Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
622. Commentary:
➊ The purpose of the chapter is that if the prayer as a whole is missed—that is, neither the call to prayer (adhan) nor the congregational prayer (jama‘ah) takes place—then the missed prayer should be made up (qada’) with both the adhan and the congregation, just as it is performed in its original time. However, keep in mind that this incident took place in the desert, where, apart from those involved, no one else would hear the adhan. Now, since there are mosques everywhere and mosques have loudspeakers, to call the adhan openly and hold a congregation for a missed prayer would lead to misunderstanding and mockery. Therefore, if such a situation occurs in a populated area, the adhan from other mosques (in the same locality or neighboring localities) will suffice. Yes, if possible, it is better to call the adhan without a loudspeaker and perform the prayer in congregation; otherwise, it can be performed individually by simply saying the takbir. Unless a locality is isolated, having no connection with other localities, and the adhan from there cannot be heard in other areas, then in such a case, this hadith can be acted upon—that is, giving the adhan becomes necessary. And Allah knows best. It is essential to consider the context and circumstances.
➋ The Sunnah prayers of Fajr are emphasized (mu’akkadah); therefore, if they are missed, they should be made up either before or after sunrise. If both the obligatory (fard) and Sunnah prayers are missed, then both should be made up. Similarly, the missed supererogatory (nafl) or Sunnah prayers of other prayers can also be made up after their time, whether they were missed due to sleep or forgetfulness, as is apparent from the ahadith. As for the hadith of Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha in Musnad Ahmad, in which making up missed prayers is prohibited, it is weak in its chain of narration. And Allah knows best. The context and situation must be taken into account.
