اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِرَجُلٍ : " كَيْفَ تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ؟ قَالَ : أَتَشَهَّدُ ، وَأَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ ، أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أُحْسِنُ دَنْدَنَتَكَ وَلَا دَنْدَنَةَ مُعَاذٍ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : حَوْلَهَا نُدَنْدِنُ " .
Narrated Some Companions of the Prophet: Abu Salih reported on the authority of some Companions of the Prophet ﷺ: The Prophet ﷺ said to a person: what do you say in prayer? He replied: I first recite tashahhud (supplication recited in sitting position), and then I say: O Allah, I ask Thee for Paradise, and I seek refuge in Thee from Hell-Fire, but I do not understand your sound and the sound of Muadh (what you say or he says in prayer). The Prophet ﷺ said: We too go around it (paradise and Hell-fire).
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
792. Commentary:
➊ This Companion used to perform brief prayers and supplications, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam affirmed and approved of this. And Allah does not burden anyone beyond his capacity.
➋ The meaning of the word in the hadith «دَنْدَنَةَ» is that the humming of the voice should be perceptible, but the words should not be clear.
➌ Khatib al-Baghdadi has written that the name of the Companion radi Allahu anhu from whom the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam inquired about this was "Sulaym Ansari." [منذري]
