4. Ṣalāh (Ritual Prayers)
٤۔ كتاب الصلاة
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew aside the curtain (of his apartment) and (he saw) people in rows (saying prayer) behind Aba Bakr. And he said: Nothing remains of the glad tidings of apostlehood, except good visions which a Muslim sees or someone is made to see for him. And see that I have been forbidden to recite the Qur'an in the state of bowing and prostration. So far as Ruk'u is concerned, extol in it the Great and Glorious Lord, and while prostrating yourselves be earnest in supplication, for it is fitting that your supplications should be answered.
كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السِّتَارَةَ وَالنَّاسُ صُفُوفٌ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلاَّ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْمُسْلِمُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ أَلاَ وَإِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا فَأَمَّا الرُّكُوعُ فَعَظِّمُوا فِيهِ الرَّبَّ ﷻ وَأَمَّا السُّجُودُ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَقَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew aside the curtain and his head was bandaged on account of illness in which he died. He said: O Allah, have I not delivered (Thy Message)? (He repeated it) three times. Nothing has been left out of the glad tidings of apostlebood, but good vision. which a pious servant (of Allah) sees or someone else is made to see for him. He then narrated like the hadith transmitted by Sufyan.
كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السِّتْرَ وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْصُوبٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلاَّ الرُّؤْيَا يَرَاهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me to recite (the Qur'an) in a state of bowing and prostration.
نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade to recite the Qur'an, while I am in the state of bowing and prostration.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ أَوْ سَاجِدٌ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me from the recitation (of the Qur'an) in bowing and prostration and I do not say that he forbade you.
أَنَّهُ قَالَ نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ وَلاَ أَقُولُ نَهَاكُمْ
My loved one (the Holy Prophet) forbade me that I should recite (the Qur'an) in a state of bowing and prostration.
أَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا
The Apostle of Allah ﷺ forbade me to recite the Qur'an while I am in a state of bowing and prostration, and in their narration (there is a mention of) forbiddance from that (recital) in the state of prostration as it has been transmitted by Zuhri, Zaid b. Aslam, al-Wahid b. Kathir, and Dawud b. Qais.
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ إِلاَّ الضَّحَّاكَ وَابْنَ عَجْلاَنَ فَإِنَّهُمَا زَادَا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كُلُّهُمْ قَالُوا نَهَانِي عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِي رِوَايَتِهِمُ النَّهْىَ عَنْهَا فِي السُّجُودِ كَمَا ذَكَرَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ
This hadith is transmitted on the authority of 'Ali, but he made no mention of" while in prostration".
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي السُّجُودِ
I was forbidden to recite (the Qur'an) while I was bowing, and there is no mention of 'Ali in the chain of transmitters.
أَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ لاَ يَذْكُرُ فِي الإِسْنَادِ عَلِيًّا
