Factors Which Nullify Namaaz as Mentioned in Hadith

Hadith 1: It is in Muslim Shareef from Mu’awiyah bin Al Hakm that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘In Namaaz, the words of any human is not possible, it should not be, but Tasbeeh, Takbeer and Qira’at of the Qur’an.’

Hadith 2: In Sahih Bukhari it is narrated from Abdullah ibn Mas’ud رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم used to be in Namaaz and we would convey Salaam to Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  and Huzoor  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم used to reply to our Salaam. When we returned from Najashi’s place (i.e. after migration to Abyssinia/Ethiopia), we conveyed Salaam, but he صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  did not reply. We said, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم we used to convey Salaam and Huzoor  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم used to reply to our Salaam (what has happened that we did not get a reply to our Salaam)?’ He  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Due to being engrossed in Namaaz’.

In the narration of Abu Dawud that he  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Allah makes evident whatever Command of His, He Wills, and from this, is not to convey Salaam in Namaaz’. Only thereafter, did he  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم reply to their Salaam. He  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم further said, ‘Namaaz is for Qira’at of the Qur’an and the Zikr of Allah, so when in Namaaz, this should be your status.’

Hadith 3: Imam Ahmed, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi and Nasa’i have reported from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘Two black things, (namely) snakes and scorpions should be killed in Namaaz’.

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 3)
