Chapter 11: Makruh Actions In
Namaaz
Hadith 1: Bukhari and Muslim report from
Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم forbade keeping the hands on the waist in Namaaz.
Hadith 2: It is in Sharh us Sunnah from Ibn
Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘To keep the hands on the waist in Namaaz is the comfort
of the hell-dwellers.’
Hadith 3: Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud and
Nasa’i report that Ummul Mo’mineen Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا states, ‘I asked Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم about looking around whilst in Namaaz, and he said that
this is to carry away, for shaitaan carries away from the Namaaz of a servant (of
Allah).’
Hadith 4: Imam Ahmed, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i,
and Ibn Khuzaima and Haakim on the note of correctness report from Abu Zirr رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘That a person who is in Namaaz, is within the Special
Mercy of Allah as long as he does not look around (in Namaaz), and when he
turns he his face (away), His (Allah’s) Rahmat also turns away.’
Hadith 5: Imam Ahmed reports on the merit
of a Hassan narration from Abu Ya’la that Hazrat Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ says, ‘My Beloved صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم forbade us from three things; from pecking like a bird; from
sitting like a dog and from looking around (in Namaaz).’
Hadith 6: Baz’zaz reported from Jabir bin
Abdullah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When a person stands up for Namaaz, Almighty Allah
places His Special Mercy upon him, and when he starts to look around; he says,
‘O Bani Adam! To where are you diverting your attention. Is there anyone better
than me towards whom you are directing your attention?’ Then when he diverts
his attention, Again He (Allah) says this to him, and when he diverts his
attention (from Allah’s remembrance) for the third time; Almighty Allah moves
His Special Mercy away from him.’
Hadith 7: Tirmizi narrated a Hassan
narration wherein it is mentioned that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said to Anas bin Maalik رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ, ‘O lad! Guard yourself from
diverting your attention in Namaaz, for diverting attention in Namaaz is (cause
for) destruction.
Hadith 8-12: Bukhari,
Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and Nasa’i report from Anas bin Maalik رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that he صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘What is the position of those who whilst in Namaaz
raise their eyes to the sky. They should abstain from this, or their eyesight
will be taken away’. There are narrations in the books of Hadith from Ibn Umar,
Abu Hurairah, Abu Sa’eed Khudri and Jabir رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہم which are very similar to this.
Hadith 13: Imam Ahmed Abu Dawud and Tirmizi
on the benefit of soundness; and Ibn Majah, Ibn Hib’ban and Ibn Khuzaima report
from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When anyone from amongst you stands for Namaaz,
then do not touch pebbles (i.e. play with pebbles), for the Mercy is directed
(to him).’
Hadith 14: It is in Sihah Sit’ta from
Muayqeeb رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ; Do not touch (i.e. move) pebbles
and if you are helpless to do it, then only once.
Hadith 15: It is reported in the Sahih of
Ibn Khuzaima that Jazar رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ says, I
asked Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی
علیہ وسلم about touching pebbles in Namaaz,
and he said, ‘only once, but if you abstain from this, then it is better than (being
rewarded) with 100 she-camels with black eyes.’
Hadith 16-17: It is reported in Muslim from Abu
Sa’eed Khudri رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When a person feels the need to yawn in Namaaz, he
should try his best to stop it, as shaitaan enters the mouth (when yawning).’
The Narration of Sahih Bukhari is
from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ that He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘when a person feels the need to yawn in Namaaz, he
should try to hold it back as much as possible. When saying ‘Haa’ (the sound when
yawning with mouth open), this is from shaitaan. Shaitaan laughs through this.’
The Narration of Tirmizi and Ibn Majah is from him (Abu Hurairah as well) and
in that after what has been aforementioned, he صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Keep your hand on your mouth’ (i.e. when you
yawn).
Hadith 18-19: Imam Ahmed, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi,
Nasa’i and Daarimi report from Ka’ab bin Ujrah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said; ‘When a person makes Wudu properly and leaves with
the aim of going to the Masjid, he should not put the fingers of one hand into the
fingers of the other hand, as he is in Namaaz’. (i.e. he is going towards
Ibaadat so he is in Ibaadat). A similar Hadith is narrated by Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ
Hadith 20: It is reported in Sahih Bukhari
and Shafeeq that Huzaifa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ noticed a
person who was not completing his Ruku and Sujood correctly. When he had finished,
he called him and said, ‘Your Namaaz is not done’. The Narrator says, ‘It is my
assumption that he also said (to him), that if you die (in this condition), you
will die distant from the way of Muhammad صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم .’
Hadith 21-24: Bukhari reported in his Taarikh
and Ibn Khuzaima etc reported from Khalid bin Waleed, Amr bin A’as, Yazeed bin
Abi Sufyaan and Sharjeel bin Husna رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہم that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم observed a person reading Namaaz, that he does not
complete his Ruku properly and pecks (like a bird) in Sajdah, He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم commanded him to complete his Ruku correctly, he صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘that if he dies in this condition, he will not die
on the faith (i.e. way) of Muhammad صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم .’ He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم then said, ‘One who does not do his Ruku in full and who pecks,
is like that hungry person, who eats only one or two dates, which are of no use
to him.’
Hadith 25: Imam Ahmed reports from Abu
Qatadah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The worst thief is the one who steals from his
(own) Namaaz’. The Sahaba asked, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم , how does he steal from Namaaz?’ He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘by not making his Ruku and Sujood in full’. (i.e.
not completing it correctly).
Hadith 26: Imam Maalik and Ahmed report from
Nu’man bin Mur’rah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ that before the
command of Hudood (Class of Punishment fix for crimes) was revealed,
Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم whilst addressing the
Sahaba-e-Kiraam said, ‘What are your thoughts about those who consume alcohol,
adulterers and thieves?’ They all said, ‘Allah and His Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم know best’ He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘These are extremely even doings, and there is
punishment for them, and the more severe theft, is to steal from your (own) Namaaz.’
They asked, ‘How will one still from his Namaaz?’ He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘By not fulfilling his Ruku and Sujood in full’. A
similar narration is present in Daarimi as well.
Hadith 27: Imam Ahmed reported from Talq bin
Ali رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Allah does not look towards the Namaaz of a servant
wherein he does not straighten his back between Ruku and Sujood’.
Hadith 28: Abu Dawud and Tirmizi report on
merit of Hassan that Anas رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ says that
during the time of Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم we would abstain from standing in a doorway’. Another
narration says that we would be bumped pushed out.
Hadith 29: Tirmizi reported that Umm ul
Mo’mineen Salma رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہا says that
one of our bondsman by the name of Aflah (always) blew when he made Sajdah. He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Aflah! Rub your face in dust’. (i.e. do not try to
blow away the dust)
Hadith 30: Ibn Majah reported from Ameer ul
Mo’mineen Hazrat Ali رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When you are in Namaaz, do not intertwine your
fingers’. Actually, in one narration it is mentioned that he صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم forbade intertwining the fingers whilst waiting in the Masjid
for Namaaz.
Hadith 31: It is reported in Sihah Sit’ta
that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘I have been commanded to
perform Sajdah on seven parts and not to gather (fold) the clothing or the
hair.’ (In Namaaz)
Hadith 32: It is reported in Sahihain from
Ibn Ab’bas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘I have been commanded to perform Sajdah on seven
bones; the face, both hands, both knees both feet. (i.e. toes of the feet), and
we have been commanded not to gather our clothing and hair’.
Hadith 33: Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and Daarimi
reports from Abdur Rahmaan bin Shubl, that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم forbade us from pecking like a crow and spreading our
legs like wild beasts; and he forbade us from fixing a set place in the Masjid
(for yourself), like a camel fixes a place (for itself).
Hadith 34: Tirmizi reported from Hazrat Ali رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘O Ali! What I love for me, I love for you, and
what I regard as Makruh for me, I regard as Makruh (disliked) for you. Do not
sit between both Sajdahs in Iq’a (a manner whereby your rear is on the ground
and the heels are raised).
Hadith 35: Abu Dawud has reported it and
Haakim in Mustadrak, from Buraidah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم forbade that a man should only wear a trouser and read
his Namaaz without covering with a sheet.
Hadith 36: It is in Sahihain from Abu
Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘None from amongst you should read Namaaz in only
one cloth (sheet etc) whereby there is nothing on your shoulders.’
Hadith 37: It is reported in Sahih Bukhari
from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ, that he صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said that, ‘if a person reads Namaaz in only one sheet,
(in other words, it is that which suffices as a sheet and as a waist cloth), Then
he should throw this end over on that side and that end over to this side.’
Hadith 38: Abdur Raz’zaq reported in (his)
Musannaf that Ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی
عنہما gave Naaf’i
two pieces of clothing to wear, and he was a young lad at that time. Later when
he went to the Masjid, he found him there reading Namaaz wrapped in one sheet.
On seeing this he said, ‘Do you not have two sheets that you could have worn?’ He
said, ‘Yes’; ‘If I send you out of the house (building) will you wear both?’ he
said, ‘Yes’ He said, ‘Is adornment more appropriate when standing in the Court
of Allah (i.e. in Ibaadat), or for the people?’.
Hadith 39: Imam Ahmed reports that Ubay bin
Ka’ab رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ said that ‘Namaaz in one sheet (cloth) is Sunnat (i.e.
permissible), because in the Era of Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم , we used to do this, and we were not faulted for doing
this.’ Abdullah ibn Mas’ud رضی اﷲ
تعالیٰ عنہ has
mentioned that this is only in the case when one has a shortage of clothes, and
for the one whom Allah has blessed with abundance, he should wear two pieces of
clothes in Namaaz, This is more tidy.
Hadith 40: Abu Dawud reports from Abdullah
ibn Mas’ud رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘For that person who trails his waist cloth with pride,
he is completely deprived of Allah’s Mercy.’
Hadith 41: Abu Dawud reports from Abu
Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that a person was reading (his
Namaaz) whilst his waist cloth was trailing (hanging low). He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Go and make Wudu’ He went, made Wudu and returned.
Someone asked, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم , what happened, that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم commanded him to perform Wudu (again)?’ Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘He was reading Namaaz with his waist cloth hanging
low, and verily Allah does not accept the Namaaz of a person who lets his waist
cloth hang’ (in other words so low that it hide his ankles). Shaykh Muhaqqiq
Muhadith Dehlwi رحمتہ اﷲ تعالیٰ states in Lam’aat; ‘He was commanded
to perform Wudu so that he understands that this is a sin, and that Wudu is a
kafaara (atonement) for sins, and it is that which removes the means to sin.’
Hadith 42: Abu Dawud reports from Abu
Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When one reads Namaaz, he should not keep his
shoes to his right, and he should not keep it to his left as well, as it would
be to the right of another person; except when there is no one to his left; but
the shoes should be kept between both the legs (Feet).’
