The Guessers—Described by Imaam Bukhaari and Imaam Nawawi

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 

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.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Al-Allaamah Al-Faqeeh Zayd Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (rahimahullaah) said:

”When a believer reads this Ayah [i.e. يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ –Allaah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge.  And Allaah is well-Acquainted with what you do] and (the other Aayaat) similar to it, he will love knowledge; seek after it and keep in contact with its people; act upon it, call the people to it and make them have a desire for it. So he benefits himself and Allaah benefits others by way of it.  Thus he follows the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-sallam) in his Dawah and conduct.”

The Fruits of Knowledge and Action

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”

The [Ruling on looking at the place of Sujood during the Janaazah prayer] and the [ruling for the person who misses more than one Takbeer of the Janaazah prayer]—Imaam Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Question:

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.

  اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا

وَخَيْرَ مَا اُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا

وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا

وَشَرِّ مَا اُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ

O Allah, I ask You for the good of it, for the good of what it contains, and for the good of what is sent with it. I seek refuge in You from the evil of it, from the evil of what it contains, and from the evil that is sent with it. [ Muslim 2/616]
