40 Commmon Mistakes in Salaat (part 2)






In the name of Allaah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
 
"May the Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon You"

 

Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

40 Commmon Mistakes in Salaat

Saalih Bin Abdulaziz Aal-ish-Sheikh


 
 
6. Intentionally preceding the imaam in the movements of the prayer or not following his movements. 
This nullifies the salaah or rakah for whoever bows before his imaam ruins his own rakah unless he follows it later with another bowing. Such is likewise with the rest of the arkaan (pillars) of the salaah. It is obligatory for the praying person to follow the imaam completely without preceding him or lagging behind him in any rukn (pillar) or more. 

Abu Dawood and others transmit with an authentic chain from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Verily the imaam is to be completely followed, so if he makes takbeer then you make takbeer and dont make takbeer until he does so, and if he bows then bow and dont bow until he does so…
Its origin is in the two saheehs and Al-Bukhaari has another like it narrated by Anas. The one who forgets or the one who is ignorant is excused.

7. Standing to complete a missed rakah before the imaam has completely finished making the second tasleem (i.e closing the prayer by saying As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaahi to the right and left). 

It is reported in Saheeh Muslim that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Do not precede me in the rukoo (bowing) not in the sujood (prostration) nor in going out of the prayer (al-insiraaf). 

The scholars have said that the meaning of al-insiraaf is at-tasleem and it is named such because the praying person may leave afterwards and he leaves only after the second tasleem. The one who precedes the imaam should stay in his place until the imaam has completed his salaah, then he should stand and complete whatever he missed, and Allaah knows best.


8. Making the intention for prayer aloud. 
This is a bidah (innovation), and we have previously mention the prohibition against bidah. 
The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) never made the intention for salaah aloud. 
Ibn Al-Qayyim, rahimahullah, stated in "Zaad Al-Maaad" or in "Al-Hudaa An-Nabawiyy": "When the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) would stand for salaah he said: Allaahu Akbar and said nothing else before it nor did he pronounce his intention aloud. Nor did he say: I will pray for Allaah salaah such and such while facing the Qiblah four rakaaat as imaam or follower. 

Nor did he say: Fulfilling it on time, not making it up, nor the time of fardh all ten of which are bidah for which no one has reported that he did with an authentic chain, nor even a weak one, nor musnad, nor mursal, nor a single word. Indeed not one narration of the sahaabah or the best of the following generation (taabieen), nor the four imaams."


9. Not reciting Al-Faatihah in the salaah; 
The recitation of Al-Faatihah is a pillar (rukn) and the salaah of whoever does not recite it is void. 

This is according to the Prophets (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) saying: Whoever makes a salaah wherein Al-Faatihah is not recited then it is khidaaj (miscarried) - and he repeated it three times – incomplete. [Muslim from Abu Hurairah] 
However when praying behind the imam , we have to remain silent.


Qur'aan says:
"So, when the Qur'aan is recited, listen to it, and remain silent, that you may receive mercy" (Qur'aan 7:204)

1]The Prophet of Allaah (SAW) taught us that:
"When you stand for prayer then one of you should lead the rest (i.e. Imam), and when the Imam recites remain silent." [Sahih Muslim 1:714, Ahmad, 19224, Ibn Majah 847]

2] Zayd Ibn Thabit (Ra) was asked regarding recitation behind the Imam: "There is no recitation behind the Imam" [Sahih Muslim 1:215]

10. Recitation of the Qur'aan in rukoo (bowing position) or during sujood (prostration). 

This is prohibited based on a narration from ibn Abbaas (radiallahu anhu) that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: I have been prevented from reciting the Qur'aan  while  bowing  or  in  prostration…  [Muslim]  

Ali  (radiallahu  anu)  narrates  he  said: The Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam prevented me from reciting the Qur'aan while bowing or prostrating. [Muslim and others]
