Question:
This questioner says: Ikrimah narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to al-Abbas:Mishkat al-Masabih 1328, 1329 and he mentioned the hadith until he said: to the end, where he said: Sunan Ibn Majah 1387Hasan (Darussalam), so is the Prayer of Tasbih permissible, and is its description what is mentioned in this hadith?
Answer:
This hadith is weak and not authentic. The hadith of the Prayer of Tasbih is weak, and it is not relied upon nor acted upon. Rather, it is a weak hadith in its chain and contradicts what is in the collections of authentic hadiths, so it is not relied upon nor acted upon, as the scholars of hadith explicitly stated, may Allah have mercy on them, such as Abu Zur'ah al-Razi and Abu Hatim al-Razi and others. The imams and scholars of hadith clarified that it is not authentic, and that it is invalid. Yes.
This questioner says: Ikrimah narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to al-Abbas:
Ibn ‘Abbas told that the Prophet said to al-‘Abbas b. ‘Abd al- Muttalib: ‘Abbas my uncle, shall I not give you, shall I not present you, shall I not tell you, shall I not produce in you ten things, by your doing which God will forgive you your sin, first and last, old and new, involuntary and voluntary, small and great, secret and open? You should pray four rak'as reciting in each one Fatihat al-Kitab (Al-Qur’an; 1) and a sura and when you finish the recitation in the first rak'a you should say fifteen times while standing, “Glory be to God. Praise be to God. There is no god but God. God is most great.” Then you should bow and say it ten times while bowing. Then you should raise your head after bowing and say it ten times. Then you should get down in prostration and say it ten times while prostrating yourself. Then you should raise your head after prostrating yourself and say it ten times. ’ Then you should prostrate yourself and say it ten times, then raise your head and say it ten times. That is, seventy-five times in every rak'a . You should do that in four rak'as . If you can observe it once daily do so; if not, then once weekly; if not, then once a month; if not, then once a year; if not, then once in your lifetime. Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and Baihaqi, in [Kitab] ad-Da'awat al-kabir , transmitted it, and Tirmidhi transmitted something similar from Abu Rafi'.
يا عماه ألا أعطيك ألا أعلمك..You pray four rak'ahs...
تصلي أربع ركعات..If you cannot, then once in your lifetime.
