Salim's father (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) narrated that in the lifetime of the Prophet (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم)

whosoever saw a dream would narrate it to Allah's Apostle (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم). I had a wish of

seeing a dream to narrate it to Allah's Apostle (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم). I was a grown up boy and

used to sleep in the Mosque in the lifetime of the Prophet (وسلم آله و عليه I saw in the .(صلى هللا

dream that two angels caught hold of me and took me to the Fire which was built all round like a

built well and had two poles in it and the people in it were known to me. I started saying, ‘I seek

refuge with Allah from the Fire.’ Then I met another angel who told me not to be afraid. I

narrated the dream to Ummul Momineen Hafsa (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہا) who told it to Allah's Apostle

آله وسلم) آله وسلم) The Prophet .(صلى هللا عليه و تعالی عنہ) said, Abdullah (صلى هللا عليه و is a (رضئ هللا

good man. I wish he prayed Tahajjud.’ After that Abdullah (عنہ تعالی هللا (Salim's father) (رضئ

used to sleep but a little at night.

Ummul Momineen Aisha (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہا) narrated that the Apostle of Allah ( صلى هللا عليه و آله

used to offer eleven rak`a and that was his prayer. He used to prolong the prostration to (وسلم

such an extent that one could recite fifty verses (of the Qur'an) before he would lift his head. He

used to pray two rak`a (Sunna) before the Fajr prayer and then used to lie down on his right side

till the Muadh-dhin came and informed him about the prayer.

Jundab bin Abdullah (عنہ تعالی هللا السالم) narrated that Jibreel (رضئ did not come to the (عليه

Prophet (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) (for some time) and so one of the Quraish women said, ‘his Satan

has deserted him.’ So came the Divine Revelation - [(I swear) by the morning brightness, and by

the night when it covers (with darkens). (O' Noble Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) Your Lord did not leave you, nor

is He displeased (as some enemies are claiming). ] (Ad-Dhuhaa-1-3)

to me and Fatima (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہا), the daughter of the Prophet (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) and asked,


‘won't you pray (at night)?’ I said, ‘O Allah's Apostle (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم)! our souls are in the

hands of Allah and if He wants us to get up He will make us get up.’ When I said that, he left us

without saying anything and I heard that he was hitting his thigh and saying - َوَكاَن اإِلْنَساُن أَْكثََر َشْىٍء

used to give up a good deed, although he loved to do it, for fear that people might act on it (وسلم

and it might be made compulsory for them. The Prophet (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) never prayed the

Duha prayer, but I offer it.

It is in Hadith - Ummul Momineen Aisha ( تعال هللا عنہا یرضئ ) narrated that one night Allah's Apostle (وسلم آله و offered the prayer in the Mosque and the people (صلى هللا عليه followed him. The next night he also offered the prayer and too many people gathered. On the third and the fourth nights more people gathered, but Allah's Apostle ( صلى هللا عليه did not come out to them. In the morning he said, ‘I saw what you were doing (و آله وسلمand nothing but the fear that it (the prayer) might be enjoined (make fardh) for you, stopped me from coming to you.’ And that happened in the month of Ramadan.

Explanation

The above Hadith establishes the fact that 20 Rak’a Saltut Traweeh in the month of Ramadhan is Sunnah of the Prophet (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) and it has its beginning during the lifetime of the Apostle of Allah (وسلم آله و عليه هللا It was revived by Hadhrat .(صلى Umar (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) during his Caliphate.


It is in Hadith - Abdur Rahman bin Abdul Qari (تعالی عنہ said, "I (رضئ هللا went out in the company of Umar bin al-Khattab (عنہ تعالی هللا one (رضئ night in Ramadhan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, Umar (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) said, "In my opinion I would better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (reciter) (ie., let them pray in congregation)". So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ). Then on another night I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that Umar (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) remarked "What an Excellent Biddah ( البدعة this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its (الحسنةtime is better than the one they are offering". He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) People used to pray in the early part of the night (Bukhari).

CHAPTER (6)

Ummul Momineen Aishah (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہا) narrated that the Prophet ( صلى used to offer Salãtut Tahajjud till his feet used to be swollen (هللا عليه و آله وسلم

and split apart (heals used to get blisters). The words Al-Futoor, Ash-Shuqooq, Anfatarat and An-Shaqqat carry similar meaning.

Al-Mughira (تعالی عنہ آله وسلم) narrated that the Prophet (رضئ هللا used to stand (in (صلى هللا عليه و

the prayer) or pray till both his feet or legs swelled. He was asked why (he offered such a prayer)

and he said, ‘should I not be a thankful servant?’

And Allah’s saying - [O' Muzzammil (O' Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص covered in a sheet). Stand in prayers at night, but not the whole night, half of it

or a little less, or a little more, and recite the Quran slowly and distinctly. Soon We are going to send you a weighty

message (and entrust you with a momentous mission). Indeed, worship in the night is more impactful and suitable for recitation.

For, during the day you are over-occupied (with several


responsibilities).] (Al-Muzzammil – 1-7). And Allah's Statement - [ Indeed, Allah knows that, you and some of those with you, do stand (in Salah) close to two-thirds of the night. Sometimes half the night and sometimes close to one-third (of the night). Allah keeps the count of the day and the night (precisely). He knows that you cannot (always) keep time (so accurately). So, He has

turned to you with kindness and grace. You may recite as much of the Quran as you easily can. He knows that (at any given time)

some of you would be sick, and others would be traveling in search of Allah´s bounties. Still others would be (engaged in)

fighting for the cause of Allah. So, recite as much of the Quran as you can, establish Salah, pay Zakat and advance the virtuous loan

to Allah. Whatever good deeds you send ahead for yourself are there with Allah. You will receive the rewards for your deeds far better and bigger. Seek the forgiveness of Allah, for Allah is Most

Forgiving, Most Merciful.] (Al-Muzzammil – 20). Sahih al-Bukhari Vol 2, Bk 19, Hadith # 022

undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart

Abu Salma bin Abdur Rahman narrated that he asked Ummul Momineen Aisha ( تعالی رضئ هللا

) how is the prayer of Allah's Apostle ,(عنہا له وسلمصلى هللا عليه و آ ) during the month of Ramadan.’

She said, ‘Allah's Apostle (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) never exceeded eleven rakà in Ramadan or in

other months; he used to offer four rakà, do not ask me about their beauty and length, then four

rakà, do not ask me about their beauty and length, and then three rakà.’ Ummul Momineen

Aisha (تعالی عنہا آله وسلم) further said, ‘I said, 'O Allah's Apostle (رضئ هللا Do you !(صلى هللا عليه و

sleep before offering the witr prayer?' He replied, 'O Àisha ( تعالی عنہارضئ هللا )! My eyes sleep

but my heart remains awake'.

Explanation

Salafis, Deobandis and likeminded groups misinterpret the above Hadith to prove that Salat at-Taraweeh is 8 Rak’a. This understanding on their part is wrong. Ummul


Momineen Aisha ( is describing about the Tahajjud and Witr prayed of ( تعالی عنہارضئ هللاthe Prophet (وسلم آله و عليه هللا throughout the year. However, in the month of (صلى Ramadhan he prayed 20 Rak’a Taraweeh over and above his 11 Rak’a which he used to pray before dawn as 8 Rak’a Tahajjud and 3 Rak’a Witr.

It is in Hadith - Ummul Momineen Aisha ( تعال عنہا یرضئ هللا ) narrated that one night Allah's Apostle (وسلم آله و عليه هللا offered the prayer in the (صلى Mosque and the people followed him. The next night he also offered the prayer and too many people gathered. On the third and the fourth nights more people gathered, but Allah's Apostle (وسلم آله و عليه هللا did not (صلى come out to them. In the morning he said, ‘I saw what you were doing and nothing but the fear that it (the prayer) might be enjoined (make fardh) for you, stopped me from coming to you.’ And that happened in the month of Ramadan. (Bukhari, Book 19, Hadith # 9)

Ummul Momineen Aisha ( عنہا تعالی ہللا رضئ ) narrated that once (during Ramadhan) in the middle of the night Allah's Apostle ( آله و عليه ہللا صلى .went out and prayed in the mosque and some men prayed with him (وسلمThe next morning the people spoke about it and so more people gathered and prayed with him (in the second night). They circulated the news in the morning, and so, on the third night the number of people increased greatly. Allah's Apostle ( وسلم آله و عليه ہللا صلى ) came out and they prayed behind him. On the fourth night the mosque was overwhelmed by the people till it could not accommodate them. Allah's Apostle ( آله و عليه ہللا صلى came out only for the Fajr prayer and when he finished the prayer, he (وسلمfaced the people and recited 'Tashah-hud' and then said, "Amma ba'du. Verily your presence (in the mosque at night) was not hidden from me, but I was afraid that this prayer (Salat at-Raraweeh) might be made compulsory and you might not be able to carry it out.' (Bukhari, Book 11, Hadith # 48)

The Saltut Traweeh in the month of Ramadhan is Sunnah of the Prophet وسلم) آله و عليه هللا and it has its beginning during the lifetime of the (صلى Apostle of Allah (وسلم آله و عليه It was revived by Hadhrat Umar .(صلى هللا .during his Caliphate (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ)

It is in Hadith - Abdur Rahman bin Abdul Qari (تعالی عنہ said, "I (رضئ هللا went out in the company of Umar bin al-Khattab ( تعا هللا عنہرضئ لی ) one night in Ramadhan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, Umar (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) said, "In my opinion I would better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (reciter) (ie., let them pray in congregation)". So, he made up his mind to congregate


them behind Ubai bin Ka'b (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ). Then on another night I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that Umar (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) remarked "What an Excellent Biddah ( البدعة this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its (الحسنةtime is better than the one they are offering". He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) People used to pray in the early part of the night (Bukhari).

Ummul Momineen Aisha (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہا) narrated that she did not see the Prophet ( صلى هللا عليه

reciting (the Qur'an) in the night prayer while sitting except when he became old; when (و آله وسلم

he used to recite while sitting, and when thirty or forty verses remained from the Sura, he would

get up and recite them, and then bow.

for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise.’ Bilal (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) replied, ‘I did not

do anything worth mentioning except that whenever I performed ablution during the day or

night, I prayed after that ablution as much as was written for me.’

people said, ‘this rope is for Ummul Momineen Zainab (تعالی عنہا who, when she feels (رضئ هللا

tired, holds it (to keep standing for the prayer.)’. The Prophet (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) said, "Don't

use it. Remove the rope. You should pray as long as you feel active, and when you get tired, sit

down.’

Hell. Then an angel met us and told me not to be afraid. He then told them to leave me. Ummul


Momineen Hafsa ( ئ هللا تعالی عنہارض ) narrated one of my dreams to the Prophet ( صلى هللا عليه و آله

Would that he offer the night prayer (Tahajjud)!’ So after that day Abdullah bin Umar ( رضئ هللا

used to (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) started offering Tahajjud. The companions of the Prophet (تعالی عنہ

tell him their dreams that (Laila-tul-Qadr) was on the 27th of the month of Ramadan. The

Prophet (وسلم آله و عليه هللا said, ‘I see that your dreams agree on the last ten nights of (صلى

Jabir bin Abdullah narrated that the Prophet (آله وسلم used to teach us the way of (صلى هللا عليه و

doing Istikhara (to pray Allah to guide one to the right sort of action concerning any job or a

deed), in all matters as he taught us the Suras of the Qur'an. He said, ‘if anyone of you thinks of

doing any job he should offer a two rakà prayer other than the compulsory ones and say (after

the prayer) - ََوالَ أَْقِدُر َوتَْعلَُم َوالَ أَْعلَُم ْقِدرُ اللَُّهمَّ إِن ِي أَْستَِخيُرَك بِِعْلِمَك َوأَْستَْقِدُرَك بِقُدَْرتَِك، َوأَْسأَلَُك ِمْن فَْضِلَك اْلعَِظيِم، فَإِنََّك ت

guidance from Your knowledge, and Power from Your Might and I ask for Your great blessings.

You are capable and I am not. You know and I do not, and You know the unseen. O Allah! If

You know that this job is good for my religion and my subsistence and in my Hereafter, (or say,

if it is better for my present and later needs), then You ordain it for me and make it easy for me

to get, and then bless me in it, and if You know that this job is harmful to me in my religion and

subsistence and in the Hereafter, (or say, if it is worse for my present and later needs) then keep

it away from me and let me be away from it. And ordain for me whatever is good for me and

make me satisfied with it]. The Prophet (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) added that then the person should

name (mention) his need.

Abu Qatada bin Rabi Al-Ansari (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) narrated that the Prophet (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم)

said, ‘if anyone of you enters a Mosque, he should not sit until he has offered a two rakà

prayer.’

Anas bin Malik (رضئ هللا تعالی عنہ) narrated that Allah's Apostle (صلى هللا عليه و آله وسلم) led us and

offered a two rakà prayer and then went away.
