Explanation of the Book of Prayer-10
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "And from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: Bulugh al-Maram 2:96 . Muslim narrated it" And I have left the questioner unspecified because there is no necessity to mention the questioner, since the objective is to know the ruling. This benefits you in cases where hadiths are reported in an unspecified manner, such as "from a man" or "a man said" or similar. You will find some people exerting great effort to identify that man. And I have left the questioner unspecified because there is no necessity to mention the questioner, since the objective is to know the ruling. This benefits you in cases where hadiths are reported in an unspecified manner, such as "from a man" or "a man said" or similar. You will find some people exerting great effort to identify that man. And this is if there is no necessity to do so, as it would be a waste of time. However, if there is a necessity because the ruling differs from one person to another, then it is obligatory to know this unspecified person; otherwise, there is no need. Here you say: And regarding the questioner, there is no need to search for who he is, because the objective is what? Knowing the ruling. Meaning, what the one who prays places as a sutrah for him, how it should be in length and width. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained that it is like the back of the saddle, or the back of the saddle. The saddle is what people call a shaddad; a shaddad is tied to the camel on its back, and the rider rides it and places a board behind his back to lean on, which is called the back of the saddle. It is about two-thirds of a cubit in length and width, or less than that. This is the complete sutrah. There is another sutrah that will come, if Allah wills, but the complete sutrah is that it be like the back of the saddle.
