ف: اس حدیث میں ارشاد نبوی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ”حَتّٰى يُقِيمَ ظَهْرَهُ“ کے لفظی معنی پیٹھ سیدھی کرنے کے ہیں، کوکب دری اور بذل المجهود وغیرہ نے اس سے تعدیل ارکان مراد لئے ہیں اسی لئے ہم نے اس حدیث کے ترجمہ کو عام فہم کرنے کے لئے رکوع اور سجدہ میں جلدی نہ کرنے اور ان کو اطمینان سے ادا کرنے کے معنی اختیار کئے ہیں اور اس سے بھی تعدیل ارکان ہی مراد ہے۔

ف: اس حدیث شریف میں نماز کے چور کو مال کے چور سے اس لئے بدتر قرار دیا گیا ہے کہ مال کا چرانے والا بسا اوقات چوری سے دنیاوی فائدہ حاصل کر لیتا ہے پھر صاحب مال سے یا درگذر کروا لیتا ہے یا اگر سزا میں اس کا ہاتھ کاٹ دیا جائے تو وہ عذاب اخروی سے نجات پا لیتا ہے، اس کے برخلاف نماز کا چور نماز کی وجہ سے جس ثواب کا مستحق ہو سکتا تھا اس سے محروم ہو جاتا ہے بلکہ ثواب کے بجائے عذاب کا مستحق قرار پاتا ہے اس طرح آخرت میں سوائے نقصان اور عذاب کے کچھ بھی اس کے ہاتھ نہیں آتا۔ (یہ مضمون مرقات سے ماخوذ ہے۔)

Nu’man bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “What do you say about the drinker, the fornicator, and the thief? This was before the rulings regarding them were revealed. They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘They are immoral acts, and they carry punishments, but the worst theft is that of the one who steals from his prayer.’” They asked: “How does one steal from his prayer, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “By not completing his bowing and prostration properly.”

ف: اس حدیث شریف میں ارشاد ہے: ”وَأَمَّا السُّجُودُ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ“ سجدہ میں خوب دعا کیا کرو، یہاں لفظ ”الدعاء“ کے معنی دعا، حمد و ثناء کے کئے گئے ہیں اس لئے کہ دعا کی دو قسمیں ہیں ایک دعا، حمد و ثناء اور دوسری دعا، طلب سوال، دعا، حمد و ثناء یہ ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی پاکی اور شان عالی بیان کی جائے مثلاً ”سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى“ کہنا اور دعا طلب سوال یہ ہے کہ خارج نماز اپنے مقاصد اور ضرورتیں اللہ تعالیٰ سے مانگی جائیں۔ (یہ مضمون اشعۃ اللمعات سے ماخوذ ہے۔)

Whatever has been reported otherwise is understood to be in voluntary prayer.” Al-Khalbi said: “The matter is broad in scope.” (End quote)

ف: عقبہ بن عامر رضی اللہ عنہ کی اس حدیث سے وضاحت کے ساتھ ثابت ہوا کہ جب یہ آیتیں ”فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ اور سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى نازل ہوئیں تو حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ارشاد فرمایا کہ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ کو رکوع میں اور سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى کو سجدہ میں مقرر کرلو۔ اور اس حدیث سے پہلے والی حدیثوں میں جو مذکور ہے کہ حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم رکوع اور سجدہ میں ”سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ اور سُبْحَانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَبِحَمْدِكَ اللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْلِي“ پڑھا کرتے تھے تو اس قسم کی دعاؤں کے بارے میں درمختار میں لکھا ہے کہ یہ نفل نمازوں سے متعلق ہیں کہ ان کو نفل نمازوں کے رکوع اور سجدوں میں پڑھا جا سکتا ہے جیسا کہ حلبی کا قول ہے کہ نفل نمازوں میں اس قسم کی وسعت ہے کہ ان کے رکوع میں ”سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ“ کے بعد اور سجدہ میں ”سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى“ کے بعد ان مذکورہ دعاؤں کو پڑھا جا سکتا ہے البتہ فرض نمازوں کے رکوعوں میں سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ اور سجدوں میں سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى کے علاوہ کوئی اور دعائیں یا تسبیحات نہ پڑھی جائیں۔

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head from bowing, he said: [Narrated by Muslim] In "Ad-Durr Al-Mukhtar": There is no supplication after rising from the bowing position (Ruku’), and whatever has been reported in this regard is applied to voluntary prayers, as previously mentioned.

Arabic quotation in the English source

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ ، أَهْلَ الثَّنَاءِ وَالْمَجْدِ، أَحَقُّ مَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ - وَكُلُّنَا لَكَ عَبْدُ : اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

Hadith 1241

Volume 1

English

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the Imam says: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ (Allah hears those who praise Him), then say: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ (O Allah, our Lord, to You is all praise), for whoever's statement coincides with that of the angels, his past sins will be forgiven." [Agreed upon] In the narration of Ibn Majah and Al-Nasa’i: "When the Imam says: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ then say: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ " Our scholars have said: This is a division, for it is the division of Tasmi’ (saying "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah") and Tahmid (praising Allah), so the Tasmi’ was assigned to the Imam, and the Tahmid to the follower, and this contradicts participation. Therefore, the follower does not say Tasmi’, and the Imam does not say Tahmid. This is mentioned in "Al-Hidayah" and "Al-Binayah."

Volume 1

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when he would say: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ he would follow it with: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ [Narrated by Ibn Majah] In a narration by Al-Bukhari and Muslim from him: "Then he would say: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ when he would raise his back from Ruku’, then while standing, he would say: رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ Our scholars have said: This applies to the case of praying alone, for the one praying alone combines both statements. This is mentioned in "Al-Hidayah" and "Al-Binayah."

‘Awn ibn ‘Abdullah reported from Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you bows and says in his Ruku’: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great) three times, then his Ruku’ is complete, and that is the minimum. And when he prostrates and says in his prostration: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) three times, then his prostration is complete, and that is the minimum."

Hadith 1244

Ibn Jubayr said: I heard Anas ibn Malik say: "I have not prayed behind anyone after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) whose prayer resembled the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more than this young man," meaning ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz. He said: "So we estimated his Ruku’ to be ten Tasbihat, and his prostration to be ten Tasbihat." [Narrated by Abu Dawud and Al-Nasa’i] Our scholars have deduced from this narration and from the Hadith: "Indeed, Allah is Witr (One), and He loves Witr," that it is recommended to increase beyond three in Ruku’ and Sujood while ensuring that the last one is in an odd number, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to conclude with an odd number.

ف: اس حدیث سے ثابت ہوتا ہے کہ رکوع اور سجدے میں تسبیحات کو تین بار سے زیادہ پڑھنا مستحب ہے تین بار سے زیادہ جو تسبیحات پڑھی جائیں گی ان کو طاق عدد یعنی (5) یا (7) یا (9) یا (11) مرتبہ پر ختم کرنا ضروری ہے جیسا کہ حدیث اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ (اللہ تعالیٰ تنہا ہے اور طاق عدد کو پسند فرماتا ہے) سے اس کی تائید ہوتی ہے، یہی وجہ ہے کہ حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم رکوع اور سجدہ میں تسبیحات کو طاق عدد پر ختم فرماتے تھے۔ واضح رہے کہ ابن جبیر رضی اللہ عنہ کی اس حدیث میں جو دس دس مرتبہ تسبیحات کا ذکر ہے اس سے یہ نہ سمجھا جائے کہ عمر بن عبدالعزیز رضی اللہ عنہ درحقیقت رکوع اور سجدہ میں دس دس بار تسبیحات پڑھا کرتے تھے یہ صرف راوی کا اپنا اندازہ ہے لہذا ثابت ہوا کہ تسبیحات رکوع اور سجدہ کو تین سے بڑھانا اور طاق عدد میں ختم کرنا مستحب ہے۔ (یہ ہدایہ اور سعایہ سے ماخوذ ہے)
