What is the ruling on the prayer of tasabih?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In English

Another questioner : Tasabih. How authentic is the hadith of the prayer of tasabih?

The Shaykh : There are two opinions on this issue: one is to classify it as weak, and the other is to classify it as authentic.

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : Then, each of these two opinions is further divided into two sub-opinions.

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : As for the opinion that it is weak, some of them rule that it is fabricated.

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : And some go a little higher and move it from being fabricated to being weak.

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : The other opinion also has some who classify it as good, and some who elevate it to being authentic.

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : This detail stems from the terminology of the hadith scholars, where "authenticity" encompasses both "good" and "authentic," and "weakness" encompasses both "fabricated" and "weak."

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : This, for students of knowledge, may sometimes remove some difficulties if one finds an imam of hadith who said this hadith is fabricated, and another who said it is weak. There should not be a contradiction between them, because the weak category includes the fabricated, as we have explained, is that not so?

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : Likewise, if one says it is authentic or good.

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : Something else.

The questioner : Your answer, what is your opinion on the prayer of tasabih?

The Shaykh : Well done. I see that it is authentic for other reasons.

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : This translation is correct, Abu Muhammad.

The questioner : In English: Authentic for other reasons

The Shaykh : Allah...

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Is your companion broke? Come on, tell him.

The questioner : Not yet.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : Come on, tell him to hurry. If your wind blows, seize it.
