Salat and Its Implications-Part II

Introduction:

Salat is one of the five pillars of Islam, Imam AbiJaffarasws said: Islam was built on five pillars: the Salat , the Zakat , the Pilgrimage , the Soam (Fasting) and the Walayat . Zrara asked: What is more important among these five pillars? Imamasws responded: Walayat is the most important, because it is the soul and Hisazwj ‘Wali’ are the evidence on them (the worshipers).1 In addition, as per several traditions of Masomeenasws, Salat is not accept until Zakat is accepted (ref. footnote 45, also see www.khums and Zaqat).

In Salat and its implications Part II, ahadith on various aspects of performing Salat are compiled so that our acts of worship are performed in accordance with the Commands of Allahazwj as demonstrated and narrated to us by Hisazwj Divine representativesasws -The Ahul Baytasws.

Ali bin Mohammed heard it from some of his companions, who from al-Abbas bin Amir, who from Rabih al-Musali, who from Yahiya bun Zikaria al-Ansari who says the following:

I heard Abu Abd Allahasws say: Whoever loves to have a complete ‘Eman’ (faith) must say: ‘Everything that I say is from the family of Mohammedsaww, whatever theyasws kept secret or made public, whatever has reached me from them and all that which has not reached me.2

Faith is Worthless unless One Acts upon what One Be lieves

Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Isa, who from Adam bin Ishaq, who from Hashaam, who from Al-Haitham al-Tamini, who has said the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘O Mithm Al-Tamimi! Those people who superficially believe but disbelieve from their hearts will not get any benefits (from their faith). However, those who believe from hearts but do not practice it will not get any benefit either. Therefore, one has no belief if it’s only exoteric (Zahir) unless he also has it esoterically (Batin) and similarly one has no faith if its

only esoteric (Batin) without having it exoterically executed (demonstrating it).3

Prerequisites of Salat:

The most important one is to have firm belief (Eman) on Allahazwj and His Divine Representativesasws, has paid the due Zakat to deserving momins (believers), is in state of ‘Tahrah’ (pure) and have clean cloths and body, the place of Salat is not usurped, or one has the permission to offer Salat at a place which is not owned by him and is with Wuzu (Ablution), ahadith on these topic will be presented in relevant sections, we also recommend our readers to visit www.hubeali.com/islamic-practices, for more information..

(Amir-ul-Momaneenasws says): Allahazwj will Forgive those who offer the Salat with full recognition of its worth.4

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Mohammed ibn 'Isa from Yunus from Harun ibn Kharijah from Zayd al-Shahham who has said the following:

"I heard abu' Abd Allahasws, say, 'The most beloved deed in the sight of Allahazwj, is Salat 5. Prayer is the last item in the wills of the Prophetsas. How nice it is of a man who takes a shower or Wuzu6' properly and then moves away where no one can notice his presence when he is in Ruku7' or Sajdah8! When a servant of Allahazwj prolongs his sajdah, Iblisla (Satan) will cry and proclaim, "Woe is on me, he (this servant of Allahazwj) obeys Himazwj but Ila disobeyed, he is performing Sajdah but I refused to do”.9

(Amir-ul-Momaneenasws says): If the performers of Salat were aware of Allahazwj’s Mercy that covers them, they would never come to the end of Salat and would never raise their heads after going into prostration.10

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Mohammed ibn 'Isa from Yunus from Yazid ibn Khalifah who has said the following:

"I heard abu 'Abd Allahasws, say, 'When a person praying stands up for Salat , mercy from the horizons of the sky descend upon him as well as from the horizons of earth, angels surround him and one angel says, "Had this person known what Salat is he would not stop performing Salat .

It is a narration from him (narrator of previous Hadith) by al-Hussain ibn Sa'id from Safwan ibn Yahya from ibn Muskan from Isma'il ibn 'Ammar from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said, 'Performing an obligatory Salat is more virtuous than performing one Hajj. Performing one Hajj is more virtuous than giving in charity one whole house full of gold.’

Mohammed ibn Isma'il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn 'Isa from Ibrahim ibn 'Umar al-Yamaniy from those who narrated to him the following:

"Abu Abd Allahasws, about the words of Allahazwj, 'Good deeds eliminate bad deeds' (11: 116) has said, 'It is a reference to the Salat of a believing person during the nights that eliminate his bad deeds he has performed during the day.

And when he directs his attention towards the Salat-Mat, Allahazwj Says to the Angels: 'O Myazwj Angels! Do you see this servant of Mineazwj, how he has cut himself off from all the people and has come to Meazwj and hopes for Myazwj Mercy and Generosity and Forgiveness? Be Myazwj Witnesses that Iazwj have singled him out for Myazwj Mercy and Myazwj Honour'.

And when he lifts his hands and says: 'Allahazwj is Great!', and starts extolling Allahazwj, Allahazwj Says to the Angels: 'Do you see this servant of Mineazwj, how he considers Meazwj to be beyond any description (The most High), and Great, and Pure, and has considered Meazwj to be away from any Partner, or a Likeness, or an equal, and raised his hands to be away from what Myazwj enemies are saying about polytheism? Be Myazwj witnesses, O Myazwj Angels, that Iazwj Make him to be great in the house of Myazwj Majesty, and Purify him with the purity of the house of Myazwj Prestige, and keep him away from his errors and his sins from the Punishment of Hell and its Fires'.

When he says: 'In the Name of Allahazwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Praise be to Allahazwj, the Lordazwj of the worlds!' reads the Opening of the Book and another Chapter (of Holy Quran), Allahazwj Says to the Angels: 'Do you see this servant of Mineazwj, how he is pleasurably reciting Myazwj Words? Be Myazwj witnesses O Myazwj Angels, it will be said to him on the Day of Judgment: 'Read in Myazwj Paradise'. And he will achieve levels in accordance with every single letter of his recitation – a level of gold, a level of silver, a level of pearls, a level of jewels, a level of green diamonds, a level of green emeralds, and a level of the Light of the Lordazwj of the worlds'.

When he bows, Allahazwj Says to the Angels: 'O Myazwj Angels, do you see how he has humbled himself to the Majesty of Myazwj Greatness? Be Myazwj witness for Iazwj will Make him to be great in the house of Myazwj Greatness and Myazwj Majesty'. When he raises his head from having completed the bowing, Allahazwj Says: 'Do you see him, O Myazwj Angels, how he is saying: 'I will raise myself against Yourazwj enemies as I have humbled myself to Yourazwj friends, and been in their service'? Be Myazwj witness, O Myazwj Angels, Iazwj will Make him got to a beautiful ending and Grant him a place in Myazwj Paradise'.

When he prostrates, Allahazwj Says to Hisazwj Angels: 'O Myazwj Angels! Do you see how he has humbled himself after having raised himself and is saying: 'Although I was majestic in Yourazwj world, I have humbled myself in front of

the Truth which has been made apparent to me'? Iazwj will soon Raise him with truth, and dispel by him falsehood'. When he lifts his head from the first prostration, Allahazwj Says: 'O Myazwj Angels! Do you see how he is saying: 'Although I have paid reverence to Youazwj, I am lifting my head in disgrace in front of Youazwj'. When he goes back into prostration for the second time, Allahazwj the Almighty Says: 'O Myazwj Angels! Do you see how this servant of Mineazwj has humbled himself to Meazwj? Iazwj will repeat Myazwj Mercy on him'.

When he raises his head and stands up, Allahazwj Says: 'O Myazwj Angels! Iazwj will Elevate him due to his reverence, as he has lifted in his Salat'. Then, Allahazwj does not stop Saying all this for each and every cycle of the Salat.

When he sits, after reciting the first and the second part of ‘Tashhud’, Allahazwj Says: 'O Myazwj Angels! He has completed his service to Meazwj and worship to Meazwj, and is sitting for Praising Meazwj, and is sending salutations upon Mohammedsaww, Myazwj Prophetsaww, Iazwj will also Send Praises on him in the kingdoms of the heavens and the earth, and Salutations upon his soul from among the souls'.

When he sends salutations upon the Commander of the Faithful asws in his Salat, Allahazwj Says to him: 'Iazwj Send Salutations upon you just like you have sent salutations upon himasws, and Make himasws to be your intercessor as you have sought it by himasws'.

When he sends greetings in his Salat, Allahazwj Sends to him greetings, and the Angles send to him greetings.11

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Mohammed ibn 'lsa from Yunis ibn 'Abd aI-Rahman from 'Abel aI-Rahman ibn aI-Hajjaj from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following:

"Once I performed Salat with abu Abd Allahasws, in Muzdalifah (a place in Makkah). When heasws completed Salat heasws turned to me and said, 'O Aban, the five times Salat every day is obligatory. Those who properly observe the rules about these prayers and perform them in their designated times they, on the Day of Judgment, will come in the presence of Allahazwj with their established covenant before Himazwj, because of which they will be admitted in paradise. Those who ignore the rules about Salat and ignore the times designated for them, they will come in the presence of Allahazwj without having any established covenant with Himazwj.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Mohammed ibn Isa, who from Yunus ibn 'Abd al-Rahman from Yunus ibn 'Ammar who has said the following:

"Someone asked abu Abd Allahasws, while I was present, 'What is the rule about a man who is in Salat free of negative feelings but then he feels self-importance? Imamasws replied: If in the beginning his intention was only for his Allahazwj, then such feeling does not affect his prayers negatively, he should continue his Salat and Satan is humiliated.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umyr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurrah who has said the following:

A man entered the Masjid when the Messenger of Allahsaww was present. He began to perform Salat without properly doing Ruku and Sajdah. The Prophetsaww said: ‘He acted like a crow picking up grain from the ground. If he dies with his Salat of such conditions, he dies in a religion other than my religion.

It is also narrated by the previous narrator by his father from Hammad from Haiz from Zurarah who has said the following:

Abu Jafarasws has said: ‘you must not consider your Salat insignificant; the Holy Prophet said when he was about to leave this World, “Those who consider their Salat insignificant are not of my people, as well as those who drink intoxicating liquor. They will not be able to come to me at the pond of al-Kawthar, certainly not.

Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammad ibn Isa from al-Hussain ibn Said from Safwan ibn Yahya from Isa ibn al-Qasim who has said the following:

Abu Abd Allahasws has said: ‘A man may become fifty years old, but Allahazwj has accepted not even one Salat from him. What can be more serious than this? By Allahazwj, you may also find someone in your neighbourhood who performs Salat with you, but it is not accepted from him due to his considering

It is narrated from the same chain of narrators from Hariz from al-Fudayl who has said the following:

I asked abu Jafarasws about the words of Allahazwj, ‘Those who are protective of their Salat (23:9) . The Imam said: ‘It means obligatory prayers.’ I then asked about, ‘Those who are ever observing their Salat (70:23) . The Imamasws said: ‘It means recommended Salat.’

Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from al-Hussain ibn Said from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Dawud ibn Farqad who has said the following:

I asked from Abu Abd Allahasws about the words of Allahazwj, ‘Salat was made obligatory in designated times’ (4:105) . The Imamasws replied, ‘It is an established obligation. If you performed earlier or delayed a little, it is not harmful as long as you did not lose them altogether. Allahazwj Says about some people, ‘They lost Salat and followed their lustful desires so they face deviation (19:60) .’

Abu Ali al-Ash'ariy has narrated from Mohammed ibn 'Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Harun ibn Kharijah who has said the following:

‘Abu' Abd Allahasws has said that for Salat an angel is assigned and he has no other task to perform. When one completes a Salat, the angel takes it and ascends to heaven. If it is of the kind that is accepted, it then is accepted, but if it is of unacceptable kind, it then is said to him, 'Return it to my servant.' He then descends down with that Salat and strikes it against his face saying, "Woe is upon you. You continue to have such deeds that make me tired.’

Mohammed ibn aI-Hassan has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja'far ibn Mohammed al-Ash'ariy from al-Qaddah who has said the following:

‘Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said that a man came to the Holy Prophetsaww asking, 'O Messenger of Allahsaww, give me a good advice.' Hesaww said, 'You must not give up Salat intentionally; the community of Islam is free from an obligations toward one who gives up Salat intentionally.’

Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Mohammed ibn al-Hussain from Ali ibn Asbat from Mohammed ibn Ali ibn abu 'Abd Allah from abu aI-Hassanasws who has said the following:

‘About the words of Allahazwj: 'They invented monkish manners, even though We had not made it obligatory on them, excep t to seek the pleasure of Allah' (57: 26) , the Imamasws said that it (pleasure of Allahazwj) is a reference to Salat during the night.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, who from Hammad ibn 'lsa and Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed ibn 'Isa and Mohammed ibn Ismail from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all Hammad ibn 'lsa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following:

"I once asked abu Ja'farasws about how much of Salat Allahazwj, has made obligatory. The Imamasws said, 'During one day and night five Salat are made

obligatory.' I then asked, 'Has Heazwj named and explained them in Hisazwj book?' The Imamasws said, 'Yes, AlIahazwj, has Said to His Holy Prophetsaww, "Perform Salat after the sun declines to the west, o n midday until the darkness of the night." (I7:78) . The sun declines on midday. There are four Salat between midday and the darkness of the night. AlIahazwj has named, explained and timed them. Darkness of night is in midnight. Heazwj has then Said, ". . . and the recitation (performing Salat) at dawn and recitation at dawn was witnessed (attended by the angels of the day and those of the nights)."

These are five Salat (prayers). Allahazwj, about this issue has Said, "Perform Salat on both ends of the day, [which is sunset and morning], and in a part of the night ." (11: 116) This is al- 'lsha' Salat Heazwj has Said, "Preserve Salat especially the middle Salat ." (2:239) Middle Salat is al-Zuhr Salat which is the first Salat the Messenger of Allahsaww performed.

It is in the middle of two Salat during the day, the morning and al- 'Asr Salat. In some of the recitations it is said, "Preserve Salawat (prayers) and the middle Salat." Middle Salat is Al-ASR Salat.' About the words of Allahazwj, "Stand up praying before Allah ," The Imamasws said, 'This verse was revealed on Friday when the Messenger of Allahsaww was on a journey. The Messenger of Allahsaww prayed before Allahazwj on Friday and adapted it as it is during a journey or when at home. For those at home hesaww added two Rak'ats. Heazwj reduced two Rak'at which the Holy Prophet, had added on Friday for people when at home, because of the two sermons which a prayer leader delivers. Those who perform Friday prayer without congregation, they perform it four Rak'at like al-Zuhr Salat in other days.

Hammad has narrated from Hariz from Zurarah from who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu Ja'farasws about what is obligatory in Salat. Imamasws said, (these are) 'the time, being al-Tahur (cleansing), facing al-Qiblah (al-Ka'bah), paying attention, al-Ruku and al-Sujud and recitation. The rest are recommended in an obligatory duty.’

"Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'There is ten Rak'at in Salat. There are two for al-Zuhr, two for al- Asr, two Rak'at of Morning, two Rak'at of al-Maghrib and two Rak'at of al-'lsha' al-Akhirah.

In this number of Salats, mistakes are not acceptable. If one faces mistakes in such Salat, the person (offering it) performs it again. There are Salat which Allahazwj, made obligatory on believers in al-Quran. Heazwj Delegated Mohammedsaww, and the Holy Prophetsaww increased seven Rak'ats. There are six of them, which have no recitations. They have Tasbih (Allahazwj is free of all defects), Tahlil, (no one deserves worship except Allahazwj) Takbir (Allahazwj is great beyond description), and prayer. Mistakes within these Rak'at, are dealt within accordance to certain rules. The Messenger of Allahsaww increased two Rak'at for those at home in al-Zuhr, al- 'Asr, al- 'lsha “al-Akhirah and one Rak'at to al-Maghrib for those at home as well as for those on a journey.’

The Messenger of Allahsaww said: 'When a servant washes his face during ablution, the sins of his face fall away. And when he washes his hands to the elbows, the sins of his hands fall away. And when he wipes his head, the sins of his head fall away. And when he wipes his feet, or washes them due to dissimulation, the sins of his feet fall away.

And, if he says at the inception of the ablution, "In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful", all his body parts get purified from sins'. And if he says at the end of the ablution or the greater ablution (Janabat), "Glory be to Youazwj, our Lordazwj and Praise be to Youazwj. I bear witness that there is no god except for Youazwj, I seek forgiveness from Youazwj and repent to Youazwj. And I bear witness that Mohammedsaww is Yourazwj Servant and Yourazwj Messengersaww. And I bear witness that Aliasws is a Guardian from Youazwj, and Yourazwj Caliph after Yourazwj Prophetsaww to Yourazwj Caliphate. And theirasws friends and Trustees are Yourazwj Caliphs", all his sins shed off like the shedding of the leaves from a tree, and Allahazwj Creates for every drop from the drops used by him in his ablution and his washing, Angels who glorify Allahazwj and extol Hisazwj Holiness and Greatness, and send salutations on Mohammedsaww and hissaww goodly Progenyasws, and the rewards of that are for this performer of the ablution.

Then Allahazwj Orders, for his ablution or washing, a seal from among the seals of the Mighty Lordazwj, which is then taken to the bottom of the Throne, from where neither can a thief steal it, nor termites inflict upon it, and nor does it get spoilt by the enemies, until it returns safely back to him at a time when he is needy and the poorest in the universe. He is then given for that in paradise, the like of which the counters cannot calculate and nor can the memorizers memorise them. And then Heazwj Forgives all his sins to the extent that it gets included in his non-obligatory Salat'.14

Salat is the most favourable deed to Allahazwj. The worldly pleasures should never distract you from offering the Salat on their proper times. Allahazwj has rebuked those who disregarded the times of their Salat. Allahazwj Says: Woe to the Salat ones, who are ignorant of their Salat (107:4-5).16

"I once said to abu Ja'farasws: 'I pray to Allahazwj to keep you well, of the timing for Salat, what portion is better? Is it the beginning, the middle or the end of time?' The Imamasws said, 'It is the beginning of it; the Messenger of Allahsaww has said, "AlIahazwj Loves of good things, the most that which is done earlier.’

(Amir-ul-Momaneenasws says): Avoid offering a recommendable Salat in the time of an obligatory one. You should not leave offering the ‘Nafilas’ unless there is an accepted excuse. You may settle the missed ‘nafilas’ afterwards.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Mohammed ibn 'lsa from Yunus from Yazid ibn Khalifah who has said the following:

"I once said to abu 'Abd Allahasws that 'Umar ibn Hanzalah has reported to us from you about timing (for Salat). Imam Abu Abd Allahasws asked: If this is so then he does not ascribe lies to us. I then said he quotes your statements. He says the first Salat which Allahazwj made obligatory on His Prophetsaww was al-Zuhr Salat. Allahazwj Says: ‘Perform Salat from the time of declining of the Sun toward the West at noontime (17:78) .’ So when the Sun declines toward the West at noon time, there is no other obstacle except your ‘Nafil’18. This time continues until the shadow of an object becomes equal to its length and that is the end of this time. When the shadow of an object becomes equal to its length, it is the time for al-Asr Salat which continues until the shadow of an object becomes double its length and that is evening. (Upon listen to this, Imamasws) said: ‘He narrated the truth.’

It is when there is one-third of the night left, whiteness appears in the East which gives light to the World and after an hour it goes out. This is the time for Salat of night. It then becomes dark before dawn, and then the true dawn appears from the East.' The Imamasws said, 'Those who like to perform Salat of night at midnight that is for them.

If his face is within one hundred eighty degrees of the al-Qiblah he must turn to al-Qiblah as soon as he realises. If his back is toward al-Qiblah, he must discontinue the Salat, then turn to al-Qiblah and begin the Salat again.’

‘I once asked abu 'Abd Allahasws about a man who is in unpopulated land on a cloudy day and performs Salat facing a wrong direction, Clouds then clear and he finds out about his Salat having been performed facing a wrong direction. What he must do? The Imamasws said, 'If there is still time, he must recite his Salat again but if the time has passed, then whatever investigation he had done (previously) was sufficient."

Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Mohammed ibn al-Hussain from 'Uthman ibn 'lsa from Sama'ah who has said the following:

"I once asked the Imamasws about a man who comes to Masjid when people there have completed their Salat. Should he begin the obligatory or recommended before the obligatory (Salat which people have already completed)? Imamasws replied: 'If it is a good time it is not harmful to perform recommended Salat before obligatory. However, if he fears that the time may

end, he must begin the obligatory, which is the right of Allahazwj then perform recommended Salat whenever he wants.

The time for recommended Salat is longer. One can perform the recommended Salat in the beginning of the time for obligatory Salat, unless one is afraid of passing of the time of obligatory Salat. It is better when one performs alone to begin with obligatory Salat, if it is time for it, so that it is performed during the excellent time which is in the beginning of time. It is not prohibited to perform recommended Salat at the beginning of time up to near the end of the time (of obligatory Salat).’

Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from al-Hussain ibn Sa'id from 'Uthman ibn 'Isa from Ishaq ibn 'Ammar who has said the following:

"I once asked the Imamasws: 'Can I perform recommended Salat in the time for obligatory one?' Imamasws replied, 'Yes, you can do so in the beginning of time if you are with the Imam who leads you in Salat. If you are alone, then perform the obligatory first.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu 'Umayr from 'Umar ibn 'Udhaynah who from a number of our people, who have said the following:

"They had heard abu Ja'farasws say, "Amir al-Momaneenasws would not perform Salat during the day until Zawal (declining of the Sun toward the west at noontime). During the night heasws would not perform any Salat after al- 'lsha' up until midnight. It means that it is not time for obligatory or recommended Salat; the Messenger of Allahsaww has defined these times. However, to perform a make-up for obligatory or performing recommended Salat before or after is not harmful.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, who from Mohammed ibn 'Isma'il, who from aI-Fadl ibn Shadhan who from Hammad ibn 'Isa, who from Hafiz from Zurarah who has said the following:

"Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'If you forget to perform Salat or perform it without Wuzu' or miss your Salat which you must have performed, begin with what is first. Say ‘Azan and 'lqamah’ then perform it; thereafter perform what is after this with just 'lqamah for every Salat.' Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'If you have already performed al-Zuhr, then remembered that you have missed the morning Salat, perform the morning Salat in whatever hour you remember even if it is after al-Asr.

Whenever you remember a Salat that you have missed, perform it. Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'If you forget to perform al-Zuhr until you perform al-Asr, then remember in the middle of Salat or after you complete a Salat consider it the first one (al-Zuhr which is missed). Then perform al-Asr; it is a four Rak'at in place of another four Rak'at. If you remember that you have not performed the first one and you are in the middle of al-Asr from which you have performed only two Rak'at consider it the first (al-Zuhr), then perform the two remaining Rak'at. Then stand up and perform al'Asr. If you remember that you have not performed al-'Asr until it is time of al-Maghrib and you are not afraid of running short of its time, perform al'Asr, and thereafter perform al-Maghrib. If you have performed al-Maghrib, stand up to perform al-'Asr. If you have performed Rak'at of al-Maghrib, then you remember that you have missed al- 'Asr; consider it al- 'Asr then complete it with another two Rak'at, say Salam and thereafter perform al-Maghrib.

If you have performed al- 'lsha' al-Akhirah, but you have forgotten al-Maghrib, stand up to perform al-Maghrib. If you remember when you have performed the two Rak'at of al-lsha' al-Akhirah or you just have stood up for the third Rak'at, consider it al-Maghrib then say your Salam and thereafter perform al-Isha' al’Akhirah. If you forget Salat al-Isha' al-Akhirah until you perform the morning Salat, perform al-lsha' al-Akhirah thereafter.

If you remember in the first Rak'at or in the second Rak'at of the morning Salat, consider it al-lsha; thereafter perform the morning Salat, say Azan and 'lqamah. If both al-Maghrib and al-lsha' al-Akhirah are missed, begin with these ones first before the morning Salat, first al-Maghrib and then al-lsha' al-Akhirah. If you are afraid of the running short of the time of the morning Salat if you perform the two first, begin with al-Maghrib, then the morning Salat, then al-Isha'. If you are afraid of running short of the time of the morning Salat, prior to offering the al-Maghrib, begin with the morning Salat then offer al-Maghrib and al-Isha'. Begin with the first one because it is a Qaza'. Start

"I once asked abu 'Abd Allahasws about a man who has forgotten a Salat until the time for next Salat. The Imamasws said, 'If one misses a Salat because of forgetting or sleep, he must perform it as soon as he remembers. If he remembers it during performing another Salat, he begins with that which is forgotten. If he remembers while performing Salat of al-Maghrib behind an Imam, he completes it with an additional Rak'at, thereafter performs al-Maghrib and then aI-'Atmah, (al-'lsha' al-A khirah) thereafter. If he is performing al-Atmah alone and two Rak'at of it are complete when he remembers that he has forgotten al-Maghrib, he completes it with one more Rak'at to finish its three Rak'at for al-Maghrib, then performs al-'Atmah thereafter.'"

‘In the narration of ibn Muskan from Abu Basir from Abu 'Abd Allahasws it is said that things do not discontinue Salat, not a dog, donkey and woman, but one is better off to place a barrier in front of himself (while praying), of the size of one yard high above ground, that would be sufficient.’

Abu 'Abd Allahasws, asked to call Musaasws. Heasws was called and Imamasws asked, 'Son, abu Hanifah says that you were performing Salat and people passed by in front of you, but you did not stop them.' Heasws replied, 'Yes, O father, the Oneazwj for whom Iasws was performing Salat was closer to measws than people passing by in front of measws. Allahazwj Says, "We are closer to him than the jugular vein.'" (50: 16) The narrator has said that the Imamasws then embraced himasws and then

Aban bin Fazel has narrated from Imam Mohammed Baqirasws that Imamasws said: Mecca is called Becca due to the fact that a large number of men and women co-exist there and women offer prayers along your right hand side, left hand side and in front of you and behind you, which is only allowed for Mecca whereas it is denounced for other cities.31

Mohammed bin Muslim asked from Imam Mohammed Baqirasws: Is a woman allowed to offer Salat near a man (when he is offering Salat)? Imamasws replied, no, until there is a barrier (i.e., curtain/wall) between the two.32.

If he knows Azan he says it, if he is not well versed it is not permissible for him to say it or the 'Iqamah. One is not permitted to assign him to lead in Salat.' Heasws was asked about a man who says Azan and 'lqamah so he can perform Salat alone, and then another man comes and says, 'Allow us to perform Salat in congregation.' Is it permissible that they perform Salat with that Azan and 'lqamah?' Heasws said, 'No, but he says Azan and 'lqamah (again).’

Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim has narrated from his father from ibn abu' Umayr from Hammad ibn 'Uthman from al-Halabiy who has said the following:

"Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said: Initiate Salat by raising your hands and by opening them, then saying three times, 'Allah is great and then say, 'O Allahazwj, You are the True owner.

my sins; no one other than Youazwj is Able to forgive sins.' Then say two times, 'Allah is Great.' Then say, '(O Allahazwj), here I am to obey Your Command and I am pleading help from Youazwj (to accomplish my duty); all good is in Yourazwj Hands and evil has no way toward Youazwj. Guided are those whom Youazwj have Granted guidance. There is no place of refuge other than Youazwj. Youazwj are free of all defects and compassionate, the most Blessed, the most High. Youazwj are free of all defects and You are the Lord of the House.' Then say two times, 'Allah is Great.' Then say. 'I have turned my face toward the Oneazwj who has Created the skies and the earth. Youazwj have knowledge of the unseen and the seen. I am humble before and submitted to the will of Allahazwj and I am not one of the pagans. My Salat, my practices, my life and my death are all for the sake of Allahazwj, Cherisher of the worlds. Heazwj has no partner. I am commanded to speak as such and I am from the Muslims.' Then seek refuge with Allahazwj against Satan, who is subject to stoning and then read al-Fatihah."

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn 'Isa who has said the following:

"Abu' Abd Allahasws one day asked me, 'Do you know how to perform Salat properly?' I said, 'I keep the book of Hariz with me in Salat.' The Imamasws said, 'Never mind, O Hammad. Stand up and perform Salat.' The narrator has said, 'I then stood up in hisasws presence, facing the direction of Qiblah (Makkah). I began performing Salat, with Ruku' and Sajdah.' Imamasws then said, "O Hammad, you do not know how to perform Salat properly. It is a shame for a man of your people who at the age of sixty or seventy cannot even perform one Salat according to its complete rules and manners.'

Hammad has said, 'I belittled myself very much at this point. I then asked Imamasws saying, "I pray to Allahazwj to keep my soul in service for your cause teach me how to perform Salat properly.’

Salat and Its Recognition-Part II 39 out of 161

Abu 'Abd Allahasws stood up straight facing the direction of Qiblah. Imamasws allowed his hands to rest on his thighs, with his fingers close side by side, kept his feet near each other, only leaving between them a distance of three fingers opened up, with his toes facing the direction of Qiblah without allowing them to deviate from this direction and with humbleness said, 'Allah is Great.'

Imamasws then recited al-Hamd (the first Chapter of the Holy Quran) with clarity and fluency and Chapter 112 (Qul ho Willah ho Ahad) of the Holy Quran. Imamasws then paused for a breath while still standing and raised his hands up to the sides of his face and said, 'Allah is Great,' while still.

Imamasws then bent down for Ruku' (kneeling). Imamasws then placed his palms over his knees allowing them to be filled up with his knees that were separate from each other, and pressed them backward until his back became so straight level that even had there been a drop of water or oil it would not flow to any side. He stretched his neck forward, lowered his eyes and then said with clarity and fluency three times , 'I praise my Allah, the Great, Who is free of all defects.' Imamasws then stood up straight. While standing straight Imamasws said, 'Allah hears all those who praise Him.' Imamasws then while standing raised his hands up to the sides of his face and said, 'Allah is Great.'

Then Imamasws bowed down for sajdah. Imamasws opened his palms with his fingers close side by side, placed them near his knees on the sides next to his face and said, 'I praise my Allah, the most High who is free of all defects,' three times . He did not place any other part of his body on any other part thereof. He performed sajdah on eight parts of hisasws bones: his palms, knees, big toes of his feet, his forehead and his nose. The Imamasws said, 'Placing seven parts of these bones on the ground is obligatory during sajdah but one of them (the nose) is not obligatory. This is what Allahazwj has spoken of in the Quran, "The parts of the body to be placed on the ground d uring sajdah belong to Allah, you then must not worship a nyone other than Allah" (72: 17) . Such parts are forehead, palms, knees and big toes of feet. Placing one's nose on the ground is optional.'

Imamasws then raised his head from sajdah. When he sat up straight, Imamasws then said, 'Allah is Great.' Imamasws then sat on his left thigh placing the back of his right foot over the sole of his left foot and then said, 'I seek forgiveness from Allahazwj, my Allahazwj and turn to Himazwj in repentance.' Imamasws then said, 'Allah is Great.' Then heasws bowed down for the second sajdah, saying therein what Imamasws had said in the first sajdah.

Imamasws did not place any other part of his body on any other part during Ruku' or sajdah. Imamasws spread his elbows and did not place hisasws arms on the ground. In this way, Imamasws performed two Rak'ats of Salat. Imamasws kept the fingers of his hands close side by side when reciting Tashud41 in a sitting position. When Imamasws finished saying the Tashud, Imamasws then read Salam and said, 'O Hammad, you must perform Salat like this.’

After completing 'Umm al-Kitab he does not say it before the chapter (112nd surah from Quran, i.e., Qul Ho Wal)43 and the al'Abbasi says that it is not harmful'?' The Imamasws wrote with his own handwriting, 'He should read it again; he reads it again twice to emphasise against al-'Abbasi.’

‘Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said that if you perform Salat with a people and the Imam reads bisme rabbik (Chapter 96) or something of al-Aza'im, completes his reading and does not do to Sajdah, you just make a gesture for it. A woman experiencing Hayd (menses) must perform Sajdah when listening to such reading.’

"Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'When you want to kneel for Ruku' say, 'Allah is Great', then assume Ruku' position and say, 'O Allah, I have knelt down for You, I am submitted to Youazwj, I believe in Youazwj, and I plead before Youazwj to be my attorney. Youazwj are my Allahazwj. My heart, my ears, my eyes, my hairs, my skin, my flesh, my blood, my bone marrow, my bones, my nerves and all that my legs support of me are humble before Youazwj without reservations, arrogance or tiredness.' Say three times , 'My Allah, the Great, is free of all defects and I praise Himazwj,' with clarity and fluency. In Ruku' position you should level up your feet with a distance of one shibr (6-8 inches) between them, place your palms over your knees, first your right palm on the right knee, and then the left palm over your left knee. Open your fingers and make them to hold the sides of your knees, keep your back straight, stretch your neck forward and keep your eyes to look between your feet.

Then, while standing straight, say, 'Allah Hears all who Praise Himazwj. All Praise Belongs to Allahazwj, Allahazwj of the worlds, the owner of Might and Majesty. Greatness belongs to Allahazwj, Allahazwj of the worlds,' raise your voice when saying this, then raise your hands for saying 'Allahazwj is Great' and then bow down for sajdah.’

(Then raise your head and) while sitting straight between the two prostrations, say, 'O Allah, Forgive me, Grant me mercy, Grant me protection, and Defend me against my enemies.

Salat and Its Recognition-Part II 48 out of 161

‘Abu 'Abd Allahasws once said that a position nearest to Allahazwj during one's Salat is the position of prostration. ’What do you say during your prostration?' I said, 'May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause; teach me what I should say.' The Imamasws told me to say, 'O Lord of lords, O King of kings, O Master of masters, O Mightier than mighty ones, and O Allah of those who are worshipped, O Allahazwj Grant Mohammedsaww and hissaww familyasws a compensation worthy of their serving Yourazwj cause, please Grant my such and such wishes.' Then say, 'I am Yourazwj servant and my forehead is in Yourazwj Service'; then ask for your wishes that you like; Allahazwj is generous and nothing seems great before him.’

The Imamasws said, 'You must plead (before Allah) when you are in Sajdah position; the nearest position to Allah for a servant of Allahazwj is one's position in Sajdah.' I then asked, 'Can I plead (before Allahazwj) in obligatory Salat and mention my needs?' The Imamasws replied, 'Yes, you can do so; the Messenger of Allahazwj had done so. Hesaww pleaded (before Allahazwj) against a people and mentioned their names and the names of their fathers. After him AIiasws also had done so.’

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed ibn 'Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Mohammed ibn Sulayman from his father who has said the following:

"Once I accompanied abu aI-Hassan, Musa ibn Ja'farasws to see some of his properties. Imamasws had prepared himself for noon-time Salat. When heasws finished heasws bowed down to prostrate before Allahazwj. I heard him saying with a sad voice and tears causing an unevenness of sound in his throat, 'O Allah, I have disobeyed Youazwj with my tongue. Had Youazwj wanted, I swear by Yourazwj majesty, Youazwj could have made it dumb.

I have disobeyed Youazwj with my eyes. Had Youazwj wanted, I swear by Yourazwj majesty, Youazwj could have made them blind.

I have disobeyed Youazwj with my ears. Had Youazwj wanted, I swear by Yourazwj majesty, Youazwj could have made them deaf.

I have disobeyed Youazwj with my hands. Had Youazwj wanted, I swear by Yourazwj majesty, Youazwj could have crippled them.

I have disobeyed Youazwj with my legs. Had Youazwj wanted, I swear by Yourazwj majesty, Youazwj could have paralysed them.

I have disobeyed Youazwj with my genital organ. Had Youazwj wanted, I swear by Yourazwj majesty, Youazwj could have made it barren.

I have disobeyed Youazwj with all parts of my body which Youazwj have gifted me with and this is not the way I should have returned Yourazwj favours.'

The narrator has said that I counted his saying' al-afw' one thousand times. Imamasws then made the right side of his face touch the ground and I heard him saying in a sad voice, 'I have come to Youazwj with sin and bad deeds, I have done injustice to myself so please forgive me; no one is able to forgive sins except Youazwj, O my Allah'- three times.

Then Imamasws made the left side of his face touch the ground and I heard him say, '(O Allahazwj,) forgive the one who has bad deeds and has accumulated sins but is humble and has confessed his sins' - three times. Then heasws raised his head."

‘Abu Ja'farasws once asked me, 'Do you know what the limits of Ruku' (bowing down on one's knees) and Sujud are'?' I replied, 'No, I do not know them.' The Imamasws said, 'Say Tasbih (my Allah) the most Great, is free of all defects and I praise Himazwj in Ruku' repeat three times . In Sujud position say, 'My Allah the most High is free of all defects and I praise Himazwj repeat three times . One who reduces one of these Tasbih has reduced one-third of his Salat. One who has reduced two of them has reduced two-thirds of his Salat and one who does not say Tasbih has lost (all of) his Salat.’

Salat and Its Recognition-Part II 52 out of 161

Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Mohammed ibn al-Hussain who has said the following:

‘Certain ones of our people wrote to abu al-Hassanasws, asking about Salat on glass. The narrator says when I finished the letter, I reconsidered it said to myself that it is something that grows from earth, so I do not need to write and ask the Imamasws. The Imamasws wrote to me, ‘You must not perform Salat on glass even though your soul has spoken to you that it is of what earth grows. However, it is from salt and sand and they both are metamorphosed/transformed.’

Ali has narrated from his father, who from Hammad ibn 'Isa and Mohammed ibn Isma'il from aI-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn 'Isa and Mohammed ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from Hammad ibn 'Isa from Hariz, who from Zurarah who has said the following:

"Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'When you stand up for Salat do not allow one foot to touch the other, leave between them a distance of one finger at the least and one Shibr (about 8 inches) at the most. Allow your shoulders to relax and leave your hands alone. Do not criss-cross your fingers. Instead they should be kept on your thighs on its front side and your eyes should look at the place for prostration.

During Ruku' position line up your feet with a distance of one shibr in between them, allow your fingers to hold on to your knees. Place your right palm on your right knee before placing the left palm on your left knee. Allow your fingers to reach to the sides of your knees and stretch your fingers when placed on your knees. If during Ruku the tips of your fingers reach your knees it is sufficient but I like that your palm should rest on your knees so you can allow your finger to hold to your knees while they (knees) are kept apart. Your back should be straight, your neck stretched forward and your eyes should be looking between your feet.

"When you are ready for prostration, raise your hands for saying "Allah is Great", then bow down for prostration. First your hands should be placed on the ground, before your knees, together but do not place your forearms on the ground as beasts do. You must not place your forearms on your knees or thighs but open them up as wings with your elbows. You must not touch your knees with your palms and do not place them very close to your face. Place them in between level with your shoulders.

You must not place them in front of your knees. Place them a little out, extend them on the ground and keep them a little toward you. If there is some cloth underneath, it does not matter, and if you allow them to be placed on the ground it is better. You must not keep your fingers apart from each other during your sajdah but keep them close side by side.'

The Imamasws said, 'When you sit up straight for reading the Tashud, keep your knees touching the ground and a little apart from each other. The back of your left foot should be on the ground, the back of you right foot should be placed on the bottom of your left foot and both hips should be placed on the ground as well as the tip of the big toe of your right foot. You should never sit on both your feet ; it may hurt you. You should not sit so that way some parts of you are sitting on the others on the ground and you cannot bear sitting this way for reading the Tashud and supplications.

Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith, it is narrated Hammad ibn 'Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following:

‘The Imamasws has said, 'When a woman stands up for Salat she should place her feet close to each other and should not keep them apart from each other. She should keep her hands over her chest to the place of her breast. In Ruku' position she should place her hands above her knees on her thighs so as not to bend down very much to lift up her rear end.

When sitting, she should sit on her posteriors unlike a man. When bowing down for prostration she should first bring down her knees before her hands, and then place herself on the ground. When sitting she should keep her thighs together and raise her knees from the ground. When moving to stand up a woman should rise upward without allowing her rear end to be seen being lifted up first.’

The Imamasws said, 'You must not place your hand on your other hand; Majus (Zoroastrians) people would do so. You must not cover your mouth, do not hold your limbs tightly together and do not squat (sit on one's heels) and do not place your arms flat on the ground.’

The Imamasws answered him by reciting Allahazwj’s saying: In the heavens there is your sustenance and (it is) that which you were promised. We should seek the sustenance from its source. It is that of which Allahazwj promises in the heavens.53

Mohammed Bin Abdullah Bin Jaafar Al-Hemyari wrote a letter to Moulana Sahib Al-Zamanajfj in which he asked Himasws about Qunut in the daily obligatory Salat, he asked whether after the Qunut one should touch his face and chest? Because of one hadith that says: Allahazwj never returns hands empty and fills them from Hisazwj mercy. But some among us say it is not applicable here (Qunut), because it is an innovation (bidath). Imamajfj responded in hisajfj message (tauqee) that it is not permissible to bring hands on the head and the face in obligatory Salat instead upon finishing (qunut) one should bring his palms down from the front of his chest slowly to the level of one’s knees and say takbeer and go into bowing (rukuh).59

"I heard abu 'Abd Allahasws say, 'The excellence of prayer, after an obligatory Salat, over prayers after non-obligatory Salat, is like the excellence of obligatory Salat over non-obligatory Salat.'

The Imam then said, 'Pray to Allahazwj and do not say that matters are settled. Prayer is worshipping. Allahazwj has said: ‘Those who belittle worshipping Me will go to hell in humiliation." He has also sai d, "Pray to Me. I answer your prayers." (40:60) . The Imamasws then said, 'When you want to pray to Allahazwj, you should speak of Hisazwj glory. You should praise Himazwj, speak of Hisazwj Majesty, say that Heazwj is the only Allah who must be worshipped and speak of Hisazwj praise. You should say, "Allahumma Salli 'Ala Mohammed wa 'Ali Mohammed (O Allah grant Mohammed and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Yourazwj cause)," then ask for your needs, you will receive what you need.’

‘Abu' Abd Allahasws has said, 'If one speaks of the Glory of Allah after completing an obligatory Salat in the form of Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahraasws', and following this says, one hundred times, "No one deserves to be worshipped except Allahazwj," Allahazwj Forgives him.’

Ahmad ibn Idris from Mohammed ibn Ahmad in a marfu manner has said the following:

‘Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said, 'If you face uncertainty about Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahraasws, say it again.’

A question was asked, among several questions, from Imam-e-Zamanajfj, Imamajfj wrote back in a letter (Touqi):

Question: What if one recites more than 34 times ‘Allah’Akbr’ in Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahraasws by mistake, does he need to go back and restart the Tasbih or revert back to no. 34 and continue from there? How about if one

62 Reciting Allah ho Akbar 34 time, Al-Hamdollillah 33 time and Subhan Allah 33 times (100 in total).

has gone up to 67 (34+33 - instead of saying ‘Alhamd’ Allah’ but kept on saying Allah’Akbr), does he restart the Tasbih or revert back? What shall one do under these mistakes?

Answer of Imamajfj: In mistake of Allah’Akbr, one should go back 33 and start from there (Alhamd’ Allah); but if mistake is in ‘Subhan Allah’ and has gone more than 67 then go back to 66 and then start from there. However, if mistake is ‘Alhamd’ Allah’ and has even reach 100, then there is no harm in it.63

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn 'lsa from Hariz from Zurarah, who has said the following:

"Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'Do not forget' - or that he said 'you must not forget appealing before Allahazwj after every obligatory Salat about the two essential matters. ‘I then asked, 'What are the two essential matters?' The Imamasws replied, 'Appealing before Allahazwj for paradise and seeking refuge with Allah against the fire.’

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Dawud al-'jiliy Mawla' of abu al-Mighra' who has said the following:

‘I heard abu 'Abd Allahasws say, 'Three things are awarded (by Allahazwj) after listening to creature's hearing. They are paradise, the fire and al-Hur al-'Ayn. When a servant of Allahazwj completes his Salat then pleads and says, "O Allah, set me free from the fire, admit me in paradise and join me as a pair with al-Hur al-'Ayn." The fire then says, "O Allah, Your servant has pleaded before Youazwj to set him free from me, so please set him free." Paradise will say, "O Allah, Your servant has prayed to Youazwj to make me his dwelling so please make his wish to come true." AI-Hur al'Ayn will say, "O Allah, Yourazwj servant has prayed to be joined in pairs with us so please make his wish to come true." But if he goes away after completing his Salat without praying to Allahazwj for any of these things, al-Hur aI-'Ayn will say, "This servant of Allahazwj has abstained from being joined in pairs with us.’

‘I once said to one of the two Imamasws 'There is a man who does not know if he has performed one or two (Rakat). The Imamasws said, 'He performs his Salat again.’ I then asked, 'There is a man who does not know if he has performed two or three. The Imamasws said, 'If he doubts after entering the third Rak'at, he continues his Salat, then performs one more (Rak'at); and he is not obligated for anything in this matter and he says the phrase of offering greeting of peace.' I then asked, 'One does not know if it is the second or fourth (Rak'at).' The Imamasws replied: He says the phrase of offering greeting of peace (says Salam at 2nd rakat) and performs two Rakat, says the phrase of offering greeting of peace and he is not obligated for anything in this matter.’

‘We once asked the Imamasws about a man who doubts very often and does not know how many Rak'at he has performed and how many Rak'at remain. Imamasws said, 'He performs again.' We then asked, 'It becomes a great many on him, because every time he performs again he doubts.' Imamasws said, 'He continues with his doubts.' The Imamasws then said, 'You must not allow the filth to mix with your souls by discontinuing your Salat to feed him. Satan, the filthy gets used to whatever habit he is allowed. One of you may continue with his guess and do not discontinue Salat very often. If one does so several times, doubt does not return to him. Zurarah has said that the Imamasws then said, 'The filthy wants to be obeyed. If he is disobeyed, he does not come back to anyone of you.’

He then asked, "O Messenger of Allahsaww, sometimes my children go out after the cattle, only then my family and I remain home. I then say Azan and Iqamah and lead them in Salat. Am I a congregation? The Messenger of Allahsaww replied, "Yes, you are a congregation." He then asked, "O Messenger of Allahsaww, the female (his wife) goes for her things to do and I then remain by myself. I then say Azan and Iqamah and perform Salat. Am I a congregation?" The Messenger of Allahsaww replied, "Yes, the believer, by himself is a congregation.’

Hammad has narrated from Hafiz from Zurarah and al-Fudayl who have said the following:

"We once asked Imamasws, 'Is Salat in congregation obligatory?' The Imamasws said, 'Salat is obligatory but congregating for it in general is not obligatory; however, it is of the Sunnah. Whoever omits it in disregard and in disregard of the group of believers without a good reason, his Salat is not anything of value.’

It is narrated that when a Momin offers Salat after reciting ‘Azan’ and ‘Aqama’, two rows of angels offer Salat behind him but when he offers Salat after reciting only ‘Aqama’ but without ‘Azan’ then only one row of angels stand behind him. The length of the row of angels is the distance between the East and West.73

Ali ibn Mohammed has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Ali ibn Rashid who has said the following:

"I said to abu Ja'farasws 'You have different friends, thus, I perform Salat behind every one of them.' The Imamasws replied, 'Do not perform Salat behind anyone whom you cannot trust in matters of his religion.

He then said: 'I have many friends.' I said, 'You have many companions.' He then immediately, before I could mention their names, said, 'No, (do not mention their names). Ali ibn Hadid requires you to do this. Is this what Ali ibn Hadid commands you to do?' I replied, 'Yes, that is correct.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu 'Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following:

"I once asked abu' Abd Allahasws about the barn of sheep. The Imamasws said, 'You can perform Salat there but do not perform Salat in the place where camels are kept, unless you are afraid for loss of your property, in which case, you can sweep and sprinkle water on it, then perform Salat there.'

I then asked abu 'Abd Allahasws about performing Salat on a roadside. The Imamasws said, 'It is not an offence to perform Salat in such place but not in the middle of a road.'

The Imam said, 'It is undesirable to perform Salat on salt grounds unless there is a soft area on which the forehead can rest in a level manner.' He (the narrator) has said that he then asked the Imamasws about performing Salat in al-Bi'ah (Church). The Imamasws replied, 'If you can face al-Qiblah, then it is not an offence to perform Salat there.' He (the narrator) has said that I saw him (the Imamasws) in rest areas on the road to Makkah sometimes sprinkle water on the place for his forehead during Sajdah, and perform Sajdah when still wet, as The Imamasws sometimes would not sprinkle water if it was fine.

‘He (the narrator) has said that he asked the Imamasws about a man who sails in water and time for Salat arrives. The Imamasws said, 'If he is in a war only making gestures for Salat is sufficient but if he is a merchant, he is not to sail before performing Salat.’

‘Zurarah once asked abu 'Abd Allahasws about foxes, fennec and squirrel and so on of hair. The Imamasws then took out a book that the Imamasws had containing the dictations of the Messenger of Allahsaww and it said, 'Salat performed with hair of everything of inedible flesh is unlawful. Thus, Salat performed with the fur, hair, skin, urine, dung, milk and with everything from such animals is invalid and unacceptable until one performs with something else which Allahazwj has made of edible flesh. The Imamasws then said, 'O Zurarah, this is from the Messenger of Allahsaww; preserve it. O Zurarah, if it is from edible animal, performing Salat with its fur, urine, hair, dung, milk and everything from it is permissible, if you know that proper slaughtering has taken place, which makes it clean. If it is from something which is not made lawful for you to consume as food but is made unlawful, performing Salat with it is invalid, regardless if slaughtered properly or not.’

Ali ibn Mohammed ibn 'Abd Allah has narrated from Ishaq al-'Alaviy from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Mohammed ibn Sulayman al-Daylamiy from 'Aytham ibn Aslam al-Najashiy from abu Basir who has said the following:

"I once asked abu' Abd AIlahasws about Salat with furs. The Imamasws said, 'Ali ibn al-Hussainasws, was sensitive to cold and fur from Hijaz was not sufficient for him because tanning is by the pod of a species of a tree. He would send for fur from Iraq and the Imamasws used it, but during Salat removed it as well as the shirt underneath the fur. When asked about it, the Imamasws answered, 'People of Iraq consider of skins of dead animals as lawful. They think tanning makes them clean.’

The Imamasws said, 'No, you cannot do so; however, it is not an offence to sell it and say that the one from whom you purchased has said that it is from properly slaughtered animals.' I then asked, 'What has destroyed it?'

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu 'Umayr from Hammad ibn aI-HaIabiy who has said the following:

"Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said: 'We instruct our children to perform Salat when they are five years old. Instruct your children to perform Salat when they are seven years old. We instruct our children to fast when they are seven years old if they can endure fasting even up to midday, or more than this or less. When thirst and hunger bothers them, they discontinue the fast. This is to familiarise them with fasting and to build their endurance to fast. So instruct your children to fast when they are nine years old and for as much of the day they can fast. When thirst bothers them, then you should allow them to discontinue their fast.’

For Sajdah one closes one’s eyes, then says Tasbih and then opens one's eyes, which is considered raising one's head from Sajdah. Then one says Tashahhud and ends Salat.’

Imam Ali Rezaasws said: May Allahazwj Curse those who have modified the Words of Allahazwj. By Allahazwj, His Prophetsaww never said something like this. But Prophetsaww said: ‘Allahazwj Sends an angel, from the skies, during the last 1/3 part of every night but particularly in early hours on Friday night, and Allahazwj Asks him (the angelas) to announce, Allahazwj will Bless those who are praying for their needs, Forgive those who are seeking forgiveness, will accept repentance of those are pleading guilty. O seeker of ‘Al-Khar’81 come and find refuge, O trouble maker, be warned, to abstain from it. The angelas keeps on repeating these (statements) until the time of al-Fajr. After the onset of Al-Fajr, the angelas returns back to the heavens. This hadith has been like this and was narrated to me by my father, who heard it from my forefather, who heard it like this from Prophetsaww.82

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Mohammed ibn 'Isa from Yunus from Aban from 'Isma'il al-Ju'fiy from 'Umar ibn Hanzalah who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu 'Abd Allahasws about Qunut (supplication after recitation) on Friday. The Imamasws said: 'You are my messenger to them in this matter. When performing in congregation, it is in the first Rak'at, but when performing alone, it is in the second Rak'at before Ruku.’

Congregational Salat on Friday (Salat-e-Jummah) Most of Muslims believe that Salat-e-Jummah (Friday congregational) are compulsory, as per Sura-e-Jummah and consider Jummah as a special day. The condition of the Just Imamasws (Ul’il Amr) is the most important condition and accepted condition, since two Rakat Salat is replaced by the Sermon from the most knowledgeable and well-versed Imam. However, Sunnis would

take any Muslim/non-Muslim ruler as Ul’il Amr but the twelve Immami (Shias) only take Allahazwj's appointed representative (Prophet or Imam) as Ul’il Amr. Therefore, these days, Sunnis declare Salat-e-Jummah compulsory, whereas Shia scholars find it difficult to pronounce it 'Wajib', during the major occultation of Imam-e-Zamanaajfj. However, out of an extreme desired and to remain together with others Muslims, they have devised an innovative term 'Wajib-e-Tahrri' by twisting and turning their own principles (Fiqh), a term unfound in any tradition of Masomeenasws. The term means that Jummah prayers are 'not wajib' but 'Near-wajib', as one says so-called Imams or Niab-e-Imam is not entirely 'Hujjat' on Shias but 'Near-Hujjat'. This is the general perspective, among most of Usooli shia scholars and their followers. There are, of course exceptions, some shia scholars have declared Jummah prayers (in the absence of Imam-e-Zamanajfj) void. Whereas some have stretch the fabric of 'Near-Wajib' to 'Just Wajib', through coming up with various definitions of their nearness to Imam-e-Zamanajfj, i.e., Wali-e-Faqi, Wali-al-Amr-wal-muslameen.83 Against all this background, we present brief review on Salat-e-Jummah, in the light of traditions of masomeenasws, explaining the Sura-e-Jummah and strive to gain more insight into the validity of Salat-e-Jumamh during the major occultation of Imam-e-Zamanajfj.

‘I once asked abu Ja'farasws about a man who returns home from a journey. To what time is he required performing his Salat as reduced, and when is he required to perform his Salat in full? The Imam said, 'If he enters a land and he becomes certain of staying there for ten days, and then perform his Salat as full. If he does not know for how long he is going to stay there and thinks that he may leave from there by tomorrow or the next day, then he should perform his Salat, as reduced up to a month. However, when a month passes in such condition, then he should perform his Salat in full even if he decides to leave at that hour.’

He has a house there and he passes by al-Kufah just as a passer-by without an intention to stay there except for picking up supplies within one or two days. The Imamasws said, 'He is required to stay in one side of the city and perform his Salat as reduced.' I then asked, 'What is he required to do if he visits his family?' The Imamasws said, 'He is required to perform his Salat in full.’

Salat and Its Recognition-Part II 111 out of 161

Imam Abu Abdullahasws said, ‘Qasr and Iftar’ are connected to each other, hence who offers Qasr Salat, he should break his ‘Soam’ (fast).89

It is referred to Imam Ali Rezaasws that it is mandatory, without increasing or decreasing it, to ‘Qasr’ Salat at a distance of ‘Eight Farsak’90 (27.3 miles) because this is the usual travelling distance of ordinary people (as per their walking speed) in a day so this is the limit for ‘Qasr’ if one does not take it as ‘Qasr’ then one thousand years’ travel is not enough for ‘Qasr’ as the next day will be the same as the previous day.91

The same tradition is also reported in ‘Illul Shara’ and ‘Ayon-ul-Akbar’ with the addition that Molaasws commented on the variation of the travelling speed, as cattle driven cart makes 4 ‘Farsak’ in a day whereas a horse rider goes for 20 ‘Farsak’ but for ‘Qasr’ Allahazwj has fixed 8 Farsak (27.3 miles) as this is the distance which would mostly be covered by people on foot and riding on camels or those who would ride on donkeys and mules.92

Abdullah bin Yahiya Kahili reports from Imam Jafar-e-Sadiqasws that Salat is ‘Qasr’ at two ‘Bareed’ (27.3 miles) and also added my father (Imam Mohammed Baqirasws) used to say that this distance is not related to racing horses rather on walking speed, i.e., of camels.93

Salman bin Hafeez Maruzi narrates from Imam Musa Kazimasws that Salat is ‘Qasr’ at the distance of two ‘Bareed’ one Bareed in going away and one Bareed in returning. So the ‘Qasr’ is after 4 ‘Farsak’. Thus if one travels 4 Farsak from home and intends to return back to home then he should offer ‘Qasr’ prayers but if he travels 2 Farsak further and abandons the idea of returning back to home and decides to stay there (which is now at a distance of 6 Farsak), he needs to offer full prayers. If he however, has offered ‘Qasr’ prayers before changing his mind to stay, he needs to repeat his Salat.94

Imam Abu Abdullahasws said: If one intends to stay at a place from the time of his arrival then he should fast and offer full Salat. However, if he planned to stay there for less than 10 days then he should not fast and only offer ‘Kar’ Salat but if he ends-up extending his stay due to some uncertainly, few days at a time, he should only start fasting and offering full Salat after residing for one complete month-even though he had to leave on the next day (after 31 days).95

I asked from Imam Abu Hassanasws What should a person do if month of Ramazan falls during his travel? Shall he fast if he stays at some place for few days? Imamasws replied, no, he should not and wait until he spends ten days there before fasting and offering full Salat. I asked, how about if he fasts for the lapsed fasts after staying at a place? Imamasws replied; he should not until after spending 10 days there.96

‘I once heard abu 'Abd Allahasws being asked about Salat in the ship. The Imamasws said, 'If you can come out to hard ground, you must do so; but if you cannot do so, then perform Salat while standing, if you cannot do so, then perform Salat while sitting and try to make it toward al-Qiblah.’

Ali has narrated from his father and Mohammed ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Mohammed all from ibn abu 'Umayr from Hammad ibn 'Uthman who has said the following:

‘Abu' Abd Allahasws was asked about performing Salat in ships. The Imamasws said, 'One must face al-Qiblah and when it makes a turn, if one is able to face aI-Qiblah one must do so, otherwise, it is whichever direction it faces.' The Imamasws said, 'If one can perform in a standing position, it must be done so, otherwise, and one can sit down to perform his Salat.’

"I went to visit abu Ja'farasws. I was a young person. The Imamasws described for me recommended Salawat (prayers) and fasting and Imamasws noticed from my face that I considered it heavy. Imamasws then said to me. 'This is not like obligatory Salat, so that on neglecting, one is destroyed. It is recommended and if you cannot do on time, you can compensatory prayer for it. They disliked that their deeds are taken up one day complete and one day incomplete. Allahazwj Says, "Those who perform their Salat all the time" (71:23). They (true Muslims) disliked continuing Salat until Sun declines on midday to the west; the doors of heaven open on such time.’

‘Once, when I was present, 'Amr ibn Hurayth asked abu 'Abd Allahasws

saying, 'I pray to Allahazwj to keep my soul in service for your cause, tell me about Salat of the Messenger of Allah.

The Imamasws said, 'The Holy Prophetsaww performed eight Rak'at of Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime). He (the Messenger of Allahsaww) performed the first four, then eight thereafter, then four of al-AI- Asr. Prophetsaww performed three of al-Maghrib, four after al-Maghrib, four of

I then said, 'I pray to Allahazwj to keep my soul in service for yourasws cause, if I can do more than this, will Allahazwj punish me because of a great deal of Salat?' The Imamasws said, 'No, however, Allahazwj punishes because of omitting Sunnah.’

Mohammed ibn al-Hassan has narrated from Sahl from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following:

‘I once said to abu al-Hassanasws that our people have differences about recommended Salat. Certain ones among them say it is forty-four and others perform fifty. Please tell me about what you perform and how is it, so I can do similarly. The Imamasws said, 'I perform fifty-one Rak'at.' The Imamasws then said, 'Hold on to it.' The Imamasws counted with his hand saying, 'Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime) is eight. There are four after al-Zuhr, four before al-'Asr, two after al-Maghrib, two before al-Isha, two after al-Isha' in a sitting position which are counted as one Rak'at in a standing position. There are eight Rak'at of nightly Salat, three of al-Witr and two at dawn. Obligatory Salat is seventeen Rak'at and this becomes fifty-one Rak'at.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Harah who has said the following:

"Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'At the time you wake up, at night for prayer (Tahajjud) then say, "All praise belongs to Allahazwj who has returned my spirit so I can praise and worship Himazwj." When you hear the rooster crow, recite:

‘Heazwj is free of all defects. He is most Holy. Heazwj is the Allah of angels and the spirit. Hisazwj mercy comes before Hisazwj anger. No one, other than You (Allahazwj), deserves worship. Youazwj do not have any partner. I have done bad deeds and have done injustice to my own soul, so forgive me and grant me mercy; no one, other than Youazwj, is able to forgive sins.’

When you get-up, look to the sky and say, "O Allah, the dark night cannot curtain Youazwj, nor the sky with its constellations, nor the vast expanse of earth, nor the darkness one over the other, nor the ocean with its giant waves that curtain Your creatures from each other. Youazwj Know whatever eyes steal or the chests hide. The stars have disappeared, eyes have gone to sleep, Youazwj are the living guardian whom sleeps, and slumber cannot overtake. Free from all defects is the Cherisher of the worlds, Allah of the Messengersasws and all Praise belongs to Allahazwj, The Cherisher of the worlds." Then read five verses from Chapter Three: "The creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the da y and the night are evidence (of the existence of Allah) for people of reason (3:190). It is these who commemorate Allah while standing, sitting, or resting on their sides and who think about the creation of the heavens and the earth and say, 'Allah, you have not created all this without reason. Glory be to Youazwj. Allah, save us from the torment of the fire.' (3: 191). Our Allah, those whom Youazwj consign to the fire are certainly disgraced. There is no helper for the unjust. (3: 192)

"Allah, we have heard the person calling to the fai th and have accepted his call. Forgive our sins, expiate our bad deeds, and allow us to die with the righteous ones. (3: 193) Allah, Grant us the victory that You have promised Your Messenger and do not disgrace us on the Day of Judgment; You are the One who never ignores His pro mise." (3:194).

'Thereafter brush your teeth; and make Wuzu '. When placing your hand in water say, "(I begin) by the name of Allahazwj, and with the power of Allah. O Allah, make me of the repenting ones and of those who purify themselves."

When you complete Wuzu' say, "AIl praise belongs to Allahazwj, Cherisher of the worlds." When you stand up for Salat say, "(I begin) in the name of Allah, with (the power of) Allahazwj, to Allahazwj, from Allahazwj and with the will of Allahazwj and there is no means or power except the Power and Means of Allahazwj. O Allah, make me of the visitors of Your house and of the builders of Masjids, please open for me the door to repent before Youazwj and close to

I then asked about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, 'They would sleep very little at night'. (51: 18) . The Imamasws replied, 'There were few nights in which they would miss getting up for Salat).’

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from al-Hussain ibn Sa'id from Hammad ibn 'lsa from Mu'awiyah ibn Wahab who has said the following:

"I once said to abu' Abd Allahasws 'A man of your followers, of their virtuous ones complained before me against sleep. He said that he wants to get up for the nightly recommended Salat but sleep overcomes him until it is morning. Sometimes he performs the compensatory prayer for a whole month of missed Salat or two months and bears with its heaviness.'

The Imamasws said, 'It is the delight for his eyes, by Allahazwj.' He (the narrator) has said that the Imamasws did not give him permission to perform his nightly recommended Salat in the beginning of the night, saying, 'To compensatory prayer for them during the day is better.' I (the narrator) then said: 'Of our young girls there are those who love good and people of goodness. They try to perform Salat but sleep overcomes them, and perhaps they may perform the compensatory prayer for what is missed and perhaps face weakness in performing the compensatory prayer for what is missed, but she is able to perform in the beginning of the night. The Imamasws granted them permission to perform Salat in the beginning of the night if they feel weakness and loose performing the compensatory prayer for what is missed.’

then remembers when he is in Ruku. The Imamasws said: 'He is required to sit down from Ruku say Tashahhud, then stand up and complete (Salat).' The narrator has said that he asked, 'Have you not said that in obligatory Salat if one remembers after Ruku', one continues, then performs two Sajdah because of mistake after ending Salat in which one says Tashahhud?' The Imamasws said, 'Recommended Salat is not like obligatory one.’

He said, 'They are of a great number.' The Imamasws said: 'Perform the compensatory prayer for them.' He said, 'I cannot count them.' The Imamasws said, 'Try to perform them’. I said, 'I pray to Allah to keep youasws well, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for yourasws cause, I fell ill for four months and I could not perform any recommended Salat.'

Salat and Its Recognition-Part II 124 out of 161

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from 'Amr ibn 'Uthman from Ali ibn 'Abd Allah from' Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following:

"I once asked abu' Abd Allahasws about a man on whom there is Qaza' (compensatory prayer for) recommended Salat so much that he does not know how many because of its great number. What is he required to do?' The Imamasws said, 'He performs so many that cannot say how many is performed. In this way he has performed Qaza' (compensatory prayer for) what is missed according to his knowledge.' I then said, 'He is not able to perform all the Qaza' (compensatory prayer for) what is missed because of his business.' The Imamasws said, 'If his business is for his living which is necessary or it is for the needs of his brother in belief, then he is not obligated for anything in this matter. However, if his business is for the worldly matters which keeps him away from his Salat, then it is necessary for him to perform the Qaza' (compensatory prayer), otherwise, he will meet Allahazwj as one considered neglectful, humiliated and destroying the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allahsaww.'

I then said, 'He is not able to perform the Qaza' (compensatory prayer). Can he pay charity?' The Imamasws remained quiet for a while then said, 'Yes, he can give charity.' I then asked, 'How much charity he must pay?' The Imamasws said, 'As much as he can afford. The minimum is one handful of food to a destitute for every Salat.' I then asked, 'For how many Salat one handful of food to a destitute is sufficient?' The Imamasws said, 'It is for every two Rak'at of nightly Salat and every two Rak'at of Salat during the day.' I then said, 'He is not able to do so.' The Imamasws said, 'It is one handful for four Rak'at.' I said, 'He cannot give that much.' The Imamasws said, 'It is one handful for Salat of every night and one handful for Salat of every day but Salat is better, Salat is better.’

Anyone who has a need to ask from Allahazwj, should choose one of three hours; an hour on Fridays, an instance on midday when the wind blows, the portals of the heavens are open, the Mercy is descended, and the birds are singing, and an instance in the later part of night when Fajr time emerges. At this time, two angels are calling (on Allahazwj’s Command): Is there a repentant to be accepted? Are there needy to be awarded? Is there a seeker of forgiveness to be pardoned? Is there a deprived making a wish?

‘Abu' Abd Allahasws has said that the Messenger of Allahsaww performed Salat with his followers during the armed expedition at ‘Dhat al-Riqa’ in a fearful condition. The Messenger of Allahsaww divided his companions in two groups. One group was made to stand up facing the enemy and the other group behind him to offer Salat. Hesaww said Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) and they also did so. The Prophetsaww recited and they remained silent. Hesaww performed Ruku' and they also did so. Hesaww performed Sajdah and they also did so. The Messenger of Allahsaww in order to complete remained standing but they performed one Rak'at for themselves, then they said Salam to each other. They then went to stand guard in place of the group facing the enemy. This group stood behind the Messenger of Allah who performed one Rak'at with them, then said Tashahhud and Salam to them. They then stood up to perform the remaining one Rak'at for themselves, and then said Salam to each other.’

Imamasws replied: 'Every one of them perform Salat by making gestures to whatever direction they face, even if swords work neck and neck and the fight goes on in a hand-to-hand manner. 'Amir al-Mu'mininasws performed Salat during the night of Siffin which is called ‘Lilatu al-Harir’. Their Salat of al-Zuhr, al-'Asr, al-Maghrib and al-'lsha' were only Takbir (Allah is great beyond description), Tahlil, (no one deserves worship except Allahazwj), Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects), Tahmid (all praise belongs to Allahazwj) and supplications. It was their Salat and they were not commanded to perform Salat again.’

Ali ibn Mohammed has narrated from Mohammed ibn 'Isa from Yunus from Mu'awiyah who has said the following:

"I once asked the Imamasws about Salat of both Eid. The Imamasws said, 'It is a two Rak'at and there is not anything before or after them. Azan or 'Iqamah is not required. There are twelve Takbir (Allah is great beyond description). When Takbir is said and Salat is commenced, he then recites al-Fatihah al-Kitab, then wa al-Shams and Duha'ha' (Chapter 91), then says five Takbir. After saying Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) he performs Ruku', so he performs Ruku' after the seventh Takbir. He then performs two Sajdah, then stands up and recites al-Fatihah al-Kitab and Hal Ataka Hadith al-Ghashiyah (chapter 88), then says four Takbir, performs two Sajdah, says Tashahhud and Salam.

The Imamasws said, 'This is how the Messenger of Allahsaww did. The sermon is after Salat. 'Uthman was the one who innovated it (Sermon) before Salat. When the Imam delivers the sermon he sits down between the two sermons for a short time. It is proper for the Imam to wear burd (a certain kind of gown) on both Eid days and a shatiy turban or Qa'iz (certain kinds of fabrics). He goes out in the open so he can see the horizons of the sky. He does not perform Salat on a mat or Sajdah on it. The Messenger of Allahsaww would go to al-Baqi' and perform Salat with people.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from 'Amr ibn 'Uthman from Ali ibn 'Abd Allah who has said the following:

‘I heard abu al-Hassan Musaasws saying, 'When Ibrahim son of the Messenger of Allahsaww passed away three traditions were established. One tradition is that on that day a sun eclipse took place and people said that it is because of the death of the son of the Messenger of Allahsaww. The Messenger of Allah went on the pulpit, praised Allah and glorified Him, then said: "O people, the Sun and the Moon are two signs of the signs of Allah which move because of Hisazwj Command and in obedience to Himazwj. Their eclipse is not because of the death or life of anyone. If one or both of them eclipse perform Salat for eclipse." Hesaww climbed down the pulpit and performed Salat because of eclipse with the people.’

Ali has narrated from his father and Mohammed ibn 'lsma'il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from Hammad ibn 'Isa from Hariz from Zurarah from Mohammed ibn Muslim who has said the following:

"We once asked abu Ja'farasws about Salat because of eclipse. How many Rak'at has it and how we perform it? The Imamasws said, 'It has ten Ruku' and four Sajadat. Salat commences with Takbir, Ruku' is performed with Takbir and you raise your head with Takbir, except the fifth Takbir, after which you perform Sajdah and say Allahazwj Hears those who praise Himazwj. Say Qunut

in every two Rak'at before Ruku' and prolong Qunut and Ruku' equal to the time for recitation, Ruku' and Sajdah. If you finish before it (sun or moon) is cleared, sit down and pray before Allahazwj until it is cleared. 'If it clears before you finish Salat, complete the remaining. Make the recitation loud.' I then asked, 'How is recitation in this Salat?' The Imamasws said, 'If you recite Surah (a chapter) in every Rak'at, recite al-Fatihah al-Kitab, but if you reduce from Surah something, then recite from where you left and do not recite al-Fatihah al-Kitab.' The Imamasws said, 'It is desirable to recite al-Kahf (Chapter 18) and al-Hijr (Chapter 15), unless one is the Imam and is afraid of causing difficulties for people behind him. Your Salat should be in the open, without being covered by a house, if you can do so. Salat because of Sun eclipse should be given more time than that because of Moon eclipse, but Salat because of both is equal in Ruku' and Sajdah.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu 'Umayr from Yahya al-Halabiy from Harun ibn Kharijah from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘Abu Abd Allahasws has said that the Messenger of Allahsaww once said to Ja'far: 'O Ja'far, should I grant you and give an award to you or a gift?' Ja'far then said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allahsaww, please do so. 'The narrator has said that people thought the Messenger of Allahsaww might give him gold or silver. People remained anticipating. The Messenger of Allahsaww said: 'I give you something and if you practice every day, it will be better for you than the whole World and all that it contains. If you practice it every two days, Allahazwj Forgives you during the time in between. For your practicing it every Friday or every month or every year, Allahazwj Grants you forgiveness during the time in between.

Perform four Rak'at Salat. Begin the Salat complete the recitations and then say: ‘Allahazwj is free of defects, all praise belongs to Allah, no one, other than Allahazwj deserves to be worshiped and Allahazwj is Great fifteen times. In Ruku' position, say it ten times. After Ruku', when standing, say it ten times.

In the first sajdah say it ten times. When sitting between the two sajdah say it ten times. In the second sajdah say it ten times. After the second sajdah before standing-up for the second Rak'at say it ten times. This amounts to seventy-five Tasbihah, which makes it three hundred Tasbihah in one Rak'at and in four Rak'at Salat it becomes one thousand two hundred Tasbihah, Tahlilah, Tahmidah and Takbirah. You may perform this Salat during the day or night as you wish.'

‘It is in a Hadith from Ibrahim ibn 'Abd al-Hamid and abu al-Hassanasws has said the following. 'In the first Rak'at after the first Chapter of the Holy Quran recite Chapter 99. In the second Rak'at you should recite Chapter 100, in the third Rak'at recite Chapter 110 and in the fourth Rak'at read Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran.' I then asked, 'What is the reward for this Salat?' The Imamasws replied, 'If his sins are as many as grains of sand in a pile, Allahazwj

Ali ibn Mohammed has narrated in a marfu manner who has said the following:

"Abu' Abd Allahasws has said that on the night of the middle of the month of Sha'ban perform four Rak'at Salat. In every Rak'at read al-Fatihah and Qul Ho wallah Ho (Chapter 112) one hundred times. After completing say, 'O Allah, I have needs from You. I seek protection with Youazwj and I am afraid of Yourazwj (Wrath). I plead before Youazwj for Yourazwj Protection. O Allahazwj, do not replace my name and do not Change my body. O my Allahazwj, do not Make my trial extremely hard.

I seek your protection with Yourazwj pardon against Yourazwj punishment, I seek protection with Yourazwj Pleasure against Your Wrath, I seek protection with Yourazwj mercy against Yourazwj punishment, I seek protection with Youazwj from Youazwj. Yourazwj Praise is exalted. Youazwj are just as Youazwj have said Youazwj are and beyond what others say. ‘The narrator has said that abu 'Abd Allahasws then said this, 'On the twenty-seventh of the month of Rajab the Messenger of Allahsaww gave people this information.

It said, "One can perform a Salat, any time he wants, of twelve Rak'at. In each Rak'at he can recite al-Fatihah and another chapter from the Holy Quran. After completing and saying Salam, sits in his place, then reads al-Fatihah four times, chapters 112, 113 and 114 four times each. After completing while still in his place says four times, 'No one, other than Allahazwj, deserves worship, Allahazwj is Great, all Praise belongs to Allahazwj, Allahazwj is free of all defects and there is no means and power other than the power and means of Allahazwj.' Then says four times, 'O Allahazwj, (be a witness that) Allahazwj is my Allah. I do not consider anyone as Hisazwj partner.' Then he may ask for his wishes. His wishes will be made to come true about everything except for the destruction of a people or the destruction of good relations with relatives.’

Then perform another two Rak'at Salat. At the end of Tashhud say, 'By the Power and Means of Allahazwj, I attend this morning not by my own power and means, but by Yourazwj Power and Means, O Allahazwj, and I disassociate from all powers and means. O Allahazwj, I appeal to Youazwj for the blessings of this day and the blessings of the people of this day. I appeal before Youazwj to Grant me through Yourazwj generosity vast, fine and lawful sustenance which Youazwj will send to me by Yourazwj Means and Power so I can live affluently in good health.' Say it three times.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from abu' Abd Allah from Ziyad al-Qandiy, who from 'Abd aI-Rahim al-Qasir who has said the following:

"I visited abu 'Abd Allahasws and said, 'I pray to Allahazwj to keep my soul in service for your cause; I have invented a prayer.' Imamasws said, 'Keep your invention away from me. When you face a difficult condition, seek asylum with the Messenger of Allahsaww, perform two Rak'at Salat, as a present to the Messenger of Allahsaww.' I then asked, 'How should I do it'?' Imamasws said, 'Take a bath, perform two Rak'at Salat, begin just as you do in obligatory Salat and read the Tashud just as you do in obligatory Salat.

At the end of Tashhud and Salam recite, "O Allahazwj, Youazwj are Salam, from Youazwj comes safety, to Youazwj returns safety, Allahumma SaIli 'Ala Mohammed wa 'Ali Mohammed (O Allahazwj Grant Mohammedsaww and his familyasws a compensation worthy of their serving Yourazwj cause). Deliver my salutation to Mohammedsaww and the Spirits of truthful 'A'immahasws and may salam be upon myself from themasws as well as the Blessing of Allahazwj. O Allahazwj, these two (Rak'at Salat) are my gift to the Messenger of Allahsaww. Please Grant to me the reward that I wished and about which I placed my hopes before Youazwj and Your Messengersaww, O Guardian of the believers."

Then go into sajdah and say, "O the Living Oneazwj, the Guardian, the Living who never dies, O the Living Oneazwj, no one other than Youazwj, deserves worship, O the owner of glory, and grace, O merciful above all merciful ones"-forty times.

Then place the right side of your face on the ground and say the above forty times. Then place the left side of your face on the ground and say the same forty times. Raise thereafter your head, stretch your hands and say the above forty times. Then hold your beard with your left hand, weep or make a weeping face and say, "O Mohammed, the Messenger of Allahsaww, I complain before Allahazwj and before yousaww about my needs as well as

before your AhlalBayt (members of your family), the right guides about my needs, through you I turn to Allahazwj about my needs."

Then make sajdah and say, "O Allahazwj, O Allahazwj," for a full breath, Allahumma Salli Ala Mohammed wa 'Ali Mohammed (O Allahazwj Grant Mohammedsaww and his familyasws a compensation worthy of their serving Yourazwj cause).' Please grant my wishes and needs.’

‘Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said, 'I guarantee from Allahazwj that Heazwj will not leave your needs and wishes without being met and fulfilled.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from certain individuals of our people in a marfu' manner who has said the following:

‘Abu' Abd Allahasws has said that if a man is sad and depressed about something or because of an unfulfilled wish, he should perform two Rak'at Salat. In one he should recite Qul Ho Walllah Ho (Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran) one thousand times and in the second Rak'at once, then ask for his wish.’

"Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said to assign a place in your home as Masjid. If something frightens you, dress in two pieces of your roughest clothes and perform Salat with them. Thereafter rise on your knees and call for help, cry out before Allahazwj, ask Himazwj for paradise, beg Himazwj for protection against whatever has frightened you. Beware of having Allahazwj to hear from you rebellious words (about yourself) even though you may feel very proud of yourself or your tribe.’

‘Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said that the Messenger of Allahsaww has said: ‘A servant (of Allahazwj) is not able to leave a successor among his people in his absence better than two Rak'at Salat. It is a Salat that he performs when leaving for a journey. He should say, "O Allahazwj, I leave myself, my family, my properties, my religion, and my worldly affairs, the affairs of my next life, my trust and the consequences of my deeds in Yourazwj trust." Heazwj Grants him what he has asked.’

‘Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said that when Allahazwj Grants you a bounty, you should perform two Rak'at Salat. In the first Rak'at recite al-Fatihah al-Kitab and Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran. In the second Rak'at recite al-Fatihah al-Kitab and Chapter 109 of the Holy Quran. In Ruku' and Sajdah of the first Rak'at say, 'All praise belongs to Allahazwj, with thanks, a great deal of thanks and praise.' In Ruku and Sajdah of the second Rak'at, say, 'All praise belongs to Allahazwj who Answers my prayers and Grants my wishes.’

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from abu Basir who has said the following:

"I heard a man saying to abu Ja'farasws 'I pray to Allahazwj to keep my soul in service for your cause, I am an aged man. I have married a young girl. I have not gone near her yet. I am afraid when I go near her she is going to find out of my old age and that I dye on my beard she may dislike me.' Abu Ja'farasws said, 'When you are there, ask her before approaching you to take Wuzu'. You also, should not approach her before taking Wuzu' and performing two Rak'at Salat. Thereafter, speak of glory of Allahazwj and say, ‘Allahumma Salli 'Ala Mohammed wa 'Ali Mohammed’ (O Allahazwj Grant Mohammedsaww and his familyasws compensation worthy of their serving Yourazwj cause). Thereafter ask her and others present with her to say A'min (O Allahazwj Grant his wishes). Thereafter say, "O Allahazwj, provide her enough reasons to be kind

to me, love me and be happy with me and grant me enough reason to be happy with her, bring us together in the best form of gathering, and the happiest kindness; You love lawfulness and dislike unlawfulness.’ The Imamasws then said, 'You must bear in mind that kindness comes from Allahazwj and hate comes from Satan so that people dislike what Allahazwj has made lawful.’

Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from al-Qasim ibn Yahya from his grandfather, aI-Hassan ibn Rashid from abu Basir who has said the following:

"Abu' Abd Allahasws once said to me, 'When anyone of you likes to get married, what does he need to do?' I replied, 'I do not know.' The Imamasws then said, 'When one of you has such intention, he should first perform two Rak'at Salat and praise Allah. Thereafter, say, "O Allahazwj, I like to get married. Determine for me of women the most protective of her privacy, the most chaste in conjugal matters, protective of myself and my property and of a vast share of sustenance, of the greatest in blessing, and determine for me a fine son who will succeed me as a virtuous one in my lifetime and when I die.’

‘Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'If one wants that his wife become pregnant, he should perform two Rak'at Salat after Friday Salat. In this Salat he should prolong his Ruku' and sajdah and then say, "O Allahazwj, I ask Youazwj just what Zakariahas asked Youazwj for, O my Allahazwj, (rabbi) do not leave me lonely (childless) while You are the best (provider of) heir. O Allahazwj, Grant me virtuous offspring. Youazwj hear (all prayers and appeals). O Allahazwj through Yourazwj name she has become lawful for me and as Yourazwj trust, I have taken her as my wife. If Youazwj will decree a child in her womb, please make the child to be a righteous (honourable one, an intelligent) son and do not allow Satan to have a part or share in him.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, who from ibn abu 'Umayr from ibn Udhaynah who has said the following:

Abu 'Abd Allahasws asked me, 'What does the enemy narrate?' I then asked, 'I pray to Allahazwj to keep my soul in service for yourasws cause, what kind of narration do you mean?' He said, 'It is about their Azan, Ruku and sajdah?'

I then said, they say: ‘Ubay ibn Ka'b has seen them in a dream.’ The Imamasws said, 'They have spoken a lie. The religion of Allahazwj is by far more exalted than being seen in a dream.

The narrator has said that Sadir al-Sayrafiy then said, 'I pray to Allahazwj to keep my soul in service for yourasws cause, please enlighten us about it.' Abu' Abd Allahasws then said, 'When Allahazwj took His Prophetsaww for a journey to His seven heavens; in the first heaven Heazwj granted himsaww blessing and in the second one Heazwj taught himsaww his obligations. Allahazwj sent down a carriage that was made of light with forty types of various kinds of light therein, surrounded by the Throne of Allahazwj that covers the eyesight of the on-lookers. One of those lights is yellow from which lowness is yellow. Another one is red because of which redness is red, yet another one is white because of which whiteness is white. The rest of them are like the number of the creatures in form of light and colours.

In that carriage, there are rings and lines of silver. Thereafter Heazwj took him up in the heaven. The angels moved in all directions of the heaven and fell down in prostration saying, ‘He is free of all defects and Most Holy. How similar is this light to the light of our Allah!’ Jibril then said, 'Allah is Greater than can be described, AIlahazwj is Greater than can be described.' Then the doors of the Heaven opened, the angels gathered and saluted to the Holy

Prophetsaww in large groups saying, "O Mohammed, how is your brother? When you go back to earth tell that we salute himasws." The HoIy Prophetsaww asked them, "Do you know himasws?" They replied, how can we forget himasws? We were made (by Allahazwj) to establish covenant and commitment to (follow and) support him; support you and his followers until the Day of Judgment.

We look the faces of hisasws followers five times every day - meaning thereby during the five times Salat. We say, Allahumma Salli 'Ala Mohammed wa 'Ali Mohammed (O Allahazwj Grant Mohammed and his family compensation worthy of their serving Yourazwj cause).’ The Messenger of Allahsaww thereafter has said, "Then my Allahazwj granted me forty kinds of kinds of light of which no one resembled the ones given to me before. Heazwj Gave more rings and chains and took me to the second heaven.

When I arrived near the second heaven's door, the angels moved to all directions of the heaven and fell down in prostration saying, 'Free of all defects and Most Holy is the Allahazwj of the angels and the spirit. How similar is this light to the light of our Allahazwj!' Jibrilas then said, 'I testify that no one, other than Allahazwj, deserves to be worshipped.' The angelsas then gathered asking, 'O Jibrilas, who is this with you?' Heas replied, 'This is Mohammedsaww.'

They then asked: 'Is he already commissioned to serve as the Messenger of Allahsaww?' Heas replied, 'Yes, hesaww is commissioned.'" The Holy Prophetsaww has said that they then came to me: Welcoming with Salutations and saying, "Tell your brother we salute himasws.’ Isaww asked them, "Do you know him?" They replied, "How can we forget him? We were made (by Allahazwj) to establish a covenant and commitment to (follow and) support himasws; support yousaww and his followers until the Day of Judgment. We look on the faces of hisasws followers five times every day" - meaning thereby during the five times Salat.

‘The Messenger of Allahsaww has said, "My Allah then gave me another forty kinds of the kinds of light of which no one was similar to the light given to me before, and increased the number of rings and chains. Then Heazwj took me up to the second heaven. The angels moved to all directions in the heaven and fell down in prostration saying, 'Free of all defects and Most Holy is the Allahazwj of the angels and the spirit. What is this light that is so similar to the light of our Allahazwj?' Jibril then said twice, 'I testify that only Allah deserves worship. The angels gathered and said, 'O Jibril, who is hesaww with you?' Heas (Jibril) replied, 'He is Mohammedsaww.' They asked, 'Is he commissioned (as messenger of Allahsaww)?' Jibrilas answered, 'Yes, he is commissioned.'" The Holy Prophetsaww has said, "They (angelsas) came to me as if wanting to hold me in their arms and saluted me and said, 'Convey our salutations to you brotherasws.' I asked, 'Do you know himasws?' Theyas replied, 'Why we would not know himasws? We are made to establish a solemn covenant of support in yoursaww favour, in hisasws favour and in favour of hisasws followers until the Day of Judgment. We look at the faces of hisasws followers five times every day and night.' They meant thereby the times of each of five daily Salat.’

The Messenger of Allahsaww has said, "My Allahazwj then gave me another forty different kinds of light of which no one was similar to the lights given to mesaww before. Then Heazwj took me up to the third Heaven. The angels moved to all directions in the Heaven and fell down in prostration saying, 'Free of all defects and Most Holy is the Allahazwj of the angels and the spirit. What is this light that is so similar to the light of our Allahazwj?' Jiblilas then said twice, 'I testify that Mohammedsaww is the Messenger of Allahazwj.'

The angelsas all gathered and said, 'Welcome, we greet yousaww, O the first. Welcome, O the last, welcome, O the one who brings about resurrection and welcome the one who brings about distribution (distributor of Heavens and hell (one of the title of Imam Ali), Mohammed is the best of the Prophetssaww and Aliasws is the best of the executors of the wills of the Prophets of Allahas.’

"The Holy Prophetsaww has said, "They then saluted me and asked about my brotherasws and I said, 'Heasws is on earth. Do you know himasws?' They replied, 'How can we forget him? We every year perform Hajj of Bayt al-Ma'mur where there is a white board on which there are the names of Mohammedsaww, Aliasws, aI-Hassanasws, al-Hussainasws, all A'immah and their followers until the Day of Judgment. We congratulate them every day and night five times' - meaning thereby the five times Salat - 'and they wipe their heads with their hands.’

The Holy Prophetsaww has said, "My Allah then increased the number of the different types of lights for me by another forty kinds of light of which no one resembled the ones given to me before. Heazwj then took me higher until Isaww reached the fourth heaven where the angels did not say anything. I heard a low intensity sound as if vibrating inside the chests. The angels then gathered, the doors of the heaven opened and they came to welcome mesaww. Jibril then said, 'Come for Salat, come for Salat. Come to wellbeing, come to wellbeing.' The angels then said, 'They are two very familiar sounds.' Jibril then said, 'Salat is about to be performed, Salat is about to be performed.' The angels said, 'It is for hissaww followers until the Day of Judgment.' The angels then gathered and asked where is your brotherasws'?' Isaww replied, 'Do you know himasws'?' They replied, 'We know himasws and hisasws followers. There are lights around Throne of Allah and in al-Bayt al-Ma'mur, there is a board light [on which there is a writing of light] and in this writing there are the names of Mohammedsaww, Aliasws, aI-Hassanasws, al-Hussainasws, A'immahasws and their followers until the Day of Judgment from whom not even one man is increased or decreased.

This (written document) is our covenant and a document of commitment which is read to us every Friday.' Thereafter it was said to me; raise your head, O Mohammedsaww.' Isaww raised my head, Isaww saw the levels of the heaven opened up, and the curtains rose. Isaww then was told, 'Look downward.' Isaww looked downward and Isaww saw a house like your house, this one, and a sacred precinct like this holy precinct. If Isaww were to drop something down from my hand, it would only fall on this house but not on another place. It then was said me, 'O Mohammed, this is the holy place and you are the Holy person; for every similitude there is something similar.'

Allahazwj then sent Wahy (Inspiration) to me, 'O Mohammed go near the S'ad (a fountain at the foot of the Throne) wash the parts of your body that are used during sajdah, cleanse them and perform Salat) for the sake of your Allah.’

The Messenger of Allahsaww then went near the S'ad, the water that flows at the right foot of the Throne. The Messenger of Allahsaww touched the water with his right hand and for this reason Wuzu' is with the right hand.

Allahazwj then sent ‘Wahy’ to himsaww, "Wash your face; you look to Myazwj Greatness, then wash your right arm and then your left arm; you receive my words (book) in your hand. Thereafter wipe yoursaww head with your hand while still moist with the water of Wuzu' and yoursaww feet up to your ankles; Iazwj like to bless you and allow you to step where no one, other than you, has ever stepped.’ This is the reason for 'Adan and Wuzu.’

Then Allahazwj Sent ‘Wahy’ to himsaww, ‘O Mohammed, face the direction of the black-stone and speak of Myazwj Greatness an equal number of times as the number of My Curtains.’ For this reason, the number of Tukbir is seven, equal to the number of seven curtains. At the end of the Tukbir, hesaww commenced Salat for this reason; commencement became a Sunnah (a noble tradition). The curtains are of parallel levels and in between every two level, there are oceans of light. This is the light, which AlIahazwj sent to Mohammedsaww, O Allahazwj Grant compensation to Mohammed and his family worthy of their services to your cause.

For this reason, the number of (Takbir for) commencement is three because of the opening of the curtains three times. The number of Takbir, (altogether before commencement), are seven and the number of commencement three times.

When hesaww completed all Takbir and (takbir of) commencement, Allahazwj sent him ‘Wahy’ to call Himazwj by Hisazwj name ‘Bismillah…’ and for this reason, the phrase the name of Allah, the Beneficent, and the Merciful" is placed before every Chapter of the Holy Quran.

Then Allahazwj sent himsaww ‘Wahy’ to praise Himazwj. When hesaww said, "All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds," the Holy Prophetsaww to himself said, "My thanks (to Allah)." Allahazwj Sent himsaww ‘Wahy’ saying, "You just discontinued my praise. Call Me by My name." For this reason the phrase ‘Alhamdu lil hay’ most Beneficent’ the most Merciful has come twice in al-Hamd. When the Holy Prophet reached the last word in al-Hamd hesaww said, "All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds all thanks.

Allahazwj then sent himsaww ‘Wahy’, "You discontinued speaking of Me. Call Me by My name." For this reason, at the beginning of every Chapter there is the phrase, ‘Bismillah Irrahman….-In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, and the Merciful." Thereafter Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, sent himsaww ‘Wahy’, "O Mohammed, read about the relationship of your Allah, the most Holy, and the most High.”(I begin) in the Name of Allah, the Beneficent,

the Merciful (112:1) (O Mohammed,) you must say, "H e is Allah, Who is one only (112:2). Allah is Absolute (112:3). He doe s not have any child nor is He a child of others (112:4). There is no on e equal to Him. (112:5)."

Then the ‘Wahy’ was held back from himsaww and the Messenger of Allahsaww said, "One the only one who is self-sufficient." Allah then sent him ‘Wahy’, "He does not have any child nor is He a child of ot hers (112:4). There is no one equal to Him. (112:5)." Then Wahy was held back from him and the Messenger of Allahsaww said, "Thus is Allah. Thus is Allah, our Lord." When he said this Allah sent him ‘Wahy’, "Kneel down for Ruku' for the sake of your Allah, O Mohammed." Hesaww knelt down for Ruku'. Allahazwj then sent Wahy, while he was in Ruku' position, to say, "My Allah, the Great, is free of all defects." Hesaww said this three times, Then Allahazwj sent him Wahy, "Raise your head, O Mohammed." The Messenger of Allahsaww did as he was told to do and stood up straight. Allahazwj sent Wahy, "Bow down in prostration for the sake of your Allahazwj, O Mohammed." The Messenger of Allahsaww bowed down in prostration, and then Allahazwj sent Wahy, say, "My Allahazwj is free of all defects." Hesaww said it three times. Then Allahazwj sent Wahy, "Sit upright, O Mohammedsaww." Hesaww did as hesaww was told. When hesaww sat upright hesaww looked at (signs of) His Greatness that appeared to himsaww, then, on his own he bowed down in prostration without anyone's command. Hesaww said three times, "Allah is free of all defects." Allah then sent ‘Wahy’ that said, "Stand up straight." Hesaww obeyed but he did not see (of the signs) of Greatness that had seen before and for this reason in Salat every Rak'at has one Ruku' and two sajdah.

Allahazwj, then sent Wahy, "Read All praise belong to Allah, Cherisher of the worlds" (the first Chapter of the Holy Quran) and hesaww read as hesaww had done before. Allahazwj then sent Wahy, "Read Chapter 97 of the Holy Quran; this Chapter speaks, of your relationship and the relationship of your family, until the Day of Judgment." In Ruku' he did just as he had done before, then hesaww did one sajdah. When hesaww raised his head (signs of) Greatness appeared to himsaww, hesaww then bowed down in prostration by hissaww own choice, without anyone's command and again he said, "Allah is free of all defects.

Allahazwj sent Wahy: ‘Raise your head, O Mohammed, your Allah has made you steadfast.’ When hesaww wanted to stand up, he was told, "Sit down in your place, O Mohammed." He then sat down. Allahazwj sent Wahy, "O Mohammedsaww, when Iazwj Grant yousaww a favour, you should call me by My name.’ Hesaww was inspired to say, "In the name of Allah, with (the help of) Allah, no one, other than Allah, deserves to be worshipped, and all beautiful names belong to Allah." Then Allahazwj sent Wahy, "O Mohammed, ask compensation for yourself and say, 'Allahllmma Salli 'Ala Mohammed wa Ali Mohammed (O Allah Grant Mohammed and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Yourazwj cause)’ which hesaww did as hesaww was told. Hesaww then noticed rows of angels and messenger and Prophets of Allahas and it was said to him, "O Mohammed, say Salam to them." Hesaww then said, "I pray to Allah to Grant you peace, mercy blessings." Allahazwj then sent

Salat and Its Recognition-Part II 146 out of 161

Wahy "You and your descents are the peace, salutations, mercy and blessing." Allahazwj then Wahy "Do not pay any attention to the left." The first verse hesaww heard after Chapter 112 and 97 of the Holy Quran was the verse about the people of the right hand and people of the left hand. For this reason one salutation is toward the direction of Qiblah and for this reason there is Shukr (expression of thanks) in sajdah for Takbir and his saying, ‘Allah listens to all those who praise Him" because the Holy Prophet heard a great deal of voices of angels saying al-Tasbih, al-Tahmid and al-Tahlil. For this reason he said, "Allah listens to all of those who praise Him." For this reason, in the first and second Rak'at if something invalidating Wuzu' takes place, one needs to perform them all over again. This is the first obligation in the prayer at noontime, that is, Salat at noontime.’

Ali ibn Mohammed has narrated from certain individuals of our people from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Rabi' ibn Mohammed al-Musliy from 'Abd Allah ibn Sulayal-'Amiriy who has said the following:

‘Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'When the Messenger AlIahsaww was taken up (to heavens) he was commanded to perform Salat and hesaww returned with ten Rak'at Salat for every day. Each Salat consisted of two Rak'at. When al-Hassanasws and al-Hussainasws came to this World, the Messenger of Allahsaww increased seven more Rakat in thanksgiving to Allahazwj and Allahazwj Granted himsaww permission to do so. He did not increase anything to the Morning Salat due to the short duration of its time in which time the angels of the night and day, also attend it. When Allahazwj commanded himsaww to shorten Salat while on a journey, he decreased six Rak'at and did not decrease anything from Maghrib (soon after Sunset) Salat. The rules of how to deal with mistakes in Salat apply to the Rak'at that was increased by the Messenger of Allahsaww. Thus, if one faces doubts during the first and second Rak'at, he has to re-do his Salat from the beginning.’

Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Mohammed ibn Ahmad from al- Sayyariy from al-Fadl ibn abu Qurrah in a in a marfu' manner who has said the following:

‘Abu 'Abd Allahasws was asked about fifty-one Rak'at Salat daily. Heasws replied, 'There are twelve hours in the day and twelve in the night. There is one hour between dawn and Sunrise. From Sunset to disappearing of western brightness is darkness. For every hour there are two Rak'at and one Rak'at for darkness.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from 'Amr ibn 'Uthman from Mummad ibn 'Adhafir from abu Hamzah or from Mohammed ibn Muslim who said the following:

'In Kufa there are condemned Masjids and blessed Masjids. One of the blessed Masjids is the Masjid of Ghany. By Allahazwj direction of Qiblah thereof is balanced and just and its soil is blessed. A believing man established it and before the end of the World, two fountains will gush forth from there with two gardens nearby. However, the people around it are condemned and the Masjid is taken away from them. Banu Zafar's, al-Sahlah Masjid, is another such Masjid. Another Masjid is in al-Khumrah and yet another one is AI-Ju'fiy Masjid and today it does not exit, as he has been destroyed.’

Other condemned Masjids are Saqif, al-Ash'ath and Jarir Masjid. There is also Sammak Masjid in al-Khumrah which is built on the grave of a pharaoh of the pharaohs.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali Ibn 'Abd Allah from 'Ubays Ibn Hisham from Salim who has said the following:

"Abu Ja'farasws has said, 'Four Masjids were rebuilt in Kufa to express happiness for the killing of al-Hussainasws: AI-Ash'ath and Jarir Masjids, Sammak and Shabath ibn Rib'iy's Masjids.’

Mohammed ibn aI-Hassan and All ibn Mohammed have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from 'Amr ibn 'Uthman from Mohammed ibn 'Abd Allah al-Khazzaz from Hamn ibn Kharijah who has said the following:

"Once abu' Abd Allahasws asked me, 'O Harun ibn Kharijah, how far away do you live from the Masjid of Kufah'? Is it one mile'?' I replied, 'No, it is less than a mile.' Heasws then asked, 'Do you perform all Salat there?' I replied, 'No, I do not perform all Salat there.' Heasws then said, 'If I were nearby I hope I would not miss performing any Salat therein. Do you know what the virtues of Salat performed therein are? There is no believer of good deeds or Prophetas who has not performed Salat in the Masjid of Kufa. Even when the Messenger of Allahsaww was on his night journey, Jibrilas asked himsaww, "Do you know where your are, O Messenger of Allahsaww? At this hour you are across the Masjid of Kufah." Hesaww said, "Ask my Allah for permission so I can go there and perform two Rak'at Salat therein.’ Heas asked Allahazwj, for permission, which was granted.

On the right side of this Masjid, there is a garden of the gardens of Paradise, in the middle of it, there is a garden of the gardens of Paradise and behind it, and there is a garden of the gardens of Paradise. Performing one obligatory Salat in it is equal to one thousand Salat. One recommended Salat in it is equal to five hundred Salat. Sitting in it without performing any Salat or speaking of Allahazwj is worshipping. Had people known its excellence they would go to it even crawling.' Sahl has said that narrators other than Masomeensaww have said that performing obligatory Salat in it is equal to performing Hajj and performing recommended Salat is equal to 'Umrah.’

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Yusuf Ya'qub ibn 'Abd Allah from the sons of abu Fatimah from Isma'il ibn Zayd, Mawla 'Abd Allah ibn al-Kahiliy who has said the following:

"Once, a man came to 'Amir al-Mu'mininsaww, when he was in the Masjid of Kufah. He said, 'You are an Alayhi al-Salam, Hisazwj Mercy and blessing, O 'Amir al-Mu'mininasws.' 'Amir al-Mu'minin responded to his salutation. The man then said, 'I pray to Allahazwj keep my soul in service for your cause, I want to visit al-Aqsa Masjid so I have come to say farewell to you.' The Imamasws asked: 'What do you think you will receive from your visit?' He replied, 'I pray to Allahazwj to keep my soul in service for yourasws cause, I expect to receive excellence.' The Imamasws then said, 'Sell your horse, use your supplies and perform Salat in this Masjid; performing one obligatory Salat in it is equal to one accepted Hajj. Performing one recommended Salat in it is equal to performing one accepted 'Umrah. The goodness from there reaches up to twelve miles. Its right side houses goodness but its left side lodges wickedness. At its centre, there is a fountain in of oil, a fountain of milk, a fountain of water for believers to drink and a fountain of purifying water for believing people. From there the Ark of Noah set sail. Also, (unfortunately) Nasr, Yaghuth and Ya'uq were placed there. Seventy Prophetsas and seventy successors of Prophetsas, of whom one is myself (he pointed to his own chest), performed Salat there. Every person, suffering from hardship, appealed for his wish to come true and has found Allahazwj make his wishes come true and removed his hardships.’

Mohammad ibn Yahya has narrated from certain individuals of our people from Hassan ibn Ali from ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who have said the following:

"I heard abu' Abd Allahasws saying, 'The Masjid of Kufah is a very blessed Masjid. One thousand Prophetsas and one thousand executors of the wills of the Prophetsas have performed Salat in it. The oven (of Noah) was there where from water gushed forth and the Ark was carved there-from. Its right side houses the matters of the pleasure of Allahazwj, its centre houses a garden of the gardens of Paradise and its left side lodges evil planners.' I (the narrator) asked abu Basir, 'What is meant by evil-planning?' He replied, 'It is a reference to the houses of the sultans (kings). 'Amir al-Mu'minin, would stand at the door of the Masjid then throw an arrow, which would reach the places of the sellers of dates and then say, "That is part of the Masjid." Heasws would also say, "What is reduced from the basis of the Masjid is like what is reduced from its square.’

It is the fifth from the wall.' He (narrator) has said, 'During the rule of abu al-'Abbas, abu 'Abd Allahasws, entered through fifth door, bore to the left on entering the door and performed Salat near the fourth pillar which is opposite to the fifth pillar.' I then asked, 'Is this the pillar of Ibrahimas?' Heasws replied, 'Yes, it is.’

Abu' Abd Allahasws, then asked, 'Did he do so?' He (the man) replied, something came up that prevented him from visiting al-Sahlah Masjid.' The Imamasws then said, 'By Allahazwj, had he sought refuge with Allahazwj therein for a year he would

have given him such refuge. You should take notice that it is the house of prophet Idris. Therein he did his sewing works. From this place Ibrahimas started his journey to Yemen, where aI-'Amaliqah people has settled down.

Dawudas began his move against Jalut (Goliath) from this place. In it, there is the green stone on which every Prophet's picture exists. From under this stone the clay of every Prophet was taken and it is the place where the rider disembarks for rest.' It was asked, 'Who is the rider?' The Imamasws replied, He is al-Khadir.’

Abu 'Abd Allahasws has said that in al-Kufah there is a Masjid called al-Sahlah Masjid. 'Had my uncle, Zayd, visited it to perform Salat and asked Allahazwj to Grant him refuge, Heazwj would have granted him refuge for twenty years.

In it is the place where the rider disembarks for rest and the house of Prophet Idrisas. There has never been anyone suffering hardships who visited this, performed two Rak'at Salat between the two Salat after Sunset and appealed to Allahazwj for help whose wishes Allah did not make to come true and remove his hardships.’

It is narrated that the limits of al-Sahlah Masjid extend up to al-Rawha.’

Imam Jafar-e-Sadiqasws said: On Nouroz day take a bath and wear your cleanest garments and apply the best perfume. Observe fast, after praying Zoher and Asar and Nawafeel.

And in the fourth the Al-Hamd followed by reciting 10 times both ‘Al-Mu`azateen’99 and after your completion of the rak'ah. You make your wishes in the prostration of thanksgiving ‘Sajjadah-e-Sukr’, upon doing so your fifty years sins will be forgiven.100

Salat and Aamaal on Eid-e-Ghadeer The Day of Eid-e-Ghadeer is the day when Islam was completed with the Walayat of Amir-ul-Mommaneenasws, ahadith on celebrations of Eid-e-Ghadeer are presented elsewhere (http://hubeali.com/articles/Eid-e-Ghadeer-09.pdf), for the of brevity of this article, only instructions of Masomeenasws related to Salat are given below: Hussain Bin Hassan has narrated from Mohammed Bin Musa Al-Hamadani who narrated from Ali Bin Al-Wasati who narrated from Ali Bin Al-Hussain Al-Abdi who has said that I heard from Abu Abdullahasws saying that fasting on the day of Gadheer-e-Khum is equal to fasting for the whole life. In return Allahazwj will grant the reward of one hundred Hajj and one hundred Umra. This is the greatest EID. Who prayed two Rakat after taking bath before half hour of Zohar prayer; Allahazwj will grant the reward of one hundred thousand Hajj, one hundred thousand Umra and fulfill all the wishes of this world and the world hereafter. Giving One dirham in charity on this day is equal to one thousand dirham. In every Rakat recite Sura-e-AL-HAMD (Once) Sura-e-TAUHEED (Ten Times) AYTAL –KURSI, (Ten Times) 99 ‘Qul Auzo bil Rabay Nace and Qul Auzo bil Falaq’ 100 Wasail-U-Shia Vol-8,Page-172

I was with Amir-ul-moumaneenasws when my molaasws saw a man praying, and asked him, do you understand the interpretation of your prayers? He replied, O my master! Is the interpretation of prayers not included in the acts of worship? Amir-ul-momineenasws then said Allahazwj sent down Prophet Mohammedsaww as well as other Prophets (in the past) in order to explain the true essence and interpretation, reasons behind Divine revelations and the way to proclaim each act of worship. He then said; please teach me O my master; what is the interpretation of Salat? Amir-ul-momineenasws replied, your exclaiming of ‘Allah ho Akbar’ in ‘Taqbeer-tul-Ahram’102, it means Allah is Greatest, beyond our comprehension, in the second Takbeer (Allah ho Akbar) we admit His greatness and also it cannot be described by the means of signs (i.e., by hands). We (recite it) third time to admit Heazwj is beyond our perception to give Himazwj Profile or create Hisazwj Image. In the fourth one we admit He has been before the start of the time and can never be influenced by any deterioration or decay. In the fifth Takbeer we admit Hisazwj essence is unrecognisable and Heazwj is everywhere without being part of something or something being dwelled into Himazwj. In the sixth one we recognise His attributes neither subject to variations nor evolution with the passage of time. In the seventh one we admit our failure in His recognition through our six senses. Extend your neck when you bow down (Rukku) and offer your head to be chopped down for Hisazwj cause. Upon lifting our head and standing up we recite ‘Samay…..’103 and thank Allah who brought us into Life out of non-existence. And upon performing the first prostration, we offer our prostration to Youazwj and acknowledge Heazwj has created us out of dust and thank Himazwj (when raising our head after prostration) that Heazwj has extracted us out of earth. Upon performing the second prostration we admit we will die and 102 The first Allah ho Akbar when you start Salat. The first with Niat of Salat , there are seven Allah ho Akbar in two Rakat. 103 Thank Allah who listens to all and is praise worthy.

become part of dust and upon raising our heads (after prostration) we recognise Heazwj will resurrect us. And when you sit on your left hand side while your right foot crosses the sole of your left foot, we symbolically indicate that we have established the righteous path and have annihilated the falsehood. In the ‘Taushud’ we renew our ‘Eman’ and the resumption of Islam and approval of death and resurrection after death. In the ‘Aihata....’ we praise Allahazwj, and ask for Hisazwj forgiven and protection against the cruel oppressors and their deadly traps and the interpretation of ‘Salama…’ is to pray, may Allahazwj protect us from the torture of the Doom’ day and bless us

with peace.

Amir-ul-momineenasws, finally said, if you do not know the interpretation of your prayers then your prayers are infirm and incomplete.104

Salim Bin Qais Al-Helali narrates a tradition in his book: One man came to Amir-ul-momineenasws and asked: What is the essence of belief (Eman)? Imamasws replied: A momin will have Eman if he recognises Allahazwj and Prophetsaww and Imamasws and then commits to their submission.

Appendix III: Summary of Mistakes as Compiled by al -Kulaynira

"All the cases of mistakes are seventeen in number. In seven of them it is necessary to perform Salat again. (1) One case is when one forgets the opening Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) which one does not remember until Ruku' (bowing down on one's knees) (2) The second case is when one forgets Ruku' (bowing down on one's knees) and Sujud (prostrations). (3) The third case is when one forgets and does not know if he has performed one or two Rak'at. (4) The fourth case is when one forgets something in al-Maghrib and in the morning Salat. (5) It is when one increases something in his Salat. (6) It is when one does not know if he has increased or decreased and his guess does not settle anywhere. (7) It is when one moves away from Salat before completing.

"There are those conditions in which performing Salat again is not necessary. Only two Sajdah because of mistake is necessary. Of such cases is: (1) when one says Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace) in two Rak'at then speaks before moving away his face from al-Qiblah (al-Ka'bah). He completes his Salat, and then performs two Sajdah because of mistake. (2) One who forgets Tashahhud and does not sit down in two Rak'at and it is missed until Ruku' (bowing down on one's knees) in the third Rak'at. He

performs two Sajdah because of mistake and makes up for Tashahhud, which is missed. (3) One who does not know if he has performed four or five has to perform two Sajdah because of mistake. (4) One who by mistake speaks in his Salat improperly, like commanding or prohibiting because of forgetfulness and not in a wilful manner. He performs two Sajdah. Sajdah is necessary in these four cases. Of such cases are where performing Salat again is not necessary as well as Sajdah because of mistake. (1) One is he who corrects his mistake before it is late like one who is to stand up but instead sits down or is to sit down but stands up then remembers it before entering in another condition, in such case he is to perform Qaza' (perform a compensatory) for it. (2) Another is he who says Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace) in the first two Rak'at then remembers. He completes before he speaks in which case the rules for mistake is not applicable to his case. (3) The rule for mistake does apply to the case of one behind an Imam who remembers and (4) as well as to the case of an Imam if people behind him remember. (5) The rule for mistake does not apply to mistake in a mistake. (6) The rule for mistake does not apply to a mistake in recommended Salat and the rule for mistake does not apply to a repeat in recommended Salat. These are six cases where repeat is not necessary as well as two Sajdah because of mistake.

"One who doubts about the opening Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) and does not know if he has said it or not, he is to say it when he remembers before Ruku', then does the recitation then Ruku. If one doubts in Ruku' and does not know if he has said the opening Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) or not he, continues his Salat and he is not obligated for anything in this matter. If he becomes certain of not saying the opening Takbir (Allah is great beyond description), he performs his Salat again. If one doubts when he is standing and he does not know if he has performed Ruku or not, he performs Ruku to ascertain his performing Ruku. If one performs Ruku', then remembers that he has already performed Ruku " he sends down himself to Sajdah without raising his head from Ruku' in Ruku. If he continues and raises his head from Ruku', then remembers that he has already performed Ruku', he performs his Salat again; he has increased in his Salat one Rak'at. One who performs Sajdah and because of doubt does not know if one has performed Ruku' or not, one continues his Salat and he is not obligated for anything in this matter, because of his doubt unless one becomes certain that one has not performed Ruku. In this case one performs his Salat again. If one performs Sajdah and does not know if one has performed one or two Sajdah, one is to perform another Sajdah to ascertain performing two Sajdah.

If one performs Sajdah and remembers that he has already performed two Sajdah, he has to perform his Salat again, because of increase in his Salat by one Sajdah. If one still has doubts after standing and does not know if one has performed one or two Sajdah one is to continue his Salat and he is not obligated for anything in this matter. If one is certain that one has performed only one Sajdah, one is to perform another Sajdah and he is not obliged for anything in this matter.

Mistakes in Tashahhud (testimonies of belief)

"If one by mistake stands up before Tashahhud (testimonies of belief) in two Rak'at, he is to sit down and say Tashahhud, if he has not reached in Ruku' (bowing down on one's knees), then stand up and continues his Salat and he is not obligated for anything in this matter. If one has assumed Ruku' and learns that one has not said Tashahhud, continues one's Salat and when one ends his Salat performs two Sajdah because of mistake and he is not obligated for anything in the condition of doubt as long one is not certain."

Mistakes about Two or Four Rak'at

"One who doubts and does not know if one has performed two or four Rak’at, if one's guess settles on four, one says Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace) and he is not obligated for anything in this matter. If one's guess settles on one's performing two Rak’at, one performs two more Rak’at and he is not obligated for anything in this matter if one's guess is equal, one says Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace), then performs two Rak'at in a standing position with al-Fatihah al-Kitab. If, in fact, one has performed two Rak'at these two Rak'at complete the four and if, in fact, one has performed four Rak'at these two become recommended Salat.

Mistake about Two or Three Rak'at

"One who doubts and does not know if one has performed two or three Rak'at and his guess settles on the side of two Rak'at, one is to perform two more Rak'at and he is not obligated for anything in this matter. If one's guess settles on the side of three, one then is to perform one more Rak’at and he is not obligated for anything in this matter. If one's guess does not settle on either side and one is certain of performing two Rak’at, one is to perform one Rak'at in a standing position, then say Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace) and performs two Rak’at in a sitting position with al-Fatihah al-Kitab. If one, in fact, has performed two Rak’at, the two Rak’at performed in a standing position before Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace) complete the four Rak'at. The two Rak'at in a sitting position are in place of one Rak'at and his Salat is complete. If one has performed three Rak’at the one Rak’at performed in a standing position completes the four Rak'at and the two Rak'at one has performed in a sitting position are counted as recommended Salat.

Mistakes about Four or Three Rak'at

"One who doubts and does not know if one has performed three or four and his guess settles on the side of three Rak’at, one is to perform one Rak'at, then say Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace) and he is not obligated for anything in this matter. If one's guess settles on the side of four, one says Salam and he is not obligated for anything in this matter. If one's guess settles on three and four, one says Salam with his doubtful condition and performs two Rak'at in a sitting position with al-Fatihah al-Kitab. If one has performed three the two Rak’at arc counted as one to complete the four, and if one has performed four Rak’at these two are counted as recommended Salat in one's favour.

Mistakes about Four or Five Rak'at

"One who doubts and does not know if one has performed four or five Rak’at, if one's guess settles on the side of four, one is to say Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace) and' he is not obligated for anything in this matter. If one's guess settles on five one performs his Salat again. If one's guess about both sides are equal one is to say Salam, then perform two Sajdah because of mistake which are destroyers (of Satan).
