Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ever, even once, combine intentions in a single act, such as the intention for the greeting of the mosque, the sunnah of the two rak'ahs of wudu, and the rawatib?

The questioner : I have four Syrian pounds for you. I told you, these two are for this and these two are for that, which means you have failed.

The Shaykh : No, by Allah, that is not what it means.

The questioner : As for why it means that I intend two rak'ahs for the greeting of the mosque, then entering the sunnah of i'tikaf with the greeting of the mosque, with the sunnah of wudu, and with the sunnah of Zuhr.
Another questioner: They are earning good from the Lord of the Worlds.

The questioner : Eight rak'ahs. Is this established? I mean, did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ever, even once, intend the two sunnahs together? Or did he say, "If any of you enters the mosque, let him not sit until he prays two rak'ahs"?

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.

The questioner : He did not say to combine two with two with two. And in fact, now, when one enters the mosque, the greeting of the mosque with the sunnah of wudu, with i'tikaf, with Zuhr, Allahu Akbar, and that is it, you are done.
Another questioner: The divine generosity.

The questioner : This is a reality, this is a matter of generosity, we need something from.
...

The questioner : What is your evidence for this? This is our question. It is not that we are the generosity of the Lord of the Worlds; we know that Allah is generous.

The Shaykh : Yes, when we told you the evidence, you did not stop to address the evidence; you sat there throwing doubts. I am telling you...

The questioner : ...doubts. I want something from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he did, even once. That is the question.
Another questioner: Be patient.

The Shaykh : I have not finished my speech.

The questioner : Please go ahead.

The Shaykh : When I brought you the saying of the Prophet , you did not stop there. Tell me how you derived from it, and instead you went off on a tangent, a wheel that never ends. Why did you not stop at this hadith and address it, saying, for example, how did you derive from this hadith? As if it is in your mind.

The questioner : I asked you about the evidence, I am telling you.
...

The questioner :

The Shaykh : I am also telling you.

The questioner : The point... the point of derivation from this hadith is that it is permissible to do two, four, and six.

The Shaykh : Yes, that is what you want to ask, that is what you want to ask.

The questioner : I did not, I, this is what.

The Shaykh : You did not ask this question.

The questioner : This... now, now I have clarified my question to you.

The Shaykh : There is no power and no strength except with Allah.

The questioner : ...I made a mistake, professor.

The Shaykh : My brother, do you know the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) which says to the end of the hadith, because we are witnessing this here? So this Muslim man entered the mosque and intended to pray four rak'ahs, two rak'ahs like I and you want, two rak'ahs purely for the greeting and two rak'ahs purely for the sunnah of Zuhr, the sunnah of the time, but for one of the reasons, the most trivial and lowest of them, the man did not feel like praying four rak'ahs, but he approximated the way of that Bedouin, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I will not add to them or subtract from them." I say approximated because he added, he went to pray two rak'ahs, the man other than the fard, so he intended with what he was about to do to pray two rak'ahs for the greeting of the mosque, and his intention was also the sunnah of the time. He actually did not pray but one prayer, and therefore when we detail the speech on this issue, we say that the one who prayed two rak'ahs purely for the greeting and two other rak'ahs purely for the sunnah of the time, this is rewarded according to the previous hadith, which is if my slave intends, he is rewarded for the first prayer with ten good deeds at the minimum, and the second prayer with ten at the minimum, what is the total? Twenty. But it is not so for the man who prayed only two rak'ahs with two intentions, this is rewarded with ten plus one, just an intention only.
And therefore when we want to detail and we want to classify, we say the highest rank is every act of worship for itself, the sunnah of the greeting or the obligation of the greeting for itself, and the sunnah of Zuhr for itself, the total of the two prayers' good deeds is twenty or more.
The second rank is one who prays two rak'ahs with two intentions, the total reward at the lowest rank is eleven good deeds. The last thing in the matter is one who prays two rak'ahs with one intention, he gets ten good deeds. But some people imagine that he is praying two rak'ahs with two intentions like the one who prayed four rak'ahs, two and two, with twenty good deeds. No, but instead of losing the good intention, he prays two rak'ahs with the intention of the greeting, for example, only, he does not intend another intention, and a good deed is written for him for that, and this is from the favor of Allah, the Exalted.

The questioner : ...sixteen, he did this.

The Shaykh : He did two rak'ahs, he did in two rak'ahs.

The questioner : So, since he did not do it, a good deed was written for him.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : A good deed.

The Shaykh : And he did not do it.

The questioner : I intended to pray it, but I did not have the time and I limited myself to the two rak'ahs. This can be said... this, from those who wrote for me two because there was no time, I shortened the time, and I was intending to do these four, and time shortened for me, I did two, this is correct.
Another questioner: Allah is generous.

The questioner : ...this is correct, I if I was not in it.

The Shaykh : O Abu Yusuf, who will intend this intention?

The questioner : I am telling you.

The Shaykh : Who will intend this intention other than the one who has this awareness and this feeling?

The questioner : What was our disagreement in the matter? Perhaps you sent us a paper in this matter, look, do you remember it or not?

The Shaykh : I do not remember.

The questioner : A man prayed Fajr with me, he stood up and prayed two rak'ahs after the adhan of Fajr, and here a second time he stood up and prayed two other rak'ahs. I said to him, my brother, what is this prayer? He said, two rak'ahs for the greeting of the mosque and two rak'ahs for the sunnah of Fajr. I said to him, no, my brother, a sound hadith says, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said , so the man was satisfied. And here you are forbidding the greeting of the mosque, no? My brother, I have a definitive text . First, combining in the two rak'ahs of Fajr, we do not have that, it was not reported... except the two rak'ahs of Fajr or an exception.

The Shaykh : ...an exception.

The questioner : Yes, no, no, leave the exception, that is not my intention. So they went to the right that all the time, this Shaykh, after every adhan, there must be prayer, like that. And the text is in my house and I need it.

The Shaykh : They stood up for prayer, what...?

The questioner : From the prayer of the greeting of the mosque.

The Shaykh : Yes, correct.

The questioner : In every adhan, we said to him, my brother, I have an exception, and I am the one who forbade and prohibited in the case of... a man prayed four rak'ahs after the adhan of Fajr, and I have a text that forbids him. He said, no, we brought a text from Shaykh Nasser that every adhan requires prayer, the greeting of the mosque. I said to him, my brother, either he limits himself to two rak'ahs for the greeting of the mosque, this is other than Fajr, or on the prayer of...
Another questioner: Why other than Fajr?

The questioner : Yes, why? Because Fajr has a definitive text.
Another questioner: Yes, and 'Asr has a text.

The questioner : What did 'Asr say?
Another questioner: There is no prayer except.

The questioner : Who said that? Who prayed four rak'ahs before 'Asr , a sound hadith.

The Shaykh : Why did you drop down to here?

The questioner : Perhaps your research is different from my research.
