The questioner : ... his arms.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... raised
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And also his statement "not spread out" ...
The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : ... on his hands in general?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : This is known from the context, yes?
The questioner : May Allah reward you, our Shaykh, some of the imams here before the prayer ... he spits, meaning on his left ... he seeks refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan ...
The Shaykh : And he is praying?
The questioner : Before the prayer, before ... when he begins after the takbir, he says "In the name of Allah" and the prayer upon the Prophet, and it is heard on the microphone, meaning "In the name of Allah" and the prayer and peace upon the Messenger of Allah.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest.
The questioner : Then he says takbir, what is the obligation regarding ...
The Shaykh : The obligation is to forbid it, it is forbidden, but do not forbid it in front of the people, not in front of the people ... you say "this was not reported," yes, raise your hand.
The questioner : Do we say from the Muslims or from the first of the Muslims?
The Shaykh : As it came in the verse, what matches the verse is the best, yes?
The questioner : Some people ... only.
The Shaykh : ...
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : In any case, this is in the night prayer as he mentioned, it will come to us, if Allah wills, wait for it until it comes, Yahya?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : My life and my death.
The questioner : In the verse[Al-An'am 6:162]
The Shaykh : Yes, it means that my life and my death are both in the hands of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). I do not die except by the command of Allah, and I do not live except by the command of Allah. If this hadith is authentic, it is obligatory to affirm it. A person has no choice but to follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, what?
The questioner : Does it suffice ...
The Shaykh : Is it?
The questioner : Does it suffice ... on some ...
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, the scholars, may Allah have mercy on them, said that it suffices from each limb a part of it, except the forehead with the nose, for both of them are necessary, yes, Salim.
The questioner : ... making the Sunnah like the obligatory ... behind the imam
The Shaykh : Even if the imam did not sit?
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : And if the imam did not sit?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : This is a mistake, this is a mistake, because this disrupts the perfection of following the imam. For this reason, the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) stated that if the imam does not consider the rest between the two prostrations, then the follower does not sit. And the reverse is the reverse: if the follower does not consider the rest between the two prostrations but the imam sits for it, then he sits absolutely... for your imam, yes?
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Regarding...
The Shaykh : No, no, he teaches them everything, he teaches them the prayer in its complete form.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : He is delayed... especially if he is seven years old.
The Shaykh : Delayed in what?
The questioner : He lags behind in understanding the prayer.
The Shaykh : In what?
The questioner : In understanding the prayer.
The Shaykh : No, no, he does not lag behind, if Allah wills, the boy is not smarter than him, for this reason, it is wisdom that a person prays the voluntary prayer in his house so that the boys see him, and we see our boys coming to imitate us while we are praying the voluntary prayer in the house, but sometimes they prostrate and the qiblah is behind their backs!
The student : Hmm.
The Shaykh : And otherwise he would always imitate you exactly, and this is one of the wisdoms of the Shari'ah that a person prays the voluntary prayer in his house so that the house does not become a graveyard where no prayer is performed, and so that the boys learn, and so that the women also follow the example, has the time ended?
The student: Yes.
