Is it prescribed for the one praying to say takbir when going down for the prostration of recitation and when rising?

The questioner : Regarding the prostration during prayer, the prostration of recitation, is it prescribed to say takbir when going down and when rising, or is it not prescribed?

The Shaykh : That is, saying takbir when going down for the prostration of recitation, and likewise when rising.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : There is no takbir in the Sunnah when going down or when rising. However, I found an athar (report) from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to say takbir in the prostration of recitation when he went down. So I think that if he was leading a group of people of the Sunnah, he would follow the Sunnah. But if he was leading a group who did not know the Sunnah and they needed to be guided step by step to learn and become familiar with the Sunnah, he would use the athar. Is that clear? Good.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : And the hadith that prohibits it is fabricated.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.
