The questioner : His saying: [Adh-Dhariyat 51:18] Does this mean in the body of the prayer, or does it mean after they have finished the prayer?
The Shaykh : No, it is after they have finished the prayer. This is what the scholars said: that after finishing the prayer, they fear that there may have been a deficiency in it, so they seek Allah's forgiveness.
And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,
وبالأسحار هم يستغفرونThe Shaykh : No, it is after they have finished the prayer. This is what the scholars said: that after finishing the prayer, they fear that there may have been a deficiency in it, so they seek Allah's forgiveness.
