرآنThe answer: No, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
recite whatever you conveniently can from the Qur'an
اقرأ ما تيسر معك من القرآنHe who does not recite Umm al-Qur'an is not credited with having observed prayer.
لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بأم القرآنAnd in another hadith:
Every prayer in which Umm al-Qur'an is not recited is defective
كل صلاة لا يقرأ فيها بأم القرآن فهي خداجAnd al-khadaj: the defective thing that is of no benefit.
And al-Fatihah is not dropped except in one case only, which is if a person comes to the mosque and finds the imam bowing, then in this case he says the takbir of entering prayer, then he bows, and al-Fatihah is dropped from him in this case.
Pay attention, if someone says: What is the evidence?
The answer: The evidence is what is established in Sahih al-Bukhari from the hadith of Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he entered the mosque and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was bowing, so he hurried and bowed before entering the row, then he entered the row, so when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished, he asked who did that?
So Abu Bakrah said: I did. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
May Allah increase your eagerness! But do not do it again.
زادك الله حرصاً ولا تعدThe point is his saying:
And do not do it again
ولا تعدAnd if he had not caught it, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have clarified that to him, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not delay clarification from the time of need.
And for this reason, when the man who does not settle in his prayer prayed, he said to him:
go back and pray for indeed you have not prayed.
ارجع فصل فإنك لم تصلAnd this statement is the implication of the hadith in terms of indication, as it is the implication of reasoning in terms of analogical reasoning. How is that?
Because the recitation of al-Fatihah is only obligatory in the state of standing, and the standing in this case has been dropped for the sake of following the imam, so if the standing is dropped, what was obligatory in it is dropped, which is the recitation of al-Fatihah, and this is the stronger position of the scholars in this issue.
