Explanation of the Book of Friday Prayer and the Two Festivals-10a

The reciter: Muhammad, who is Ibn Muqatil Abu al-Hasan al-Marwazi, narrated to us, Abdullah narrated to us, Ubaydullah narrated to us, from Nafi', from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from Aisha: Al-Qasim ibn Yahya followed him from Ubaydullah, and al-Awza'i and 'Aqil narrated it from Nafi'.

The Shaykh : His statement: means falling, due to his statement It is in the accusative case based on a deleted verb, the estimation being: O Allah, make it a beneficial downpour. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only supplicated with this because a downpour may be beneficial and may be non-beneficial. The evidence for that is that it is established in *Sahih Muslim* that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , so if the rain is non-beneficial, there is no benefit in it. If the Messenger says this, do we say that it is recommended for us to say it? Due to His statement, the Exalted: And is it obligatory for us to say it? No, because a bare action does not indicate obligation, meaning if a bare action is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that is not accompanied by a command or an explanation of what is commanded, then it is only recommended if he does it by way of worship.
