A question about prayer that is not clear?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : … that he ordered … that he lead the people in prayer for eleven … and this only came in the narrations as mursal and munqati’ … today they pray twenty rak’ahs in twenty minutes; if they prayed two rak’ahs in twenty minutes, that would be better … so twenty rak’ahs in twenty minutes, rattling them off like a crow’s caw, this prayer is not accepted from its place, and the matter with it is as Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman said to a man he saw praying a prayer in which he did not settle, saying, “If this man dies while praying this prayer, he will die upon a religion other than the religion of Muhammad.” So let us suppose that the Shaykh … eleven is permissible.
… there is haste in it … we pray, or rather, when we are afflicted with praying behind these imams, we feel that we are racing with the imam, come on … two rak’ahs of the prayer … and then, strangely, they took.
They hasten … by … so the reciter would lengthen the recitation until they would lean on their canes; so did you not know that you should take from the Sunnah of ‘Umar only the quantity and leave the quality?
This means that the issue is one of desire.
It is an issue of following the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. The Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, if the number of twenty is correct, is lengthening in the recitation, in the bowing, and in the prostration. So why did you take some and leave some? Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : This is ignorance on his part, because the science of usul is like the science of the principles of language and its rules; all of that is derived from the study of language, and usul al-fiqh from the study of the Shari’ah, and usul al-hadith likewise. But whoever is ignorant of a thing becomes its enemy.
The questioner : … the science … in it … .
The Shaykh : And is there a hadith saying, “You must learn the science of hadith”? Where did this science come from? It came from the same path as that science, but unfortunately, whoever is ignorant of a thing becomes its enemy. Yes, indeed.
… regarding the ‘illah of the hadith … what is this that Shaykh Ibn Baz encountered.
