The Issue of 80 Duroods After Asr on Fridays Explained from<\/p>\n

Al-Qawlul Badee of Hafidh Sakhawi<\/p>\n

Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, there is a lot of discussion surrounding the following narration which the great muhaddith<\/em> and sage, Hazrat Shaikh Maulana Muhammad Zakariyah Kandhalvi placed in his \u201cFadhaail Durood<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

will have 80 years of sins forgiven, and 80 years of worship recorded for him\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It should be borne in mind that Hazrat Shaikh was a critical research scholar and never mentioned anything without first having a reference. Most of what he has written concerning this narration was taken from the khalifah<\/em> of the Hafidh of the Dunyaa, Allamah Ibn Harj Asqalani, Hafidh Shamsud Deen Sakhaawi. Hafidh Sakhaawi has a beautiful book on Salaat was Salaam (Durood) called \u201cAl-Qawlul Badee\u2019 fis Salaat alal Habibi-sh-Shafee\u2019<\/em>\u201d. This was one of Hazrat Shaikh\u2019s main reference on this issue. He also used Allamah Zabidi\u2019s amazing commentary on Ghazali\u2019s \u2018Ihyaa\u2019<\/em>, named \u2018Ithaafus Saadatil Muttaqeen\u2019 <\/em>and Imam <\/em>Suyuti\u2019s \u2018Jame\u2019us Saghir\u2019 <\/em>as references. I decided to translate the referenced passage from \u201cAl-Qawlul Badee\u2019<\/em>\u201d and explain it in a manner that would remove the confusion surrounding it. It will also remove any blame from this great luminary. If anyone was to point fingers at Hazrat Shaikh on this issue, he would actually be speaking ill of Hafidh<\/em> Sakhaawi, Imam<\/em> Suyuti, Allamah<\/em> Zabidi and others who were all experts of grading ahadith. After translating it, I decided to refer to Hazrat Shaikhs\u2019 \u201cFadhail Durood<\/em>\u201d to refresh what he had written on the issue. Low and behold, the most beautiful summary, which anyone could ask for, was penned a few decades ago by the muhaddith<\/em> of his era, Hazrat Shaikh.<\/p>\n

Growing up as a child, we constantly heard this book being read out in our local masajid<\/em> after the Fardh Salah<\/em>. From it, we learnt many ahadith<\/em> which encouraged us to do good deeds. No one can deny the success of this book, in its intended purpose, from the day it was written until present time. The objective with which it was written is to encourage the Ummah into doing good deeds. The name \u201cFadhaail \u2013ul- A\u2019amaal<\/em>\u201d (Virtues of Good Deed) says it all.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, if one re-reads \u201cFadhaail A\u2019maal<\/em>\u201d after studying the major books of hadith, its commentaries and the principles of grading hadith he would be amazed and dumbfounded at Hazrat Shaikh\u2019s prowess in grading hadith<\/em> and reconciling between the seemingly contradictory narrations. Did we really appreciate these discussions when we used to listen to it before <\/em>studying these sciences in depth? The Arabic proverb says, \u201cOnly a person of virtue can recognise virtue\u201d, and we have only scratched the surface. What is the light of a candle in comparison to the mid-day sun, shining bright? We have reproduced Hazrat Shaikh\u2019s summary here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In anyhttp:\/\/www.fiqhulislam.co\/archives\/5942https:\/\/www.fiqhulislam.com\/80-duroods-on-fridays-by-hazrat-shaikh\/ case, we will explain Hafidh Sakhawi\u2019s passage from another angle. We will sift through the narrations and point out which ones have a chain, which don\u2019t, which ones were graded by the muhaddithun<\/em> and what was the grade. Hopefully this will remove the confusion surrounding the issue. \u00a0\u0648\u0628\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0648\u0641\u064a\u0642<\/p>\n

Note: The translation of Hafidh Sakhawi\u2019s actual words are highlighted in blue<\/span>; our explanation is in black. Reading only the blue<\/span> text, one will cover two full pages (four sides) of Hafidh Sakhawi\u2019s \u201cAl-Qawlul Badee\u201d.<\/p>\n

The discussion will cover nine (9) narrations, they are labelled by letters [A-I], between brackets [], for easier reference. We have divided the article in a few pages, some shorter than others, for easy reading. The conclusion of the article is on page 10<\/a>, while a summary of it is on page 11<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Allamah Muhammad ibn Abdur Rahman Sakhaawi said in<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u0627\u0644\u0642\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u062f\u064a\u0639 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0628\u064a\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0641\u064a\u0639 \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n

[A] \u201cIt is narrated from Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 that the Messenger of Allah \ufdfa said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSalaat<\/em> (Salutations\/Durood<\/em>) upon me is a light on the Siraat<\/em> (Bridge). The one who sends salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Jumuah eighty (80) times, his sins of eighty (80) years will be forgiven.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibn Shaheen collected it in \u2018Al-Afraad<\/em>\u2019 and others, Ibn Bashkuwaal collected it from his chain, Abus Shaikh, Ad-Dhiyaa, Abul Yaman Ibn A\u2019saakir, both, collected it from the chain of Daarqutni in \u2018Al-Afraad<\/em>\u2019 as well, Dailami collected it in \u2018Musnadul Firdaws<\/em>\u2019 and Abu Nuaim (collected it). Its chain is weak. It is (collected) by Al-Azdi in \u2018Ad-Dhu\u2019afaa<\/em>\u2019 from the hadith<\/em> of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 as well, however, through another chain, which is also weak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abul Yaman ibn A\u2019saakir said, after transmitting it through the chain of Daarqutni, in which Saeed ibnul Musaiiyib\u2019s statement \u201cI feel it is narrated through Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u201d is made:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is how it is narrated with an uncertainty of it being transmitted through Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647, from the chain of A\u2019wn ibn U\u2019marah, from As-Sakan ibn Ibrahim Al-Burjumi, from Al-Hajjaaj ibn Sinaan, from Ali ibn Zaid, from Saeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

A person\/s other than A\u2019wn narrated from As-Sakan and said, \u201cfrom Abu Dharr \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u201d instead of \u2018Abu Hurairah\u2019 \u00a0\u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 without any hesitation.\u201d End (quote of Abul Yaman).<\/span><\/p>\n

Abu Sa\u2019d collected it in \u2018Sharful Mustafaa<\/em>\u2019 from the hadith<\/em> of Anas. And Allah knows best.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Hadith<\/em>,<\/p>\n

\u201cSalaat<\/em> (Salutations\/Durood<\/em>) upon me is a light on the Siraat<\/em> (Bridge). The one who sends salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Jumuah<\/em> eighty (80) times, his sins of eighty (80) years will be forgiven,\u201d was collected by many muhaddithun<\/em> in their respective books of Hadith<\/em>, History or Asmaur Raijaal<\/em>. This is a list of their names:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ibn Shaheen<\/li>\n
  2. Ibn Bashkuwaal <\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Abus Shaikh,<\/li>\n
  4. Ad-Dhiyaa,<\/li>\n
  5. Abul Yaman Ibn A\u2019saakir,<\/li>\n
  6. Daarqutni<\/li>\n
  7. Dailami<\/li>\n
  8. Abu Nuaim<\/li>\n
  9. Al-Azdi<\/li>\n
  10. Abu Sa\u2019d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is narrated through three (3) Sahabah, they are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647<\/li>\n
    2. Abu Dharr \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 and<\/li>\n
    3. Anas \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There is a doubt in the narration ascribed to Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647. The transmitter is not sure if the narrations go through Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 or some other Sahabi.<\/p>\n

      Is the chain of narration known?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Yes, the chains of narrations are known. Here we will reproduce this hadith with its chain of narrations from Ibn Bashkuwaal\u2019s book on Salaat was Salaam<\/em> (Durood<\/em>). Ibn Bashkuwaal\u2019s book is called \u2018Al-Qurbah ilaa Rabbil A\u2019alameen bis Salaat alaa Muhammad Saiyyidil Mursaleen<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      Grade:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Hafidh <\/em>Sakhawi graded two chains weak.<\/p>\n

      Concerning the narration of Saeed ibnul Musayyib from Abu Hurairah, Ibn Hajr Asqalani said, \u201cDaarqutni said, \u2018Hajjaj ibn Sinaan is alone in narrating it from Ali ibn Zaid, and no one narrated it from Hajjaj except As-Sakan, and Awn is alone in narrating it (from As-Sakan).\u2019<\/p>\n

      I (Ibn Hajr) say, all four are weak.\u201d<\/p>\n

      [Nataaijul Afkaar<\/em> by Ibn Hajr Vol.5 Pg.56, Atraful Gharaib wal Afraad<\/em> of Daarqutni by Maqdisi #5158]<\/p>\n

      Munaawi and San\u2019aani concurred with Ibn Hajr in their respective commentaries of Suyuti\u2019s \u2018Jameus Sagheer\u2019<\/em>. [\u2018Faidhul Qadir<\/em>\u2019 Vol.4 Pg.249, At-Tanweer<\/em> Vol.7 Pg.89] Ghimari did not refute Munawi in \u2018Al-Mudawi<\/em>\u2019 [Vol.4. Pg.395]<\/p>\n

      Therefore, the hadith<\/em> would be weaker according to these scholars. It is also a possibility that Sakhawi considers the hadith<\/em> extremely weak even though he sufficed with the word weak. Sometimes muhaddithun<\/em> simply say weak even if it is extremely weak as the word \u2018weak\u2019 has a wide application.<\/p>\n

      However, Hafidh <\/em>Suyuti gave this hadith a place in his \u2018Jame\u2019us Sagheer<\/em>\u2019 and referenced it to Al-Azdi in \u2018Ad-Dhu\u2019afaa<\/em>\u2019 and Daarqutni in \u2018Al-Afraad<\/em>\u2019. In its publication with \u2018Faidhul Qadeer<\/em>\u2019 [Vol.4 Pg.249] the initial of haa<\/em> (\u062d), which means hasan<\/em> (sound) is written, while San\u2019aani states in his commentary that the initial dhaad<\/em> (\u0636), which means weak is written. [See At-Tanweer<\/em> Vol. 7 Pg.89] Whether, Suyuti graded it sound or weak, his listing of this hadith in \u2018Jame\u2019us Sagheer<\/em>\u2019 is an indication that it is suitable to quote and use in the realm of Fadhail<\/em> (virtues), at the least. And Allah knows best.<\/p>\n


      \nAllamah<\/em> Muhammad ibn Abdur Rahman Sakhaawi said in<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u201c\u0627\u0644\u0642\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u062f\u064a\u0639 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0628\u064a\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0641\u064a\u0639 \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n

      [B] \u201c(The following) is reported in a wording (found) with Ibn Bahskuwaal from the hadith<\/em> of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 as well,<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u201cWhoever performs the Asr <\/em>prayer on the day of Jumuah<\/em>, and then says before he stands from his place, \u2018[\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u0650\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0648\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0622\u0644\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651\u0645\u0652 \u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0645\u064b\u0627] eighty (80) times, his sins of eighty (80) years will be forgiven, and eighty (80) years of worship will be written for him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

      It is similarly narrated from Sahl as will be mentioned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

      Explanation:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

      This is the famous hadith<\/strong> which many quote, print on banners and hang up in masajid<\/em>. It is the one which many, ulama<\/em> and laymen alike, have been practicing upon for a while.<\/p>\n

      If we ponder over Allamah <\/em>Sakhawi\u2019s words it seems that he is saying this hadith is narrated with the same chain as the above hadith, with simply a variation in the words.<\/p>\n

      He says the hadith is collected by Ibn Bashkuwaal and Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 is the transmitting Sahabi.<\/p>\n

      Sakhaawi then points out that a narration with similar words are ascribed to Sahl ibn Abdullah. This maybe the great ascetic Sahl ibn Abdillah at-Tustari. Sakhawi states he will mention this narration soon, which he does.<\/p>\n

      The Issue with this Narration: <\/strong><\/p>\n

      Ibn Bashkuwaal\u2019s booklet on \u2018salaat was salaam<\/em>\u2019 was not available in Hazrat Shaikh\u2019s<\/em> time. Therefore, he was unable to refer to it for verification. Rather, he relied upon Hafidh <\/em>Sakhawi\u2019s quote. And there is no blame on him in this as Hafidh<\/em> Sakhawi is reliable and a giant in this field. Another point noteworthy, is that Hazrat Shaikh<\/em> had used the first hadith \u201cSalaat<\/em> (Salutations\/Durood<\/em>) upon me is a light on the Siraat<\/em> (Bridge),\u201d as the main foundation and then listed the many narrations to follow as support and elucidation.<\/p>\n

      Ibn Bashkuwaal\u2019s booklet on \u2018salaat was salaam<\/em>\u2019 was published in 1420\/1999 by Darul Kutub Ilmiyah<\/em>. After reading through the entire booklet which comprises of 126 narrations in 106 pages, excluding the contents and editor\u2019s introduction, we did not locate this famous narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 in it. Other scholars have also read the booklet and concluded that this narration is not in this copy of the book.<\/p>\n

      Yes, the statement of Sahl ibn Abdullah is present in the book. However, he does not ascribe it to the Messenger of Allah \ufdfa. Even if he had, then it would still be extremely weak due to the fact that many links would be missing between him and the Messenger \ufdfa, as he was born around the year 200 AH. This is if he is the great ascetic. On the other hand, our teacher, Shaikh Talha Bilal Manyar said, \u201cSahl ibn Abdullah is not a Sahabi. He is a shaikh<\/em> in the chain of narration and I was unable to recognize him. He could be Sahl ibn Abdillah ibn Buraidah ibnul Haseeb Al-Aslami Al-Marwazi, who is munkarul hadith<\/em>. [Al-Mughni Vol.1 Pg.115] He could also be Sahl ibn Abdillah Al-Ghazi Al-Asbahani, who is a later narrator from the people of the fifth century Hijri. [Tarikh Dimashq Vol.10 Pg.130]\u201d Regardless of who he is, the hadith would still remain extremely weak.<\/p>\n

      Sahl\u2019s statement is also slightly different from the famous narration ascribed to Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647. Below is a scan of Sahl\u2019s statement from Ibn Bashkuwaal\u2019s book:<\/p>\n

      \u201cOur Shaik Abul Qasim said, we narrate from Sahl ibn Abdullah that he said, \u201cWhoever says on the day of Jumuah after the Asr prayer, \u2018[\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u0650\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0648\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0622\u0644\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651\u0645\u0652] eighty (80) times, his sins of eighty (80) years will be forgiven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

      N.B. The modern editor and publisher only relied on one manuscript. Therefore, there is a high possibility that it is present in another manuscript. Further to this, the manuscript which was relied on had issues. On the cover of the manuscript the scribe wrote:<\/p>\n

      \u201cIt was found in the original (manuscript) from which this one was copied these exact words: \u2018I saw in the original (manuscript), with which I compared this, the following:<\/p>\n

      \u201cEverything that has \u0635 upon it, then it is my narration from Abu Abdillah ibn Saalih Al-Khatib. And whatever has a \u0633 \u0635 on it, then it is what fell off from him. Whatever has \u0635 \u062d on it, is what was established by him in another (copy).\u201d<\/p>\n

      I copied this from the words of its scribe Abu Abdillah Muhammad ibn Rashid.\u201d<\/p>\n

      From this, it is clear that the original manuscript was incomplete. The scribe filled in missing parts from another copy. This shows that some copies are incomplete. So, there is a possibility that the famous narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 was present in Allamah Sakhawi\u2019s copy of Ibn Bashkuwaal\u2019s book.<\/p>\n

      Ibn Bashkuwaal was also a prolific writer, so there is also the possibility that Sakhawi copied the famous narration from another book of Ibn Bashkuwaal.<\/p>\n

      Some may say that there is also the possibility that Allamah Sakhawi had a slip of the pen. However, this is far-fetched for the following reasons:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Sakhawi indicates to the famous narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 a second time when he mentioned the statement of Sahl. He says, \u201cIts meaning was recently mentioned in the hadith<\/em> of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647.\u201d<\/li>\n
      2. If the only difference between the statement of Sahl and the famous narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 [Hadith B] was the word \u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0645\u064b\u0627, then the claim of an error may have been stronger. However, the two huge differences, namely of \u2018restriction of before he stands\u2019 and \u2018rewards of eighty years worship\u2019 clearly points to the existence of this narration.<\/li>\n
      3. Allamah Sakhawi is a giant in the field of hadith<\/em>. He, like his teacher Ibn Hajr was very cautious in what he penned. We are saying we have not seen it in our copy of Ibn Bashkuwal but he is saying he has seen it in his copy. The above issues with the manuscript lends credence to his claim.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Nevertheless, as far as we are concern, we have not yet seen the chain for the famous narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 [Hadith B]. And Allah knows best.<\/p>\n

        So can we practice on the hadith<\/em> of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 [Hadith B] or not? We will discuss this in the conclusion of this article, in sha Allah.<\/p>\n


        \nAllamah Muhammad ibn Abdur Rahman Sakhaawi said in<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u201c\u0627\u0644\u0642\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u062f\u064a\u0639 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0628\u064a\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0641\u064a\u0639 \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n

        [C] It is also narrated from Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 and he elevated it (to the Messenger \ufdfa) \u2013 but I did not find any basis for it,<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u201cAllah made Ibrahim his Khalil<\/em>, Musa his Naji<\/em>, and he made me his Habib<\/em>, then he said, \u2018By my Honour and Grandeur, I will prefer my Habib <\/em>over my Khalil<\/em> and Naji<\/em>.\u2019 So, whoever sends salaat<\/em> on me eighty (80) times on the night of Jumuah<\/em>, two hundred (200) of his past sins and two hundred (200) years of his future sins will be forgiven.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

        I feel it is not authentic. And Allah, alone, grants tawfiq<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Explanation:<\/u><\/strong>
        \nBy Hafidh Sakhawi\u2019s two statements \u201cbut I did not find any basis for it\u201d and \u201cI feel it is not authentic\u201d, it is clear that he is saying that it is most likely extremely weak, if not fabricated. And Allah knows best.

        [D] \u201cA narration which is elevated to the Messenger \ufdfa is found by Daarqutni with the words:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u201cWhosoever sends salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Jumuah<\/em> eighty (80) times, Allah will forgive eighty (80) years (\u0633\u0646\u0629) of his sins.\u201d It was said, O Messenger of Allah, what is the method of the Salaat<\/em> upon you? He replied, \u201cYou should say (\u062a\u0642\u0648\u0644): [\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064d \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651] and count that as one (with your finger).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

        Iraqi and before him, Abu Abdillah ibn Nu\u2019maan classified it sound (hasan<\/em>). However, it needs to be researched. A similar wording from the hadith<\/em> of Anas \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 was previously mentioned.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

        Explanation:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

        It seems that Hafidh Sakhawi\u2019s reference for this narration is Iraqi\u2019s \u2018Al-Mughni\u2019 which is a takhreej<\/em> (referencing and grading) of Imam Ghazali\u2019s \u2018Ihyaul Uloom\u2019<\/em>. This is because after quoting it he says, it needs further research. Imam Ghazali quotes this hadith in the following manner.<\/p>\n

        \u201cIt is desirable to send salutations in abundance upon the Messenger of Allah \ufdfa on this day. Because he said, \u201cWhosoever sends salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Jumuah<\/em> eighty (80) times, Allah will forgive eighty (80) years of his sins.\u201d It was said, \u2018O Messenger of Allah, what is the method of the Salaat<\/em> upon you?\u2019 He replied, \u201cYou should say: [\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064d \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651] and count that as one (with your finger).\u201d [Ihyaaul Uloom<\/em> Vol.2 Pg.336]<\/p>\n

        Ghazali, as usual, did not mention the Sahabi<\/em> who transmitted it nor the muhaddith<\/em> who collected it. In referencing it, Iraqi says,<\/p>\n

        \u201cThe hadith \u201cWhosoever sends salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Jumuah<\/em> eighty (80) times \u2026\u201d Daruqutni from the narration of Ibnul Musaiyyib, he said, \u2018I feel it is transmitted through Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647.\u2019 He (Daarqutni) said, \u2018It is a gharib hadith<\/em>.\u2019 Ibnul Nu\u2019maan said, \u2018It is a sound hadith.\u2019\u201d [Al-Mughni<\/em> with Ihyaaul Uloom<\/em> Vol.2 Pg.336]<\/p>\n

        After quoting the hadith<\/em>, Hafidh <\/em>Sakhawi said, \u201cHowever, it needs to be researched. A similar wording from the hadith<\/em> of Anas \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 was previously mentioned.\u201d<\/p>\n

        What Sakhawi is indicating to is that a hadith<\/em>, with exactly the same words, is narrated from Anas \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 and collected by Al-Khatib Baghdadi and Ibnul Jawzi. The chain of that hadith is extremely weak according to Ibnul Jawzi and Zahabi. Hafidh Sakhawi had already mentioned this narration a few pages (Pg.396-7) before. It is as follows:<\/p>\n

        [E] \u201c<\/span>Anas narrates from the Nabi<\/em> \ufdfa that he said, \u201cWhosoever sends salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Jumuah<\/em> eighty (80) times, Allah will forgive eighty (80) years (\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0627) of his sins.\u201d It was said, O Messenger of Allah, what is the method of the Salaat<\/em> upon you? He replied, \u201cSay (\u0642\u0648\u0644\u0648\u0627): [\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064d \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651] and count that as one (with your finger).\u201d Collected by Al-Khatib and Ibnul Jawzi mentioned it in \u2018Al-Ahadith Waahiyah<\/em>\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

        Zahabi mentioned it in the biography of Wahab ibn Dawud Al-Mukharrami in \u2018Al-Mizaan<\/em>\u2019. He said, \u201cWahab: Ismail \u2013and he is Ibn U\u2019laiyyah narrated to us that Abdul Aziz ibn Suhaib narrated to us from Anas \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 from the Nabi<\/em> \ufdfa that he said, \u201cWhosoever sends salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Jumuah<\/em> eighty (80) times, eighty years of his sins will be forgiven.\u201d<\/span> End quote of Hafidh Sakhawi.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Khatib Baghdadi wrote in \u201cTarikh Baghdaad<\/em>\u201d [Vol.15 Pg.636-7]:<\/p>\n

        \u201cWahab ibn Dawud ibn Sulaiman, Abul Qasim Al-Mukharrimi. He narrated from Ismail ibn U\u2019liayah. Muhammad ibn Jafar Al-Matiri narrated from him. He was blind and he was not reliable.\u201d Thereafter Khatib transmitted the above hadith<\/em> with his chain.<\/p>\n

        Ibnul Jawzi collected the narration of Anas \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 in his \u2018Elalul Mutanaahiyah<\/em>\u2019 [#796] then he said, \u201cThis hadith<\/em> is not authentic. Abu Bakr Al-Khatib said, \u201cWahab ibn Dawud is not reliable.\u201d Ibnul Jawzi compiled this book, \u2018Elalul Mutanaahiyah<\/em>\u2019 to quote extremely weak narrations, as he mentioned in his introduction. Therefore, this hadith is extremely weak according to him.<\/p>\n

        Allamah Zahabi went a step further and classified this narration of Anas \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 a fabrication. When speaking about Wahab ibn Dawud ibn Sulaiman Ad-Dharir Al-Mukharrimi in \u2018Al-Mughni<\/em>\u2019, Zahabi quotes Khatib as saying \u2018He was not reliable.\u2019 Then Zahabi states, \u201cThereafter he (Khatib) mentions a hadith <\/em>of his (Dawud) which was fabricated<\/strong> by him (Dawud).\u201d Khatib had only cited this narration of Anas \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647.<\/p>\n

        The wordings of this narration of Khatib and Ibnul Jawzi is the same as the one Iraqi referenced from \u2018Ihyaa<\/em>\u2019. The differences are in the following table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

        There are two possibilities when Iraqi was referencing the hadith of Al-Ihyaa<\/em>, \u201cWhosoever sends salaat <\/em>upon me on the day of Jumuah<\/em> eighty (80) times, Allah will forgive eighty (80) years of his sins.\u201d It was said, O Messenger of Allah, what is the method of the Salaat<\/em> upon you?

          \n
        1. He did so bil-ma\u2019naa<\/em> (by meaning). This means, he was actually quoting \u2018Hadith A\u2019 in the above table as the reference because they have a similar meaning, even though many words are different.<\/li>\n
        2. He actually found the words of the hadith <\/em>in Al-Ihyaa<\/em> in a book of Daarqutni, through Ibnul Musaiyyib through Abu Hurairah, with a chain strong enough to be graded sound (hasan<\/em>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If the former is the case, then we know the chain of this hadith<\/em> of Daarqutni in Al-Afraad<\/em> has four weak narrators in it, as pointed out by Ibn Hajr. Therefore, grading it sound (hasan<\/em>) would not be correct. It would also mean that the words quoted in \u2018Al-Ihyaa\u2019<\/em> only has the chain listed by Khatib and Ibul Jawzi (Hadith E), which is also extremely weak or fabricated. Therefore, these words cannot be graded sound (hasan<\/em>) either.<\/p>\n

          If it is the latter case, then we would have to see its chain to verify if Ibn Nu\u2019maan\u2019s classification of hasan<\/em> (sound) is correct.<\/p>\n

          This is why, Allamah<\/em> Sakhawi said, Iraqi\u2019s referencing and grading needs further research. And Allah knows best.<\/p>\n

            Imam Shafi\u2019ee collected this hadith, however his chain is mursal<\/em>. A mursal hadith<\/em> is one where a Tabi\u2019ee <\/em>ascribes a statement or action to the Messenger \ufdfa. Since there is a break in the link, the muhaddithun<\/em> grade it as weak. However, great scholars including Abu Hanifah, Malik, Ahmed and Abu Dawud consider the mursal hadith<\/em> as an authentic source. Imam Shafi\u2019ee and other muhaddithun <\/em>also use the mursal hadith<\/em> when it is supported. There are many other narrations which substantiates the istihbaab<\/em> (desirability) of sending abundant salawaat <\/em>to the Messenger \ufdfa on Fridays. One authentic narration will be mentioned in the conclusion, in sha Allah<\/em>. By that narration this one will become sound.<\/p>\n

            Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            This is where Sakhawi mentions the statement of Sahl ibn Abdullah. After it, he reminds us that a narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 [Hadith B] with a similar meaning was mentioned above. This is the famous narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 which is under discussion.<\/p>\n

            [I] It is narrated from Anas \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 and he elevated it to the Messenger \ufdfa:<\/span><\/p>\n

            \u201cHe who sends one salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Jumuah,<\/em> Allah and the Angels will send a hundred thousand (100,000) salaat<\/em> upon him, and will write for him a hundred thousand (100,000) rewards, and will remove a hundred thousand (100,000) sins from him, and will elevate him a hundred thousand (100,000) stages in Jannah<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

            I did not find its basis. I feel it is not authentic. Rather I am sure it is fabricated.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Allamah Sakhawi clearly states that this is a fabrication. Here we see that he firstly used the same words he used for the narration which mentioned: \u201cAllah made Ibrahim his Khalil\u2026\u201d [Hadith C] This is why we concluded that Sakhawi is saying that if it is not fabrication, then it is extremely weak.<\/p>\n

            Can one practice on the famous hadith<\/em> of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 [Hadith B], which Sakhawi ascribed to Ibn Bashkuwaal?<\/p>\n

            80 times after Asr salat on Friday?<\/p>\n

            Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Based on the information presented above, scholars may view the issue differently:<\/p>\n

            Some scholars would state, we do not know the chain of narration so we are unable to classify it. The hadith of Abu Hurairah, collected by Darqutni in \u2018Al-Afraad\u2019<\/em> [Hadith A], has four extremely weak narrators and the hadith of Anas, collected by Khatib [Hadith E], is extremely weak or even fabricated. Therefore, it is not permissible to act on this hadith in any manner.<\/p>\n

            Some would say, use the narration which Ibnun Nu\u2019maan graded as sound (hasan<\/em>) [Hadith D], instead of the famous narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 [Hadith B].<\/p>\n

            A third angle would be to view the issue within the scope of practices permitted, encouraged or emphasized in Shariah. That is to say that the hadith is encouraging to send salaat was salaam<\/em> (durood<\/em>) in abundance to the Nabi \u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645 on a Friday. This is already an established e\u2019badah<\/em>. One may recite any number of durood<\/em>, using any wording of durood<\/em> at any time on Friday. A person may fix a specific amount he wishes to recite, stipulate the time he wants to read it and choose a particular wording. Or he may use the Hadith [A] as a guide in this matter. An analysis of the words of the hadith will reveal what virtues, restrictions and wording it uses. We will pinpoint which aspects may be used as a guide and which aspects one should be cautious about.<\/p>\n

            \u201cThe one who performs the Asr <\/em>prayer on the day of Jumuah<\/em>, and then says before he stands from his place, \u2018[\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u0650\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0648\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0622\u0644\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651\u0645\u0652 \u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0645\u064b\u0627] eighty (80) times, his sins of eighty (80) years will be forgiven, and eighty (80) years of worship will be written for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

            There are seven (7) points in this hadith:<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Recite on Friday<\/li>\n
            2. Recite after Asr<\/em> (on Friday)<\/li>\n

            6. Eighty years of sins forgiven<\/li>\n
            7. Eighty years of rewards written.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Let us see which one of these points are supported by other narrations.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Recite on Friday:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                  \n
                • It is established in many narrations that it is Sunnah<\/em> to recite abundant salaat was salaam <\/em>(durood<\/em>) on Fridays. Here we will suffice on one narration. Aws ibn Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that Rasulullah<\/em> (peace and blessings be upon him) said: \u201cOf your best days is Friday. On it, Adam was created; and on it his (soul) was taken; and on it is the blowing (of the Trumpet); and on it is the Swoon. Therefore, increase in sending your Salaat<\/em> upon me, for your Salaat<\/em> upon me are presented to me.\u201d<\/li>\n
                • Collected by Abu Dawud in his \u2018Sunan<\/em>\u2019 [#1047] and Ibn Hibban in his \u2018Sahih<\/em>\u2019 [#910]<\/li>\n
                • Therefore, this part of the hadith is supported.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                    \n
                  1. Recite after Asr<\/em> (on Friday)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                      \n
                    • Even though there is no other specific authentic narration, in our knowledge, which states to send durood<\/em> after Asr<\/em> on a Friday, it is still virtuous to utilize this time in durood<\/em> based on the following general nusoos <\/em>(divine text).<\/li>\n
                    • There are many verses of the Quran Majid which command us to remember Allah Ta\u2019ala at this time. We will suffice on one verse. Allah Ta\u2019ala says, \u201cGlorify the praises of your Rabb in the evening and morning.\u201d {Surah Ghaafir :55}\n
                        \n
                      • Ibnul Qaiyyim Al-Jawziyah has explained that sending salutations on the Nabi<\/em> \ufdfa also comes under the remembrance of Allah Ta\u2019ala in his book on durood<\/em>, \u2018Jilaa-ul Afhaam<\/em>\u2019 [Pg.368].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                      • There is a sound hadith<\/em> which encourages us to send salutation on the Messenger \ufdfa in the mornings and evenings. Abu Dardaa \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 relates that Messenger of Allah \ufdfa said, \u201cWhoever sends salaat<\/em> on me in the morning ten times and in the evening ten times, he will acquire my intercession on the Day of Qiyamah<\/em>.\u201d\n
                          \n
                        • Collected by Tabarani. Hafidh<\/em> Haithami states, \u201cThe narrators of one of its chains are good.\u201d [Majmauz Zawaaid<\/em>10 Pg.120]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                        • Allah\u2019s Messenger (\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645) talked about Friday and said, \u201cThere is an opportune time on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah, then Allah will definitely meet his demand.\u201d And he (the Prophet) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands. [Bukhari #935]\n
                            \n
                          • The most famous opinion is that this special time is after Asr<\/em> till Sunset and many scholars adopted this view. [See Fathul Baari <\/em>3 Pg. 218-228]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                          • Salaat was Salaam<\/em> can also be used as a substitute of dua<\/em> at this time. Ubayy said: \u201cI said: \u2018O Messenger of Allah! Indeed, I say very much Salaat <\/em>(durood<\/em>) for you. How much of my Salaat <\/em>(durood<\/em>) should I make for you?’ He said: \u2018As you wish.\u2019 [He said:] \u2018I said: \u2018A fourth?\u2019 He said: \u2018As you wish. But if you add more it would be better for you.\u2019 I said, \u2018Then half?\u2019 He said: \u2018As you wish. And if you add more it would be better [for you].\u2019\u201d [He said:] \u201cI said: \u2018Then two-thirds?\u2019 He said: \u2018As you wish, but if you add more it would be better for you.\u2019\u201d I said: \u201cShould I make all of my Salaat <\/em>(durood<\/em>) for you?\u2019 He said: \u2018Then your problems would be solved and your sins would be forgiven.\u2019\u201d\n
                              \n
                            • Collected by Tirmidhi [#2457] and he said it is sound authentic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                                \n
                              1. Recite before one stands:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                  \n
                                • We have not found any narration with this restriction. Therefore, one may stand up and recite it while they are walking or after they have attended another task. The opportunity to recite durood<\/em> after Asr<\/em> on a Friday will not be considered missed. And Allah knows best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                                    \n

                                      \n
                                    • As for the number 80, then since we do not know the chain of Hadith [B] and its status, it would not be correct to believe that this number carries any significance based on this narration.<\/li>\n
                                    • However, there are two other narrations which mention this number. One is general without any specific wording of the Durood <\/em>mentioned, while the other has another wording of a Durood<\/em> They are:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                                        \n
                                      1. Hadith [A]: \u201cSalaat<\/em> (Salutations\/Durood<\/em>) upon me is a light on the Siraat <\/em>(Bridge). The one who sends salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Friday eighty (80) times, his sins of eighty (80) years will be forgiven.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                          \n
                                        • Hafidh<\/em> Suyuti gave this narration a place in his \u2018Jame\u2019us Sagheer\u2019<\/em>. Hafidh<\/em> Sakhawi graded this narration weak, while, Hafidh<\/em> Ibn Hajr classified it extremely weak, as discussed above.<\/li>\n
                                        • If one was to take the opinion of those who consider it weak, but strong enough to mention as a virtue, then it would be correct to hope for significance in the number 80. Since this hadith is general, it would apply to any wording of durood<\/em>.<\/li>\n
                                        • On the other hand, if the opinion of it being extremely weak was taken, then belief in the significance of the number 80 would be incorrect. And Allah knows best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                                            \n
                                          1. Hadith [D] \u201cThe one who sends salaat<\/em> upon me on the day of Jumuah<\/em> eighty (80) times, eighty (80) years of his sins will be forgiven.\u201d It was said, O Messenger of Allah, what is the method of the Salaat<\/em> upon you? He replied, \u201cSay: [\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064d \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651] and count that as one.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                            • As discussed above, Abu Abdillah ibn Nu\u2019maan classified this narration as sound. However, Sakhawi said, it needs more scrutiny. A similar narration [Hadith E] was classified extremely weak by Ibnul Jawzi and a fabrication by Zahabi.<\/li>\n
                                            • There was also the issue of whether Ibn Nu\u2019maan\u2019s classification was on this hadith<\/em> or was it for Hadith [A]?<\/li>\n
                                            • If one takes the opinion that Ibn Nu\u2019maan\u2019s classification was for Hadith [D], then it would be correct to believe that there is a significance in reciting these words of durood <\/em>80 times.<\/li>\n
                                            • However, if Ibn Nu\u2019maan\u2019s classification was not for this hadith<\/em> and\/or one takes the opinion of Ibnul Jawzi and Zahabi, then it would be incorrect to believe in the significance in the number 80. There is more caution in this stance. And Allah knows best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                              N.B.<\/strong> Nonetheless, 80 is a large number. Therefore, reciting any durood<\/em> in that amount will come under the authentically encouraged abundance of durood<\/em> for Fridays.<\/p>\n

                                                • Therefore, one can use the words [\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u0650\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0648\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0622\u0644\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651\u0645\u0652 \u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0645\u064b\u0627] which are quoted in the famous narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 [Hadith B].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                                    • This is an issue of belief. The principle is that firm belief in a particular virtue for a particular action must be substantiated by authentic or sound narrations. If the narration is slightly weak then we can still hope for the virtue. However, if it is extremely weak, then to believe in the virtue mentioned, would not be correct.<\/li>\n

He replied, \u201cSay: [\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064d \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651] and count that as one.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                            • As discussed above, Abu Abdillah ibn Nu\u2019maan classified this narration as sound. However, Sakhawi said, it needs more scrutiny. A similar narration [Hadith E] was classified extremely weak by Ibnul Jawzi and a fabrication by Zahabi.<\/li>\n
                                                            • There was also the issue of if Ibn Nu\u2019maan\u2019s classification was on this hadith<\/em> or was it for Hadith [A]?<\/li>\n
                                                            • If one takes the opinion that Ibn Nu\u2019maan\u2019s classification was for Hadith [D], then it would be correct to believe that one will reap the virtue mentioned in the hadith<\/em> if one recited those words 80 times.<\/li>\n
                                                            • However, if Ibn Nu\u2019maan\u2019s classification was not for this hadith<\/em> and\/or one takes the opinion of Ibnul Jawzi and Zahabi, then it would be incorrect to believe in the virtue of eighty years of sins being forgiven as mentioned in narration [D] and [E]. There is more caution in this stance. And Allah knows best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                                                                \n

                                                                • We have not found this virtue in any other narration. Therefore, it would be incorrect to believe that one will gain rewards of eighty years, based on this narration alone. And Allah knows best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n


                                                                  \nSUMMARY:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                                                                  2. There is absolutely no harm in using the words of the famous narration of Abu Hurairah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647, [\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u0650\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0648\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0622\u0644\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651\u0645\u0652 \u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0645\u064b\u0627], nor is there any harm in reciting it 80 times, nor is there any harm in reciting it after Asr <\/em>on Fridays.<\/li>\n
                                                                  3. However, to consider the combination of this exact amount, exact words and exact time to be an established Sunnah<\/em> in and of itself, will need an established hadith<\/em>. We are unaware of any. And Allah knows best.<\/li>\n
                                                                  4. One may also use the words [\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064d \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651] or any other words.<\/li>\n
                                                                  5. If one considers the classification of Ibn Nu\u2019maan to be correct, then it would be permissible to hope that eighty years of sins are forgiven, when reciting the durood<\/em> eighty times with the words [\u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064d \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651]. This is if his classification was on this particular narration. If Ibn Nu\u2019man\u2019s classification was for Hadith [A], then one could hope for this virtue by reading any words of durood <\/em>eighty times. On the other hand, if the classification of Ibn Hajr, Ibnul Jawzi and Zahabi is taken to be accurate, then it would be incorrect to believe that eighty years of sins are forgiven by reciting this or any other durood <\/em>80 times on a Friday. There is more caution in this second stance as far as belief in this particular virtue is concerned. And Allah knows best.<\/li>\n
                                                                  6. To hope for eighty years of rewards<\/u> by reciting the wordings mentioned in hadith [B] is not correct since we are unaware of its chain and no one has classified it to be sound or authentic.<\/li>\n
                                                                  7. The virtues which are established for general durood<\/em> is mentioned in the following hadith. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: \u201cWhoever sends salaah (durood<\/em>) upon me once, Allah Ta\u2019aala will send salaah <\/em>upon him tenfold, and will erase ten sins from him, and will raise him ten degrees in status.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                                                      \n
                                                                    • Collected by Nasai in his \u2018Sunan\u2019 [#1298], Ibn Hibban in his \u2018Sahih\u2019 [#2390] and Hakim in \u2018Mustadrak\u2019 [Vol.1 Pg.550]. He classified it authentic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                                                      N.B.<\/strong> If one is in the habit of reciting the wordings of the famous narration [Hadith B] of Abu Hurairah 80 times after Asr<\/em> on a Friday, then continue to do such<\/strong>. One should simply change their intention<\/strong> for this recital.<\/p>\n

                                                                      The correct intention is that we were encouraged to recite the durood<\/em> abundantly on Fridays in authentic narrations and there are many rewards for reciting durood<\/em> mentioned in authentic hadiths<\/em>. It is also a right of our beloved Nabi \ufdfa upon us to send abundant durood<\/em> upon him. This is why we are reciting these words in this number. We can add 20 more and make it 100, if we so wish. And Allah Ta\u2019ala knows best and He, Alone, grants tawfeeq<\/em> and divine ability.<\/p>\n

                                                                      May Allah make us from amongst those who reap the rewards of the following hadith:<\/p>\n

                                                                      “The person closest to me on the Day of Judgement is the one who sent the most Salaat (Durood<\/em>) upon me.”<\/p>\n

                                                                        \n
                                                                      • Collected by Tirmidhi [#484] and he said Hasan Gharib<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                                                        N.B. Some students of knowledge have made a bold claim that only after Hazrat Shaikh did the practice of reciting the wordings of the famous narration of Abu Huriarah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647 came into being. Such claims need a thorough research of all the books of history which is not an easy task. Rather, the Mufti of Damascus, Muhammad Khalil Aafandi has mentioned in the biography of Shaikh Ahmed ibn Ibrahim Al-Jibali (d.1147AH), who was a great spiritual mentor in the way of the Sunnah, that he used to prescribe for his disciples to recite durood<\/em> 80 times after the Asr<\/em> prayers on Fridays in the words \u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0651 \u0635\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0651 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0633\u064e\u064a\u0650\u0651\u062f\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064d \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0643\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0651\u0628\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064f\u0645\u0650\u0651\u064a\u0650\u0651 \u0648\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0650\u0647 \u0648\u064e\u0635\u064e\u062d\u0652\u0628\u0650\u0647 \u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0644\u064b\u0651\u0645\u064e. [Silkud Durar<\/em> Vol.1 Pg.80] Therefore, it is possible that others used the famous wordings of the narration of Abu Huriarah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647.<\/p>\n
