Note 1
(1) The response to the hadiths mentioning prayer is that the Prophet (ﷺ) performed it on one occasion and omitted it on another. This does not indicate that it is a Sunnah but rather that it is permissible. Therefore, Abu Hanifah did not say, "The prayer is not prescribed," but rather, "It is not a Sunnah." This is mentioned by Al-‘Allamah Al-‘Ayni in ‘Umdat al-Qari.
