Eid Abbasi : Is it recommended to say takbir for the prostration of recitation, with reference to the hadith of Ibn 'Umar in which it is stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say takbir for it?
The Shaykh : This hadith has a man in its chain who is considered weak by the scholars of hadith, namely 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar al-'Umrī. There are two men, in fact brothers: one is this 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, and the other is his brother, the younger 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Umar. 'Ubayd Allah is trustworthy, while 'Abdullah is weak due to his poor memory. This hadith was narrated by the two brothers. As for the trustworthy one, he did not mention the takbir of the Messenger (peace be upon him) for the prostration of recitation. As for 'Abdullah the elder—this is how they refer to him—the one with the poor memory, he brought this addition. Therefore, his addition is weak, indeed denounced. Consequently, all the hadiths that speak of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prostration of recitation do not mention any takbir or taslim; rather, takbir was mentioned only in this hadith. So, given the weakness of this 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar al-'Umrī the elder, he contradicted all those authentic hadiths. Any hadith that is like this is a denounced hadith.
