Explanation of the Book of Prayer and Its Times-08b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Ahmad ibn Ishaq al-Surmar narrated to us, saying: Ubayd Allah ibn Musa narrated to us, saying: Isra'il narrated to us from Abu Ishaq from Amr ibn Maimun from Abdullah, who said: .
Do we read it this way, O Shaykh? It is written: "peace be upon her"?
The Shaykh : It is written: "peace be upon her." It appears that this is from the copyists.
The reader:
قال عبد الله : فوالله لقد رأيتهم صرعى يوم بدر ثم سحبوا إلى القليب قليب بدر ، ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : وأتبع أصحاب القليب لعنة.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. This means, and I seek refuge in Allah, a great transgression, a physical and a moral violation.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the furthest of people from showing off, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him. Then they harmed him with this harm by placing the filth on him, even though he was in the safest place on earth. If a rough, coarse, uncouth Bedouin had come and prayed under the Ka'bah, Quraysh would not have harmed him. But they harmed the one who is more deserving of the Ka'bah than they are, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This indicates their resentment, and I seek refuge in Allah. But look at what happened: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed them with this supplication three times: Sahih al-Bukhari 520 Then he singled out these seven, so their bodies were dragged on the Day of Badr and thrown into a well from the wells of Badr, a foul, defiled well. We ask Allah for well-being.
Some scholars cited this hadith as evidence for the permissibility of supplication after prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against them after his prayer. In some narrations, it is mentioned that he raised his hands. However, there is no evidence for this [as a general rule], because this only happened to anger these polytheists. If he had supplicated against them while prostrating, they would not have heard it, and its impact on their hearts would not have been like its impact when he supplicated against them while raising his hands to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in this great station under the House of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
However, we say that whenever the Sunnah comes with something, we are bound by it. So the supplication of istikharah is to be done after prayer, because the Sunnah came with it. Even though Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) holds that it is like other supplications and should be done before the taslim, we do not agree with him on that, due to the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding istikharah: This is a text regarding the order, and we have no deviation from what we understood from the words of Allah and His Messenger.
And his saying:Sahih al-Bukhari 520, a curse from whom? From Allah or from people?
It appears that it is from Allah and from people as well, so that people curse them, and I seek refuge in Allah, because they are deserving of that, where they harmed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with this harm.
Let us listen, O Mahjub, you listen, and Sharafi as well.
While the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing praying at the Ka'bah, and the assembly of Quraysh was in their gathering places, one of them said: Do you not look at this hypocrite? Which of you will go to the camel of so-and-so's family, take its dung, blood, and urine, bring it, and then wait for him until he prostrates, and then place it between his shoulders? So their most wretched one rushed out. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated, he placed it between his shoulders. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained prostrating, and they laughed until some of them leaned on others from the laughter. Then one of them went to Fatimah (peace be upon her), who was a young girl.
بينما رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قائم يصلي عند الكعبة وجمع قريش في مجالسهم ، إذ قال قائل منهم : ألا تنظرون إلى هذا المرائي ، أيكم يقوم إلى جزور آل فلان فيعمد إلى فرثها ودمها وسلاها فيجيء به ، ثم يمهله حتى إذا سجد وضعه بين كتفيه . فانبعث أشقاهم ، فلما سجد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وضعه بين كتفيه ، وثبت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ساجدا ، فضحكوا حتى مال بعضهم إلى بعض من الضحك ، فانطلق منطلق إلى فاطمة عليها السلام وهي جويريةDo we read it this way, O Shaykh? It is written: "peace be upon her"?
The Shaykh : It is written: "peace be upon her." It appears that this is from the copyists.
The reader:
Then she went running to Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was a young girl, and she came running. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained prostrating until she removed it from him. Then she turned to them and cursed them. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his prayer, he said: "O Allah, be against Quraysh. O Allah, be against Quraysh. O Allah, be against Quraysh." Then he named them: "O Allah, be against Amr ibn Hisham, Utbah ibn Rabi'ah, Shibah ibn Rabi'ah, al-Walid ibn Utbah, Umayyah ibn Khalaf, Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'ayt, and 'Amirah ibn al-Walid." Abdullah said: By Allah, I saw them fallen on the Day of Badr, then they were dragged to the well, the well of Badr. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And I have followed the people of the well with a curse."
فانطلق منطلقة إلى فاطمة رضي الله عنها وهي جويرية فأقبلت تسعى ، وثبت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ساجدا حتى ألقته عنه ، وأقبلت عليهم تسبهم ، فلما قضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الصلاة قال : اللهم عليك بقريش ، اللهم عليك بقريش ، اللهم عليك بقريش ، ثم سمى : اللهم عليك بعمرو بن هشام وعتبة بن ربيعة وشيبة بن ربيعة والوليد بن عتبة وأمية بن خلف وعقبة بن أبي معيط وعمارة بن الوليد .قال عبد الله : فوالله لقد رأيتهم صرعى يوم بدر ثم سحبوا إلى القليب قليب بدر ، ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : وأتبع أصحاب القليب لعنة
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. This means, and I seek refuge in Allah, a great transgression, a physical and a moral violation.
They said: Look at this hypocrite.
قالوا : انظروا الى هذا المرائي'O Allah! Take revenge on Quraish.' He said so thrice
اللهم عليك بقريش اللهم عليك بقريش اللهم عليك بقريشSome scholars cited this hadith as evidence for the permissibility of supplication after prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against them after his prayer. In some narrations, it is mentioned that he raised his hands. However, there is no evidence for this [as a general rule], because this only happened to anger these polytheists. If he had supplicated against them while prostrating, they would not have heard it, and its impact on their hearts would not have been like its impact when he supplicated against them while raising his hands to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in this great station under the House of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).

Even though Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) holds that it is like other supplications and should be done before the taslim, we do not agree with him on that, due to the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding istikharah:
Let him pray two rak'ahs, then let him say.
فليصلي ركعتين ثم ليقلAnd his saying:
Allah's curse has descended upon the people of the Qalib (well).
وأتبع أصحاب القليب لعنةIt appears that it is from Allah and from people as well, so that people curse them, and I seek refuge in Allah, because they are deserving of that, where they harmed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with this harm.
Let us listen, O Mahjub, you listen, and Sharafi as well.
