Reading from the author's text with commentary and collation of manuscripts: "And 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated from, Bishr ibn Rafi'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated from, Bishr ibn Rafi', from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu 'Ubaydah ibn 'Abd Allah:
That his father disliked draping the garment in prayer أن أباه كره السدل في الصلاة
. Abu 'Ubaydah said: And my father used to mention that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it.
Most scholars dislike draping the garment absolutely. This is the position of Abu Hanifah, al-Shafi'i, and the well-known position from Ahmad. It is also reported from him that he only dislikes it over the lower garment (izar) and not over the shirt; this is to reconcile the narrations on the matter and to apply the prohibition to their customary clothing.
Then there was a difference of opinion: Is draping the garment forbidden such that it invalidates the prayer?
Ibn Abi Musa said: If he prays while draping the garment, there are two narrations regarding repeating the prayer, the most apparent of which is: he does not repeat it.
Abu Bakr 'Abd al-'Aziz said: If his private parts are not exposed, he does not repeat it by consensus.
Some of them did not dislike draping the garment, and this is the position of Malik and others.
The draping mentioned is that one throws the garment over one of his shoulders and does not bring one of its ends over his other shoulder. This is the explicit statement from Ahmad, and he reasoned it: because it is the practice of the Jews. And Hanzalah said: Abu 'Abd Allah said: And draping is when one drapes one end of the lower garment and does not wrap it around himself, and it is the dress of the Jews, and it applies to the shirt and others; draping the garment in prayer is disliked.
Salih ibn Ahmad said: I asked my father about draping the garment in prayer? He said: One wears the shirt, and if he does not throw one of its ends over the other, that is draping.
This is what the majority of scholars hold.
As for what Abu al-Hasan al-Amidi and Ibn 'Aqil mentioned: that draping is letting the garment hang down such that it goes below his feet and he drags it"
.

The Shaykh : Letting the garment hang down, in our view, letting the garment hang down, did he refer to it?
The reader: No, Shaykh

The Shaykh : It is in the manuscript.
The reader: "then that is letting the garment hang down, and dragging it"

The Shaykh : Letting the garment hang down
The reader: "then that is letting the garment hang down and dragging it, which is forbidden, so this is an error contrary to the majority of scholars, even though letting the garment hang down and dragging it is forbidden by consensus, and the hadiths on it are more numerous, and it is forbidden according to the correct view, but it is not draping.
The point is not this specific issue itself"
.

The Shaykh : His statement that it is forbidden according to the correct view does not contradict that it is one of the major sins, because every major sin is forbidden, and his intention here is permissibility and prohibition, and he does not intend to specify the type of prohibition, whether it is a major or minor sin, so it does not contradict his statements in other places that letting the garment hang down is among the major sins, because it entails the arrangement of the curse. Yes.
The reader: "The point is not this specific issue itself, but rather that 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) likened those who drape their garments to the Jews, thereby clarifying"

The Shaykh : Likened those who drape their garments
The Reader: Yes.

The Shaykh : With the dal here
The reader: Yes "likened those who drape their garments to the Jews, thereby clarifying the dislike of their action, so it is known that imitating the Jews: was a matter whose dislike had become established among them.
And "fuhar" of the Jews - with a dammah on the fa - : their schools. Its origin is "bahr," and it is Hebrew, so it was Arabized, as al-Jawhari mentioned"
.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And its origin is "buhar."

The Shaykh : "Buhar" with a fathah on the fa, even though it is a plural, let us look, let us look, complete it so it becomes clear.
The reader: "And it is Hebrew, so it was Arabized, as al-Jawhari mentioned, and Ibn Faris and others also mentioned: that "fuhar" of the Jews: their schools. And in *Al-'Ayn* from al-Khalil ibn Ahmad: that "fuhar" of the Jews: their schools".

The Shaykh : It appears that this is it, it appears that it is "midras" of theirs, as if it is "midras" of theirs.
The student: "Midras."

The Shaykh : Yes, I do.
The student: Let us correct it.

The Shaykh : Or the manuscript.
The student: In all the places?

The Shaykh : No, not with this.
The reader: In the place where it speaks about al-Khalil ibn Ahmad

The Shaykh : Ah?
The reader: In the quote from al-Khalil?

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, compared to what al-Jawhari mentioned.
The reader: "And in *Al-'Ayn* from al-Khalil ibn Ahmad: that "fuhar" of the Jews: their schools, and we will mention from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding the dislike of speaking their language, what supports this, and what is in the mentioned hadith of the prohibition of covering the mouth, some of them reasoned it".
