Explanation of the Book of Prayer and Its Times-03a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: Chapter: He exposes his upper arms and spreads his arms in prostration.
Yahya ibn Bukayr informed us, saying: Bakr ibn Mudhir narrated to us from Ja'far from Ibn Hurmuz from 'Abd Allah ibn Malik ibn Buhaynah:Bulugh al-Maram 2:184.
The Shaykh : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him.
The reader: And al-Layth said: Ja'far ibn Rabi'ah narrated to me something similar.
The Shaykh : The statement of 'Abd Allah ibn Malik ibn Buhaynah. It is not that the kasrah of "ibn" is a nunation of "Malik."
The reader: It is with a kasrah in my shaykh's copy.
The Shaykh : Is it with a nunation in your copy?
The Reciter: Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh : Why? Because Buhaynah is not a grandmother; Buhaynah is the name of his mother. And when "ibn" comes a second time, if it is attached to the grandfather, it is an apposition or a description of what came before it. But if it is attached to the grandmother or the grandfather, then what came before it is with a nunation, and it is said: 'Abd Allah ibn Malik ibn Buhaynah. This is the difference.
And the second difference: They said that if the third name is not the father of the second, a hamzah is placed between them. That is why it is with you now as "Malik ibn Buhaynah." And this is also one of the differences.
The third difference: That "ibn" in the third name follows the first name and does not follow the second name, if it is attached to other than the grandfather. But if it is attached to the grandfather, it follows the second name, because the third is the son of the second.
The questioner : ... Not clear.
The Shaykh : There is no god but Allah. Give us a man who is named after his father and his grandfather. Here.
The student: 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb.
The Shaykh : Good. 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb ibn Muhammad. You say: 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb ibn Muhammad narrated. "Ibn" is a description, is it not? For Shu'ayb? It is not a description for 'Amr. That is why it came with a kasrah, and there is no hamzah of connection between it and Shu'ayb, correct? And Shu'ayb is not with a nunation. 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb ibn Muhammad is not with a nunation. And this is a man who has a father and a mother, so we named him after his father and his mother, and we said: 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb ibn Fatimah. What did we do?
The student: We put a nunation.
The Shaykh : We put a nunation on the second name, and we placed the hamzah of connection, and we made "ibn" follow the first name, not the second. These are three differences. And in it is ... evidence of the man spreading his arms when he prostrates until the whiteness of his armpits is visible. Yes.
The questioner : The second "ibn" does not have a hamzah.
The Shaykh : What? How?
The questioner : ... Whiteness.
The Shaykh : Whiteness. In my copy it has an alif, meaning between "Malik" and "ibn" there is an alif. The narrator has the alif; the narrator has the alif.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, it is a mistake. Yes.
Yahya ibn Bukayr informed us, saying: Bakr ibn Mudhir narrated to us from Ja'far from Ibn Hurmuz from 'Abd Allah ibn Malik ibn Buhaynah:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated while praying, he used to spread out his arms so that the whiteness of his armpits would be visible.
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا صلى فرج بين يديه حتى يبدو بياض إبطيهThe Shaykh : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him.
