Praying perfectly
بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد
Imaam al-Bukhaaree رحمه الله said:
Book of Prayer Times:
Chapter: {(And remain always) turning in repentance to Him (only), and be
afraid and dutiful to Him; and perform As-Salaah (the prayers) and be not of
Al-Mushrikeen} [Surah al-Room
(30):31]
Narrated Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما: Once a delegation of `Abdul-Qais came [1] to Allaah’s Apostle صلى الله عليه وسلم and said: ‘We belong to such and such
branch of the tribe of Rabee`ah and we can only come to you [2] in the sacred months [3]. Order us to do something good so that we
may (carry out) take it from you and also invite to it our people whom we have
left behind (at home).’ The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “I order you to do
four things and forbid you from four things. (The first four are as follows):
1. To believe in Allaah -
and then he explained it to them - to testify that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allaah and I (Muhammad) am Allaah's Apostle.
2. To offer prayers perfectly
(at the stated times).
3. To pay Zakaah
(obligatory charity). [4]
4. To give me Khumus. [5]
(The other four things
which are forbidden are as follows):
1. Dubbaa’. [6]
2. Hantam.
3. Muqaiyar. [7]
4. Naqeer [8].” [9]
[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (523, 1398, 3095, 3510, 4368, 4369,
6176, 7556) and Saheeh Muslim (23)]
Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said:
[1] They came from the
east (of the `Arabian peninsula) and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم honored them and welcomed them.
[2] Because of the
fighting (between them and the other tribe).
[3] The sacred months are
Rajab, Dhul-Qa`dah, Dhul-Hijjah, and Muharram. (The delegation could only come
in these sacred months because the people of that time would have truce and not fight each other in these 4 sacred months – and this tradition is
still continued in Islaam as well).
[4] (At this time) Hajj was
still not made obligatory.
[5] (One-fifth of the
spoils of war) were to be brought to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
[6] (All these are
utensils used for the preparation of alcoholic drinks) He صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade them this so that even the means of getting intoxicated
are removed. But he later allowed them the use of these utensils and only
forbade them consuming (or preparing) intoxicants.
[7] (A substance like) bitumen
(it is black, hard and brittle but softens when chewed).
[8] From the stems of the
date-palm.
[9] And in this (Hadeeth
we learn) that delegations should (be sent to) inquire about good and (beneficial)
knowledge.
