3. He also narrates, “قال سمعت رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم قرء غیر المغضوب علیھم و لا الضالین فقال امین و خفض بہ صوتہ” (The translation is the same as the above Hadith.) - Abu Dawood, Tirmidhl, Ibn Abi Shaiba
4. And, "Hadrat Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ and Hadrat Ali رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ never recited "Bismillah" or "Aameen" loudly." 33.22 - Tahaawi, Tahzeebul-Asaar
5. Hadrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states, "The Imam must say four things silently: 'Bismillah', 'Rabbana lakal-Hamd', 'A'uzubillah' and 'At-Tahiyaat'.,,33.23 - Baihaqi
6. According to the Hanafi muzhab, when going to and coming up from Ruku, the hands shouldn't be lifted:
1. Hadrat Alqamah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states, "Once, Hadrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ said, "Should I demonstrate the method of Rasoolullah’sصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم namaaz?" He then performed Salaah and, except for Takbeer-e-Tahrima, never raised his hands." Imam Tirmidhi رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ has said that this Hadith of Hadrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ is Hasan. Not raising the hands during the namaaz (Rafa Yadain) is the practice of many Ulama of the Sahaaba and Taba'een." 33.24 - Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood, Nasaa'i, Ibn Abi Shoiba
2. Hadrat Baraa ibn Aazib رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ once said, "When the Messengerصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to begin namaaz, he would lift his hands and never raise them again until its end." 33.25 - Ibn Abi Shaiba
3. Hadrat Mujaahid رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states, "I performed namaaz behind Abdullah ibn Umar 4-. Except for the first Takbeer of narnaaz, he never raised his hands again.”33.26 - Tahaawi, Ibn Abi Shaiba
4. There is a narration regarding Hadrat Ali رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ, that, "... He used to lift his hands for the first Takbeer of namaaz and never again in any position." 33.27 - Baihaqi, Tahuawi
5. Hadrat Aswad رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states, "I saw Umar ibn Khattab رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ raising his hands for the first Takbeer. After that, he didn't raise his hands again in namaaz." 33.28 Imam Tahaawi رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ has stated that this Hadith is Sahih.
7. The muzhab of Imam Abu Hanifa رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ also rules that Witr Salaah is Waajib and the person who omits it is a sever sinner. Making it's Qadhaa is necessary. According to us, Witr Salaah has 3 rakaats.
On Witr being Waajib:
I. Hadrat Abu Ayub رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states that the Messengerصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم once said, "Witr is necessary on every Muslim." 3).29 - Abu Dawood, Nasaa'i, Ibn Majah
2. Hadrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ also reports the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to have said, “قال قال رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم الوتر واجب علی کل مسلم”. The translation is the same as the above Hadith.
On Witr being 3 rakaats:
1. The Holy Prophet’sصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم practice is reported by Hadrat Aisha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا "He used to perform 3 rakaats of Witr and only make Salaam on the last rakaat.”31.30 -Nasaa 'i, Tahaawi, Tibrani, Haakim
2. Hadrat Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم once said, "The witr (odd number of rakaats) of the night has three rakaats, just as the witr of the day (Maghrib Salaah)." 33.31 _ DaarQutni, Baihaqi
3. And Hadrat Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states, "Indeed the Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to perform three rakaats as Witr Salaah.,,33.32 - Tahaawi
8. In both At-Tahiyaats, a male must sit on his legs by raising the sole of the right leg while keeping the left spread:
1. Sayyidah Aisha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا states, "The Holy Prophetصلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to spread his left leg and keep his right leg raised:,)3.3 - Muslim
2. Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states, 'The Sunnat of namaaz is lifting the right leg and spreading the left." 33.34 The narration of Nasaa'i also states that the toes of the right leg should face the Qibla. - Bukhari, Nasaa'i
3. Hadrat Abu Saeed Khudri رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states; "when you sit in namaaz, raise your right leg and keep your left leg spread.” 33.35 -Baihaqi
9. If a person comes to the Musjid while the jamaat of Fajr salaah is being made and he hasn't yet read the two rakaats Sunnat, he should stand away from the jamaat and perform them, on condition that he has a strong probability of being able to join the jamaat once he finishes (even if it's at At- Tahiyaat):
1. Hadrat Abu Uthmau رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ states, "Hadrat Abdullah ibn Abbas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ entered the Musjid while the Imam was leading the Fajr congregation. He hadn't performed his Sunnah of Fajr yet, so he did away from the Imam and thereafter joined the jarnaat." 33.36 - Tahaawi
2. Hadrat Abu Ubaidullah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ narrates, "Hadrat Abu Darda رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ entered the Musjid while people were already in the saffs of Fajr namaaz.
He proceeded to perform two rakaats in a corner of the Musjid and then joined the jamaat." 33.37 - Ibid
3. Imam Hasan رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ has said, "Perform the Sunnah of Fajr in a corner of the Musjid and thereafter join the jamaat in namaaz.”33.38 - Ibid
10. To recite Surah Fatiha or any part of the Holy Quran in Janaazah Salaah with the intention of recitation (tilaawat) is impermissible:
1. Hadrat Abdullah ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ never recited the Holy Quran in Salaatul-Janaazah. - Mu 'atta Imam Malik.
All of the above 10 Hanafi rulings regarding narnaaz are supported by other Quranic verses, Ahadith, interpretations and even rational thinking. So, GhairMuqallids (who say that Hanafi rulings have no basis from the Ahadith) should be cautious.
[Translator's note: The learned author of this book has extensively discussed these and several other rulings of the Hanafi muzhab. This discussion is very scholarly and is better understood by the Ularna fraternity. We have presented only the above for the general Muslim public.]
