Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the Iraqi Republic, listener Muhammad Abdullah Khalaf sent a message containing some questions. In one of them, he asks: Is the voluntary prayer specified by the recitation of a particular surah? And what is the authenticity of this hadith from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
I do not know of any source for this report from Aisha, but it is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite in the Sunnah of Fajr [Al-Kafirun: 1] and [Al-Ikhlas: 1], and likewise in the Sunnah of Maghrib. In the two rak'ahs of tawaf, he used to recite these two surahs after al-Fatihah (peace and blessings be upon him). He would sometimes recite in the Sunnah of Fajr two verses from Surat al-Baqarah and Surat Ali 'Imran, namely the words of the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah: 136] ... to the end of the noble verse from Surat al-Baqarah, and in the second rak'ah: [Ali 'Imran: 64] ... the verse from Surat Ali 'Imran. This is established from him, and this is established from him, (peace and blessings be upon him).
It is recommended to recite these two surahs in them, meaning: in the Sunnah of Fajr, the Sunnah of Maghrib, and the Sunnah of tawaf after al-Fatihah. And at times, he would recite the two verses in the Sunnah of Fajr: the verse from al-Baqarah in the first rak'ah [Al-Baqarah: 136] the verse, and the verse from Ali 'Imran in the second: [Ali 'Imran: 64] the verse. This is the Sunnah.
I do not know of specific surahs for the voluntary prayer other than what has been mentioned. Rather, one recites in the voluntary prayer what is easy, just as one recites in the obligatory prayer. Allah said: [Al-Muzzammil: 20]. One recites in the obligatory and voluntary prayers what Allah makes easy after al-Fatihah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. He says: What is the authenticity of this hadith: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever says when he goes to his bed.”
The Shaykh: Follow...
The presenter : Yes.
The Shaykh: Follow the first question as well.
The presenter: May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh: It is established that in the Fajr prayer on Friday, he used to recite after al-Fatihah the surah [Al-Sajdah: 1, 2] and in the second rak'ah [Al-Insan: 1]. This is in the obligatory prayer. He used to recite these two surahs after al-Fatihah in the Fajr prayer on Friday: in the first rak'ah after al-Fatihah [Al-Sajdah: 1, 2] and in the second [Al-Insan: 1]. He also used to recite in the Friday prayer, in the Friday prayer, Subhan and Al-Ghashiyah after al-Fatihah. He would sometimes recite Al-Jumu'ah and Al-Munafiqun in the Friday prayer. He would sometimes recite Al-Jumu'ah in the first rak'ah and [Al-Ghashiyah: 1] in the second. These are three types, three types in his recitation in the Friday prayer (peace and blessings be upon him). All of them are preserved from him (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Friday prayer.
The first: Subhan and Al-Ghashiyah after al-Fatihah.
The second: Al-Jumu'ah and Al-Munafiqun, meaning: the surah [Al-Jumu'ah: 1] Surat al-Jumu'ah and the surah Al-Munafiqun [Al-Munafiqun: 1]. And the third type: he recites (Al-Jumu'ah) in the first rak'ah, and recites in the second rak'ah [Al-Ghashiyah: 1] instead of Al-Munafiqun. All of this is established from him regarding the description of the prayer (the Friday prayer). And all of it is recommended, not obligatory. If one recites other than these surahs, there is no blame. And it is established from him that he recited in the 'Id prayer with (Qaf) and (Iqtaraba) and with Subhan and Al-Ghashiyah, just as he recited in the Friday prayer (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. So, we move on to the second question.
The Shaykh : Yes.
