Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullaah) said, ‘Chapter: Learning about the Laws of Inheritance. Uqbah Bin Aamir said, ”Learn (the laws of Inheritance) before those who depend on Az-Zan (guessing), namely, those who base their judgment on mere presumption.”[1]
Imaam Nawawi (rahimahullaah) stated after this statement of Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullaah): ”The meaning of this is (that) you should learn from those who possess true precision, expertise and fear of Allaah before they go away (through death) and then there appears a people who speak about knowledge in conformity with the desires of their souls and with presumptions, which have no (clear or unambiguous) proof in the Islamic legislation. [2]

In this speech Shaikh Raslaan (hafidha-hullaah) quotes beautiful and detailed statements of Zayd (rahimahullaah) found in his explanations of Lum’atul Ittiqaad and Usool Ath-Thalaatha… etc
He (rahimahullaah) said: ”Whenever a person has vast knowledge and acts upon it, he is then (from those) believers with the most perfect Imaan and the closest to his Lord (The Blessed And Exalted) than them”
During the Janaazah prayer does the Musallee (i.e. praying person) look at the place of his Sujood just as in the other prayers, or is that not obligatory? And what should he do if he missed more than one Takbeer of the Janaazah prayer?
Answer:
The Sunnah (legislated) for the praying person in the Janaazah prayer and other than the Janaazah (prayer) is that he looks at the place of his Sujood, so that neither absent-mindedness nor carelessness occurs in the prayer, and thus he (establishes) khushoo. This is better. If he catches some of the prayer, then what he catches is (considered to be the first part) of his prayer, (and) this is better. And what he makes up is (considered to be the) last of it (i.e. the last part of his prayer).
If he catches the third Takbeer, he (should) make Takbeer and recite Faatiha. And if his Imaam (i.e. the one leading him in prayer) performs the forth Takbeer, he performs Takbeer and sends salutations upon the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallaam). And if his Imaam performs Tasleem, he performs Takbeer and then says, [اللهم اغفر له وارحمه]; then he performs Takbeer and (thereafter) the Tasleem.
