Explanation of the Book of the Adhan-03a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, saying: Shu'ayb narrated to us from Yahya from Abdullah ibn Abi Qatadah from his father, who said: "While we were praying with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we heard the commotion of men. When he finished the prayer, he said: They said: 'We hurried to the prayer.' He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 635.
The Shaykh : The point of the evidence is his statement: "And make up what you missed." He used the term "missed" for what was missed of the prayer. It is known that if a person says "I missed the prayer," it does not mean that he is negligent regarding it, such that we would say this is disliked. Rather, he is reporting the reality that it was missed. It may be missed with regard to the congregation, or the prayer may be missed with regard to its time, as if one did not wake up from sleep until the time had passed, or similar to that.
What is the matter with you?
ما شأنكمDo not make haste for the prayer, and whenever you come for the prayer, you should come with calmness, and pray whatever you get (with the people) and complete the rest which you have missed.
فلا تفعلوا إذا أتيتم الصلاة فعليكم بالسكينة فما أدركتم فصلوا وما فاتكم فأتمواThe Shaykh : The point of the evidence is his statement: "And make up what you missed."
