Namaaz-e-Safar
Namaaz-e-Safar (Namaaz for the Journey) consists of 2 Raka’ats which
is performed at home before embarking on a journey. It is in Tabrani that a
person has left nothing better for his family, than the 2 Raka’ats he performs
by them, at the time when intends to embark on a journey. The Namaaz which is
performed when returning from a journey is that which one should perform at his
local Masjid upon his return. It is mentioned in Sahih Muslim from Ka’ab bin
Maalik رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم
would return from his journeys at the time of
Chasht, and would first proceed to the Masjid, and perform two Raka’ats Namaaz
there, and he صلی
اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم would then spend time there in the Masjid.
[Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.640]
Law: A Musafir should perform 2 Raka’ats Nafil
before sitting down at his destination, just as Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم used to
do. [Raddul Muhtar vol.1 pg.640]
Salaat ul Layl
The Nafils that are performed at night after the Esha Namaaz are known
as Salaat ul Layl (Night Prayers), and the Nawafil of the night are greater and
more virtuous than the Namaaz of the day.
Hadith 1: A Marfu’ narration has
been reported in Sahih Muslim that after the Fard Namaaz, the most exalted are
the Night Namaaz.
Hadith 2: Tabrani reported a
Marfu’ narration that to perform some Namaaz at night is necessary, even if it
is for the amount of time that it would take to milk a goat, and the Namaaz
which is performed after the Fard of Esha is known as Salaat ul Layl. [Raddul Muhtar
vol.1 pg.640]
