“Will Allah punish me
Upon Prayer?!”
It is reported Sa’īd Ibn ul-Musayyib saw
a man praying more than just 2 raka’āt after the dawn of
Fajr (i.e. after Fajr time had started and so nothing other than the 2 Sunnah
of Fajr should be prayed and then Fajr itself), with many bowings (rukoo’) and
many prostrations (i.e. many raka’āt), so he forbade him.)
The man said, “O Abu
Mohammad! Will Allāh punish me upon praying?!”.
Ibn ul-Musayyib said,
“No, but He will punish you upon opposing the Sunnah”.
[reported by
al-Baihaqī with an authentic chain]
Shaikh al-Albanī رحمه الله تعالى
stated: “This is from the magnificent responses of Sa’īd Ibn ul-Musayyib رحمه الله تعالى.
And it is a powerful weapon against the innovators who approve and sanction
many innovations in the name of them being (forms of) “prayer” or “remembrance”;
then they even rebuke ahlus-Sunnah for
refuting them upon it; and they accuse ahlus Sunnah for refuting them upon it,
and they accuse ahlus Sunnah of rejecting “prayer” and “remembrance”!
Rather ahlus Sunnah rebuke their opposition
of the Sunnah in the prayer and remembrance”.
