عن علي بن أبي طالب – رضي الله عنه -, قال: كان النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم – يصلي قبل العصر أربع ركعات, يفصل بينهن بالتسليم على الملائكة المقربين, ومن تبعهم من المسلمين والمؤمنين. رَوَاهُ التِّرمِذِيُّ ، وَقَالَ: ((حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ)).

From ‘Ali bin Abi Talib radhiyallahu‘ anhu said, “the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam used to pray four rak’ahs before Asr. He separated between the four rak’ahs with greetings to the angels who were approached and to the Muslims and believers who followed them. “(Narrated by Tirmidhi, he said that this hadith is hasan) [HR. Tirmidzi, no. 429; Ibn Majah, no. 1161; Ahmad, 1:58 Shaykh Salim bin ‘Ied Al-Hilaly said that this hadith sanad hasan]

Hadith # 1120
عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما, عن النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم -, قال: ((رحم الله امرءا صلى قبل العصر أربعا)) رواه أبو داود والترمذي, وقال: ((حديث حسن)).

From Ibn ‘Umar radhiyallahu‘ anhuma, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,” May Allah bless someone who performs the prayer before Asr four rak’ahs. “(Narrated by Abu Daud and Tirmidhi, Tirmidhi said that this hadith is hasan) [HR. Abu Daud, no. 1271; Tirmidzi, no. 430; Ahmad, 2: 117. Shaykh Salim bin ed Ied Al-Hilaly said that this hadith sanad hasan].

Hadith # 1121
وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ – رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ -: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ – صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ – كَانَ يُصَلِّي قَبلَ العَصْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. رَوَاهُ أبُو دَاوُدَ بِإِسْنَادٍ صَحِيْحٍ.

From ‘Ali bin Abi Talib radhiyallahu‘ anhu that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam used to pray two rak’ahs before Asr. (Narrated by Abu Daud with saheeh sanad) [HR. Abu Daud, no. 1272. Shaykh Salim bin ed Ied Al-Hilaly states that this hadith is a hadith of syadz, interspersing a stronger history which states four rak’ahs. Syadz belongs to the Dhaif hadith group].

Benefit of Hadith

All of the hadiths show the primacy of the Sunnah qabliyah Asr prayer four rak’ahs.
Keeping the routine sunnah rawatib prayer (which accompanies the obligatory prayer) is because God’s grace comes.

How to do the Sunnah Prayer for the Sabbath of Asr Four Rakaat

How to work four rakaat qabliyah Ashar is with two rak’ah salam, two rak’ah salam.

From Ibn ‘Umar radhiyallahu‘ anhuma, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,

صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى

“Prayer (sunnah) night and daytime are two rakaat salam, two rakaat salam.” (Narrated by Abu Daud, no. 1295; Tirmidhi, no. 597; An-Nasa’i, no. 1667. Al-Hafizh Abu Thahir say that this hadith is hasan).

Also there is a hadith which states how to perform qabliyah prayer ‘Asr as many as four rak’ahs with every two rak’ahs of greetings, namely‘ Ali states,

وَأَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ

“And the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam performed qabliyah’ Asr as many as four rak’ahs, separated between two rak’ahs with greetings.” (Narrated by Ibn Majah, no. 1161 and Tirmidzi, 598, 599. Al-Hafizh Abu Thahir said this hadith hasan). This hadith was made a proposition by the Shafi’i school of thought that qabliyah ‘the Asr was four rak’ahs and included rawatib sunnah prayers. (See Syarh Sunan Abi Daud li Ibni Ruslan, 6: 333-334)

When seen, it means the qabliyah prayer ‘Asr is set based on the words and deeds of the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam.

May Work on the Sunnah Prayers of Qabliyah Asr Dua Rakaat

From Umm Salamah radhiyallahu ‘anha mentioned,

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ

“The Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam used to do two rak’ahs of qabliyah ‘Asr. “(Narrated by An-Nasa’i, no. 581 and Ahmad, 6: 306. Syaikh Syu’aib Al-Arnauth states that this hadith is saheeh)

Textually what is meant by the hadith above, qabliyah prayer ar Ashar is two rak’ahs. See Saheeh Muslim Syarh, 6: 110.

Another reason that shows qabliyah ‘Asr is two rak’ahs as the following hadith,

عن عبد الله بن مغفل قال قال النبى – صلى الله عليه وسلم – «بين كل أذانين صلاة بين كل أذانين صلاة – ثم قال فى الثالثة – لمن شاء»

From ‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal radhiyallahu’ anhu, he stated that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said, “Between two azan (azan and iqamah) there are prayers, between the two azan there are prayers, then mentioned the third time -, for those who want . ”(Narrated by Bukhari, no. 627 and Muslim, no. 838)

May Allah give taufik and hidayah to continue to maintain good deeds.

Hadith Behind Prayer Sunnah Fajar

Here are some traditions about the sunnah prayer of Fajar (qabliyah Shubuh) from the Book of Riyadhus Shalihin (Kitab Al-Fadhail) by Imam Nawawi.

Riyadhus Sholihin by Imam Nawawi, Kitab Al-Fadhail, Chapter 196. Importance of Two Rakaat Prayers Sunnah Shubuh

Hadith # 1100
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عنْهَا أ،نَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَيْهِ وَسَلَمَ كَانظُّ لاَ يَدَعُ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ ، ورَكْعَتَيْنِ قبلَ الغَدَاةِ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ.

From yah Aisha radhiyallahu ‘anha, the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam never left four raka’at qabliyah Zhuhur and two raka’at qabliyah Shubuh. (Narrated by Bukhari) [HR. Bukhari, no. 1182]

Benefit of Hadith
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallambiasa prayers of the four raka’ah qabliyah, sometimes he also worked on two raka’at as mentioned in the hadith of Ibn’ Umar radhiyallahu ‘anhuma Syaikh Salim ibn’ Ied Al-Hilali hafizhahullahmengatakan that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallamkadang did four raka’at, sometimes doing two raka’at.
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallambiasa guarded the qabliyah prayers of the Prophet when he was resident and safar.

Hadith # 1101
وَعَنْهَا قَالَتْ: لَمْ يَكُنِ النَّبِيُّ عَلَّى اللهُ وَسَلَّمَ, عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ النَّوَافِلِ أشَدَّ تَعَاهُدَاً مِنهُ عَلَى رَكْعَتَي الفَجْرِ. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ.

From yah Aisha radhiyallahu ‘anha, he stated,” There is no prayer that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallams was very attentive besides two raka’at qabliyah Shubuh.” (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim) [HR. Bukhari, 1169 and Muslim, no. 724]

Benefit of Hadith
The rawatib sunnah prayers are multilevel.
The Prophet sallallaahu aih alaihi wa sallams very concerned with the sunnah qabliyah prayer more than other sunnah prayers.
Morning sunnah prayers include sunnah prayers, not mandatory.

Hadith # 1102
وَعَنْهَا عَنِ النبيِّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قَالَ: “رَكْعَتاَ الفَجْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنيَا وَمَا فِيْهَا” رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: “لَهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِليََّ مِنَ الدُّنْيا جَمِيْعاً”.

From yah Aisha radhiyallahu ‘anha, she stated,” Two rak’ahs of Sunnah Fajar prayers are better than the world and everything in it. “(Narrated by Muslim). In another history, it was stated, “Two rak’ahs of Sunnah Prayers I like more than all the world.” [HR. Muslim, no. 725]

Benefit of Hadith
This hadith shows the primacy of the Fajar sunnah prayer two raka’at.
Whatever God provides for servants in heaven (eternal land) is better than the world and everything in it.
The prayer becomes an eye conditioning for a believer because in the prayer there is calm and thuma’ninah.

Hadith # 1103
وعن أبي عبد الله بلال بن رباح رضي الله عنه, مؤذن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليؤذنه بصلاة الغداة, فشغلت عائشة بلالا بأمر سألته عنه حتى أصبح جدا, فقام بلال فآذنه بالصلاة, وتابع أذانه, فلم يخرج رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم َ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ، فَأَخبَرهُ عَائِشَةَ شَغَلَتْهُ بِأَمْرٍ سَأَلَتْهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَصْبَ جدا, وأنه أبطأ عليه بالخروج, فقال يعني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: “إني كنت ركعت ركعتي الفجر” فقال: يا رسول الله إنك أصبحت جدا? فقالَ: “لَوْ أَصْبَحْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَصبَحْتُ ل لرَكعْتُهُمَا ، وأَحْسنْتُهُمَا وَأَجمَلْتُهُمَا” رَوَاهُ أَبو دَاوُدَ بِإِسْنَادٍ حَسَنٍ

From Abu ‘Abdillah Bilal bin Rabah, the muezzin of the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam, that he came to the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam to inform him of the prayer times of Shubuh. However, Aisha made busy Bilal with one thing she asked so that it was very early in the morning. Then Bilal stood up and told him the prayer times and followed by his prayer. However, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam had not yet come out. So when the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam came out, he prayed for the people.

After that, Bilal told him that is Aisha had occupied herself with one request so that it was very early in the morning and the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam was slow to come out. So he said, “I carried out prayers two rak’ahs qabliyah Shubuh first.” Bilal then said, “O Messenger of Allah, in fact you have entered the time of the morning?” He said, “If I were later than this morning, I would pray two raka ‘at that, as well as perfecting and dividing it. “(Narrated by Abu Daud, with sanad hasan) [HR. Abu Daud, no. 1257. Al-Hafizh Abu Thahir said that this hadith sanad is authentic]

Benefit of Hadith
May talk to a woman and ask her when needed.
Bilal truly glorified the Prophet’s name, yah Aisha radhiyallahu ‘anha, He really heard what Aisha said to fulfill her purpose and did not deny it.
May preach there are people who make us become busy, keep conveying in a subtle way.
Let the worshipers wait for the priest until the priest arrives as long as he does not escape prayer times.
It’s okay for the muezzin to ask the priest to immediately attend the prayer.
Anyone who leaves the prayer or leaves the prayer time without getting old, even busy with buying and selling, let there be additional practice done such as increasing the reading of the Qur’an, multiplying the rosary of dhikr, increasing prayer, thuma’ninah and khusyu in worship during the time is still there. This is done to cover up the shortcomings because of ending the prayer from the beginning of time. Covering these shortcomings can also be done by giving charity and freeing slaves as done by the salaf in the past.
‘Umar bin Al-Khattab radhiyallahu‘ anhupernah punished himself by issuing alms in the form of land that cost 200,000 dirhams because he escaped from the prayer ‘Asr in congregation.

Ibn ‘Umarradhiyahuahu hum Anapapah one time escaped from prayer in congregation, he instead replaced it by living the whole night.

Ibn Abi Rabi’ah rahimahullah never escaped from the two sunnah prayers of Sunnah Fajar, for his ransom, he freed a slave.

Ibn ‘Aun Rahimahullah made a mistake, when his mother called him, he answered in a loud voice instead. He finally released two slaves. (Hilyah Al-Auliya ‘, 3:39. See A’mal Al-Qulub, p. 385)

Imam Al-Muzani when he escaped from one jama’ah prayer, he redeemed him by doing the prayer twenty-five times. (A’lam An-Nubala ’Siyar, 12: 495)

Wallahu waliyyut taufiq was sadaad. Only God gives taufik and hidayah.

Forgot to Read Prayers Before Relation, What Should I Do?

If You Forgot To Read Prayer Before Related
What if you forget to read the prayer before having sex? Do you have to read the prayer afterwards?

Answer:

Bismillah was shalatu was greeting ‘ala Rasulillah, wa ba’du,

Reading prayers before relating has many benefits. Among them,

First, As a veil of human genitals from the view of Jinn

In the hadith from Abu Said al-Khudri radhiyallahu ‘anhu, the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam said,

سِتْرُ ما بَيْنَ أَعْيُنِ الْجِنِّ وَبَيْنَ عَوْرَاتِ بَنِي آدَمَ ، إِذَا خَلَعَ الرَّجُلُ ثَوْبَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ: بِسْمَِ

“The veil between the eyes of the genie and the nakedness of the people of adam (man) is when someone takes off his clothes, he reads: bismillah. (Narrated by Ibn Adi, at-Thabrani in Mu’jam al-Ausath – al-Mathalib al-Aliyah, al-Hafidz Ibn Hajar, no. 37).

Second, the child of the relationship is protected by God

In the hadith of Ibn Abbas radhiallahu ‘anhuma, that the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam said,

“If one of you (husband) wants to associate with his wife, and he reads the prayer:

بَّاسِمِ اللَّهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا

“By (mentioning) the name of Allah, O Allah, keep us away from (the disturbance) of Satan and take away Satan from the provision that You have given us.”

If God destined (birth) the child of the relationship, then Satan will not be able to harm the child forever. “(Narrated by Bukhari 141 and Muslim 1434)

What if you forget?

If you forget, of course the opportunity to get the benefits above will be lost. It’s just that, this prayer is not mandatory, and there is no danger if left behind. And there is no suggestion to read it in the middle of the heart or after watching.

In the Syabakah Islamiyah Fatwa stated,

وهذا الدعاء مستحب لا واجب ، فمن تركه ولو عمدا لم يكن عليه جناح

This prayer is recommended and not mandatory. Therefore, whoever leaves it, even if intentionally, is innocent. (Fatwa Syabakah Islamiyah, no. 146507)

Will the child be rebellious?

If God is destined to be a child, will his child be rebellious?

one reason to protect children from Satan’s temptation is to read prayers before engaging in sexual relations.

It’s just that it needs to be understood, that it is only one reason. That is, there are still other causes that shape the character of a child.

The cleric asserted that this hadith does not show that every child born from the results of bodily relationships which were previously preceded by prayer, he will become a capable human being, free from every sin and temptation of Satan.

Because every incident has a cause and there is a barrier. The efforts of parents, who pray when they want to have sex, are one reason that the child survives the temptations of Satan. However, in the course of his life, there are many barriers and other causes, which make this child unable to get rid of the temptations of Satan, so he does immorality. (Taisirul Alam Syarah Umdatul Ahkam, 1/588)

Therefore, it is not a guarantee that every child born of a bodily relationship that begins with prayer will surely be a pious child. Likewise, vice versa, is not a guarantee, every child born from an intercourse without beginning a prayer, or even born from an illegitimate relationship (zina), will surely become a child of Satan, or an army of demons.

Among the efforts that parents can make is to pay attention to education during the child’s developmental period. Allah says,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ

“O ye who believe, take care of yourself and your family from the fire of hell whose fuel is man and stone.” (QS. At-Tahrim: 6)

Including praying that the family is always taken care of, and given guidance. Like the prayer that Allah mentioned in Surat al-Furqan when God told me about the character of Ibadurrahman,

وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

“And those who say:” Our Lord, give us our wives and our descendants as our hearts (ours), and make us priests for those who fear. “(Surat al-Furqan: 74) .

So, Allahu ‘alam.

I Don’t Need Your Prayer

One group deviating from Islam is Mu’tazilah. This group is known to promote logic in understanding the text of the Shari’a. When revelation (the Qur’an and sunnah) is contrary to their logic, it will be tampered with, then interpreted according to the weak logic. Or even just rejected. They also believe that Allah ﷻ does not record fate. Goodness and ugliness are human endeavors. Even though Allah irman said it denied Pharaoh who said that evil had come from Moses.

فإذا جاءتهم الحسنة قالوا لنا هذه وإن تصبهم سيئة يطيروا بموسى ومن معه ألا إنما طائرهم عند الله ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون

Then when they come to prosperity, they say: “That is because of our (effort)”. And if they were afflicted, they threw it because of bad luck to Moses and those who were with him. Know, truly their misfortune is a decree from God, but most of them do not know. (QS: Al-A’raf | Verse: 131).

The Mu’tazilah people claim that humans created their deeds. And Allah ﷻ says,

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

“Even though Allah created you and what you did.” (QS: Ash-Shaaffat | Verse: 96).

According to them Allah menciptakan does not create evil, and does not prevent humans from doing bad things. It is human beings who act and create their own deeds. This is the form of sanctifying Allah ﷻ. And this is their monotheism. Even though in Ahlussunnah’s belief is kesyirikan. Because it implies that there are two creators. Creator of good and bad.

Magi believes there is a God of good and God of evil. If the Lord of good wins, then there are good deeds on the face of the earth. If God is the evil that wins, then there will be immorality, murder, and chaos.

I Don’t Need Your Prayer

Hopefully the following story explains about the wrongness of such beliefs.

There is a zuhud and a worship expert who is influenced by the Mu’tazilah thought, his name is Amr bin Ubaid. One day an Arab village (Arab Badui) met Amr bin Ubaid.

The Bedouin said, “Actually my horn was stolen. Pray to God that He will return it to me, “complained the Bedouin.

Amr raised his hand, then said a prayer, “O Allah, indeed you do not want this badui camel to be stolen. O Allah, return the camel to him. “

Hearing the prayer, the Bedouin innocently joked, “I don’t need your prayer!”

“Why?” Amr asked in surprise.

“He didn’t want my horn to be stolen, but it was still stolen. I was worried, when he wanted my ontaku back, but he didn’t come back, “replied the Bedouin innocently.

Reason that fits fitrah is not in line with Mu’tazilah thinking. They intend to purify God from evil, but they fall into error that the evil will of beings overcomes the will of God ﷻ who wants good.

Lesson

First: God’s will ﷻ there are two kinds; the will of kauniyah and the will of syar’iyah.

The will of kauniyah is everything that happens on this earth, good or bad. Allah enci hates Satan and damages him, but He with His wisdom creates Satan. God hates disobedience and kufr, but on His earth this happens. Is He inferior to the will of His creatures? Most holy of God from that. This is called the will of kauniyah. The badness happened with His permission (his will), but He hated it.

The Will of Shar’iyah is acts of obedience and deeds of righteousness of His servants. He wanted it and also blessed him. These two destiny is wisdom from Allah ﷻ.

Second: Mu’tazilah is a group that deviates from the Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah.

Third: Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah believes that Allah has power over the universe. Everything that happens in this nature is at the behest and supervision of Him. When He does not want something, then it will not happen.

Fourth: Islamic teachings are in accordance with logic and straight human fitra.

Fifth: An important principle that must be understood by every Muslim is that it is possible that the Shari’a makes confusion and wonder of reason, but the Shari’a is not something that is impossible. Because human reason is weak. There are things that are confusing and cannot be captured. Weak human reason as weak as their senses. The human eye cannot penetrate the wall, but that does not mean that there is nothing behind the wall. Because the eyes cannot see it. Likewise the quality of human reason.

Sixth: Allah ﷻ Wise in all His provisions. He is the Knower, while man does not know. It is inappropriate for humans to ask about God’s actions ﷻ. Allah ﷻ says,

لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ

“He was not asked about what He did and they would be questioned.” (QS: Al-Anbiyaa | Verse: 23).
