Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:
Not everyone adorned with knowledge and wisdom and is from its people; rather the people of knowledge and wisdom are those who give life to their hearts by killing the desires. As for the one who kills his heart and thus gives life to desires, then knowledge and wisdom are (merely) on his tongue (i.e. not acting upon such knowledge and wisdom). [Al-Fawaa-id: page:154]
Abu Uthmaan An-Naysabooree (rahimahullaah) said:
Whoever commands himself with the Sunnah in speech and action will speak with wisdom. And whoever commands himself with desires in speech and action will speak with innovation. [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 10/244]

Question:
What is the easiest of the tafaseer (explanations of the Quraan); which the Muslim reads and which you advise is
The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) used to command Bilaal to leave an interval between his Adhaan and Iqaamah so that two units of (prayer can be prayed). There were those amongst the companions who prayed two units of prayer between the Adhaan and the Iqaamah and the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) saw them and approved their (action). He (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ”There is a prayer between the two calls (i.e. Adhaan and Iqaama), there is a prayer between the two calls.” And whilst saying it the third time he said: “For the one who wishes”, fearing that it would be taken as something binding in his Sunnah. So if the Mu’addhin leaves an interval for that (two units of prayer), then this prayer is something good; but if he calls the Iqaamah straight away after calling the Adhaan, then busying oneself in responding to the Mu-addhin is the Sunnah. That is because the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ”If one of you hears the Mu-addhin, then let him say what he says” (i.e. he repeats what the Mu-addhin says).
And it is not befitting for anyone to leave responding to the Mu-addhin and prays those two units of prayer, because the Sunnah is that one who hears the Mu-addhin should say what the Mu-addhin is saying. Then he should send the salutation upon the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and says: ‘………….’اللهم رب هذه الدعوة التامة O Allaah! Lord of this perfect call…..” to the end of the supplication… [Source:Al-Fataawa al-Kubraa of Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) Vol: 2: page: 270-271]
Shaykh Fawzaan was asked:
Is this supplication considered comprehensive and sufficient over the other supplications:
‘O Allah indeed I ask you for the good which your prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam and your righteous slaves asked you for’
Answer:
This is a tremendous supplication, however it does not remove the need for the remaining supplications; rather the people supplicate with all the supplications they are aware of, increasing (in) good and he doesn’t restrict himself upon any one (supplication).
The prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam did not restrict himself upon one (supplication) rather he used to supplicate with this one sometimes, this one sometimes and this one sometimes (i.e he would vary the supplications he would make).

For those who would like to learn Arabic; our elder, Shaykh Hasan marzooq Al Banna was asked where can one learn Arabic in Egypt; he replied “Al-Ibaanah”; which is an Arabic Institute in Cairo and is owned and run by a Salafi sister called umm jameelah; hafidahallah. http://www.ibaanah.com/pub/
Question:
What is the ruling on delaying (following) the Imaam whether it was during Rukoo (bowing) or whilst in the state of prostration or other than that for the purpose of supplicating , and what is the proof?
Answer:
The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The Imaam is to be followed”1 so there is no delaying (of following) the Imaam and there is no preceding him. The Imaam is followed and this is that which the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) commanded. ” Bow when he bows, prostrate when he prostrates, and when he says ‘Sami Allahu liman-hamidah (Allah heard those who sent praises to Him) say then ‘Rabbana wa lakal-hamd’ (O our Lord! All the praises are for you)”2
So the Imaam is to be followed; this is that which the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) commanded with.
