Does the speech made to remind the imam if he makes a mistake in prayer invalidate it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Our master.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : You mentioned that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was reminded after he stood for the fifth [rak'ah]...
The Shaykh : No, it is not found here.
Yes?
The questioner : And he was asked by the Companions if the prayer had been increased to five? He answered them:, so did this speech, which was a response, complete his prayer?
The Shaykh : Yes, of course.
The questioner : Yes, did this not break the prayer?
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, it is in two incidents. Perhaps he means the incident of Dhu al-Yadayn. My lord, the incident we mentioned just now is as follows: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed five rak'ahs, so when he said the taslim, they said to him: "Did you add to the prayer?" He said:. They said: "You prayed five." So he prostrated two prostrations, then said the taslim, then said to them: Sahih al-Bukhari 401. So is your question about this phrase or the one before it?
The questioner : No, the one before it.
The Shaykh : The one before it, yes, the one before it. This is as the Shafi'is say: "for the correction of the prayer." This does not harm in the prayer, and this hadith is the greatest evidence for that. And also the hadith of Dhu al-Yadayn when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the Dhuhr or 'Asr prayer two rak'ahs and said the taslim, so a man known as Dhu al-Yadayn said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, was the prayer shortened or did you forget?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 1141Sahih (Darussalam). He said: "Yes, it was." Meaning one of two things. So the Messenger turned to his Companions and said to them: . They said: "Yes." So he stood in his place of prayer and came with the other two rak'ahs, then prostrated two prostrations. So this incident and the one before it were evidence for Imam al-Shafi'i that if speech comes from the one praying in the way of correcting the prayer, not as idle talk or sin, then the prayer is valid, and that does not harm its validity.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : You mentioned that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was reminded after he stood for the fifth [rak'ah]...
The Shaykh : No, it is not found here.
Yes?
The questioner : And he was asked by the Companions if the prayer had been increased to five? He answered them:
I am a human being like you, I forget as you forget
أنا أنسى كماThe Shaykh : Yes, of course.
The questioner : Yes, did this not break the prayer?
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, it is in two incidents. Perhaps he means the incident of Dhu al-Yadayn. My lord, the incident we mentioned just now is as follows: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed five rak'ahs, so when he said the taslim, they said to him: "Did you add to the prayer?" He said:
No.
لاbut I am a human being like you and liable to forget like you. So if I forget remind me
إنما أنا بشر مثلكم أنسى كما تنسَون ، فإذا نسيت فذكِّرونيThe questioner : No, the one before it.
The Shaykh : The one before it, yes, the one before it. This is as the Shafi'is say: "for the correction of the prayer." This does not harm in the prayer, and this hadith is the greatest evidence for that. And also the hadith of Dhu al-Yadayn when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the Dhuhr or 'Asr prayer two rak'ahs and said the taslim, so a man known as Dhu al-Yadayn said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, was the prayer shortened or did you forget?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
No such thing happened
