Question:
This is a message sent by one of the listening brothers. The sender, the listener (Brother Ali), has a collection of questions. He asks his first question and says: I want an explanation of this hadith: From al-Sa'ib ibn Yazid that Mu'awiyah said: "If you have prayed Jumu'ah, do not connect it with a prayer until you speak or leave, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us not to connect one prayer to another until we speak or leave."
Answer:
Its meaning is as it appears on the surface. When a believer says the taslim from Jumu'ah or any of the obligatory prayers, he is not permitted to connect it with a prayer until he speaks or leaves the mosque. The speaking is with what Allah has made easy of the prescribed dhikr, such as saying "I seek forgiveness from Allah" three times, "O Allah, You are Peace and from You comes peace," or "There is no god but Allah," or "Glory be to Allah," or the like of that, which makes it clear that he has separated himself from the prayer and that he has completely cut himself off from it, so that it is not thought that this prayer is an appendage to the previous one and that it is connected to it.
The purpose of this is to distinguish this from that. So, when one says the taslim from Jumu'ah, he does not connect it with a voluntary prayer so that he or others do not believe that it is tied to it and that it is obligatory upon it. Likewise, the other prayers, such as Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr, must be separated by speech, whether dhikr or other speech, or by leaving the mosque, so that it is not known that they are tied to what came before them. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. Our brother asks and says: Is this evidence for those who greet each other after the end of the prayer?
The Shaykh: No, that is something else. Greeting is something else. It is sufficient for that if he says: "I seek forgiveness from Allah" three times, "O Allah, You are Peace and from You comes peace, Blessed and Exalted is He, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor," or if he says: "There is no god but Allah alone, having no partner," and so on, or if he says: "There is no power and no strength except with Allah," or if he speaks to one of the people, then by this he has separated. As for the fact that some of them greet each other, that is something else. Even if it is after the dhikr and after everything, if he greets his brother, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
