Tarawih

Tarawih  There has been a lot of confusion about how many Rakahs does Salaat ut-Tarawih has. The Muslims should be well aware that from the time of Sahaba, the Muslims have been performing at least twenty rakat of Tarawih (including inside Haramayn Shareefayn where Muslims till today are continuing this). This has been the practice of majority of Sunni Muslims from the times of the Sahaba (Allah be pleased with them), the Tabi'een and the Ulama (Allah have mercy upon them) until a new Wahabi sect came into existence which shattered the Muslim unity on this issue. All they have is a singular hadith regarding "TAHAJJUD" which they misapply on Tarawih and thus misguide innocent Muslims. So let us see this in light of abundant proofs that Tarawih consists of 20 Rakahs. Before the overwhelming proofs on Rakahs of Tarawih are shown, we would like to show this rigorously authentic hadith which elaborates the meaning of word "SUNNAH" in Islamic Shariah. Some people from minority section after being refuted on rakahs of tarawih are left with no option but to say that Practise of Umar (ra) and other Sahaba is one thing whereas practice of Prophet (Peace be upon him) is another i.e. in simple words they accuse the sahaba of contradicting with what the Prophet had done (Naudhobillah) But to their surprise, the Holy Prophet (May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him) said: Hold firmly onto my sunnah "And the Sunnah of Khulafa ar-Rashideen (the four rightly-guided caliphs)"(Narrated in Sunnan Abu Dawood, Volume No. 2, Page No. 635.

[Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaibah, Volume 002, Hadith Number 7692] This hadith in spite of being weak in chain has Talaqi bil Qubool due to other Mawquf narrations and amal of scholars from 4 schools of thought.   حديث أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى بالناس عشرين ركعة ليلتين فلما كان في الليلة الثالثة اجتمع الناس فلم يخرج إليهم ثم قال من الغد خشيت أن تفرض عليكم  On the authority of Aisha (R.A)] the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) performed “twenty raka’at on 2 nights with people but he did not come out on the 3rd night and said that I am afraid that it might become obligatory upon you (Sahaba) [Ibn Hajr, al-Talkhees al-Habeer, Volume 002, Hadith Number 540]  Note: After this hadith Imam Ibn Hajr al Asqalani (rah) said:  متفق على صحته من حديث عائشة دون عدد الركعات  Translation: "All the traditionalists (Muhaddithin) are unanimous about the soundness of this report from Ayesha (ra), but without the number of Rakahs.  The Ahlul Bidah exclaim with joy saying: Look Imam Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani (rah) accepted the hadith to be Sahih but only without the number of Rakahs, therefore the number of Rakahs in Tarawih are not established.  Answer: First of all this saying of Imam Ibn Hajr (rah) goes against them not us because we have overwhelming other proofs which establish 20 Rakahs however they have only 2 proofs from which they hypocrtically claim that Tarawih consists of 8 Rakahs  Their primary proof is the hadith in Sahih Bukhari which states:  Volume 2, Book 21, Number 248:  (Sahih Bukhari - Book of Tahajjud)  Narrated Abu Salma bin 'Abdur Rahman: I asked 'Aisha, "How is the prayer of Allah's Apostle during the month of Ramadan." She said, "Allah's Apostle never exceeded eleven Rakat in Ramadan or in other months; he used to offer four Rakat-- do not ask me about their beauty and length, then four Rakat, do not ask me about their beauty and length, and then three Rakat." Aisha further said, "I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Do you sleep before offering the Witr prayer?' He replied, 'O 'Aisha! My eyes sleep but my heart remains awake'!"Even a layman can see that Aisha (ra) is talking about Tahajjud because she said "OR IN OTHER MONTHS" whereas Salaat ut-Tarawih is only the prayer of Ramadan. Although we can go in length about this issue and decisively prove that the above hadith specifically refers to Tahhajud and not Tarawih, but we would like to concentrate on another point. This hadith also comes under the verdict of Imam Ibn Hajr al Asqalani (rah) i.e.  "All the traditionalists (Muhaddithin) are unanimous about the soundness of this report from Ayesha (ra), but without the number of Rakahs.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let us see the proofs from Sahihayn (i.e. Bukhari and Muslim)</div>   <a name="BM002_021_261" title="BM002_021_261"></a>Volume 2, Book 21, Number 261: (Sahih Bukhari)  Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle used to offer thirteen Rakat in the night prayer and on hearing the Adhan for the morning prayer, he used to offer two light Rakat.This hadith proves Tahajjud to be atleast 10-12 Rakahs (without witr) whereas these people consider 8 Rakahs to be Sunnah of Prophet (Peace be upon him).. This is why Imam Ibn Hajr (rah) has also declared the hadith of 20 Rakahs from Sayyida Aisha as "SAHIH" but without the number of Rakahs.  <a name="002.021.240" title="002.021.240"></a>Volume 2, Book 21, Number 240: (Sahih Bukhari)  Narrated Masruq: I asked Aisha about the night prayer of Allah's Apostle and she said, "It was seven, nine or eleven Rakat besides the two Rakat of the Fajr prayer (i.e. Sunna). "This also proves "IDHTIRAB" in the hadith of Aisha (ra) and Tarawih could never be considered as 8 Rakahs because there is consensus on it being 20.  <a name="004.1611" title="004.1611"></a>Book 004, Number 1611: (Sahih Muslim) It is reported on the authority of 'A'isha that the prayer of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) in the night consisted of ten rak'ahs. He observed a Witr and two rak'ahs (of Sunan) of the dawn prayer, and thus the total comes to thirteen rak'ahs.   <a name="004.1686" title="004.1686"></a>Book 004, Number 1686: (Sahih Muslim)   Abu Jamra reported: I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed thirteen rak'ahs at night.  <a name="004.1687" title="004.1687"></a>Book 004, Number 1687: (Sahih Muslim)  Zaid b Khalid al-Juhani said: I would definitely watch at night the prayer observed by the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). He prayed two short rak'ahs, then two long, long, long rak'ahs, then he prayed two rak'ahs which were shorter than the two preceding rak'ahs, then he prayed two rak'ahs which were shorter than the two preceding, then he prayed two rak'ahs which were shorter than the two preceding, then observed a single one (Witr), making a total of thirteen rak'ahs   Now coming to the Proofs 8 & 9 which we have shown above i.e. the hadith from Ibn Abbas (ra) establishing 20 Rakahs directly from the Prophet (Peace be upon him), however both the ahadith have a narrator called Abu Shaybah (i.e. grandfather of mighty Muhadith Ibn Abi Shaybah) who has difference of opinion over his reliability, most of the muhaditheen have considered him "WEAK" ... Now these people again jump with joy saying that Abu Shaybah is weak therefore 20 Rakahs is not established from Prophet (Peace be upon him). However we mentioned above that It has Talaqi bil Qubool due to other Mawquf narrations and amal of scholars from 4 schools of thought. In reply Salafis present this weak hadith themselves.   Jabir Bin ‘Abdillah (ra) reported:“Allah’s Messenger (saw) led us (one night) during Ramadhan, praying Eight Rakaah and Witr. On the following night, we gathered in the Masjid hoping that he will come out again (to lead the prayer). We stayed there until the morning. Then we entered (to the centre of the Masjid) and said, `O Messenger of Allah” Last night we gathered in the Masjid hoping that you would lead us in prayer.’ To which he replied `Indeed I feared that it would become an obligation on you’” [Ibn Khuzaimah (2/138 Hadith #1070),  Mu’ajam as-Sagheer (1/190) of Tabaraanee and others]   Now these are the same people who declare every second hadith as Daeef which does not go in conformity to their agendas, now let us see Jarh on narrators of false hadith from Jabir bin Abdullah (ra) The Hadith “ONLY” comes through the route of “Isa Ibn Jariyah” , Here is what mighty Muhaditheen and masters of al-Jarh wa't Tadeel said on this narrator قال ابن أبـي خيثمة عن ابن معين: ليس بذاك ، لا أعلم أحداً روى عنه غير يعقوب  Yahya Bin Ma'een said: He is "NOTHING" and he does not know whether anyone other than Yaqub (Shia) has narrated from him[Tahdhib ut-Tahdhib (4/518)]<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, "sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt; text-align: justify;">In Tahdhib ul Kamaal of Imam al-Mizzi (rah), the declaration of Imam Abu Dawud (rah) is also there who called him Munkar ul Hadith.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> وقال أبو عُبـيد الآجُري ، عن أبـي داود: منكر الحديث <div style="text-align: justify;">Translation: Abu Ubaid al-Ajri narrates from Abu Dawud that (Isa bin Jariyah) is “MUNKAR UL HADITH” [Tahdhib ul Kamaal, Volume No. 14, Page No. 533]</div> Imam Nasai’i said in his “DU’AFA WAL MATROOKEEN” <div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">عيسى ابن جارية: يروي عنه يعقوب القُمِّي، منكر</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> Translation: Isa bin Jariyah narrated from Yaqub al-Qummi (shia narrator) and he (Isa ibn Jariyah) is “MUNKAR” [Nasai’i in Duafa wal Matrooken (2/215)]  Hence 2 great Imams from Six most authentic books i.e. Imam Abu Dawud (rah) and Imam Nasai'i (rah) declared him "MUNKAR UL HADITH" Here is what other great scholars said of him <div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">قلت: وذكره الساجي، والعقيلي في الضعفاء. وقال ابن عدي: أحاديثه غير محفوظة</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> Translation: Imam al Saaji (rah) and Imam al-Uqayli (rah) mentioned him in their “DUAFA (i.e. weak narrators)” Imam Ibn Adi (rah) said: His ahadith are “NOT MAHFOOZ” [Tahdhib ut Tahdhib (4/518)] Imam Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani (rah) himself said: فيه لين (i.e. he is Lain i.e. inclined towards weakness) [Taqrib ut Tahdhib (1/768)]   Even highest authorities of Salafis such as Albani, Hussain Saleem Asad have declared the hadith itself as "Daeef"  Hussain Saleem Asad in his Tahqiq to Musnad Abu Ya’la said:<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>إسناده ضعيف <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Translation: It’s chain is “WEAK” [Musnad Abu Ya’la, with Tahqeeq of Hussain Saleem Asad (3/336), Published by Dar ul Ma’moon, Dimishq]</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;">Hence The highest authorities in al-Jarh wa't Ta'deel like Yahya bin Ma'een (rah) plus Imam Nasa’i (rah) and Abu Dawud (rah) declared Isa bin Jariyah as Munkar ul Hadith (Rejected in hadith) let alone Da'eef, hence the narration which Salafis show becomes “Mawdo!”</div> A famous subcontinental Salafi scholar Moulana Abdur Rahman Mubarakpuri (1353 A.H.) has written that the ahadîth of a narrator who is known as munkarul hadîth, are worthy of being rejected.(Ibkarul Matn pg.191)  Hence the hadith of Ibn Abbas (ra) and Jabir (ra) are both atleast weak (latter one being forged) so according to Usool of hadith which Imam Abu Dawud clarified the hadith of Ibn Abbas (ra) becomes Muqbool (accepted). Imam Abu Dawud (rah) said after narrating a hadith: <div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">اذا تنازع الخبران عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ينظر بما اخذ به اصحابه</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>Translation: If there seems to be "contradiction" between 2 reports of Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) then we take the practise which is “CONFIRMED BY SAHABA” [Sunnan Abu Dawud under Hadith No. 1577] Hence the hadith of Ibn Abbas (ra) is confirmed as it corresponds to the ahadith from Umar (ra), Ali (ra), Ubay Ibn Ka'b (ra) and many others.   The Wahabis have another hadith from Muwatta Imam Malik which they use to defend their stance, this hadith contradicts overwhelming ahadith regarding Practise of Ubay Ibn Ka'b that he prayed 20 Rakahs. It is states in Muwatta:Book 6, Number 6.2.4: (Muwatta Imam Malik)Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Yusuf that as-Sa'ib ibn Yazid said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab ordered Ubayy ibn Kab and Tamim ad-Dari to watch the night in prayer with the people for eleven rakas.The reciterof the Qur'an would recite the Mi'in (a group of medium-sized suras) until we would be leaning on our staffs from having stood so long in prayer. And we would not leave until the approach of dawn.".This is the second biggest proof which Salafis use. Unfortunately the Salafis can only deceive innocent public who are not well-aware of sciences of al-Jarh wa't Ta'deel & Asma ur Rijaal etc... but the Ahlus Sunnah will teach Salafis some good lessons in these fields. In Muwatta this is the Isnaad<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">‏ ‏محمد بن يوسف ‏ ‏عن ‏ ‏السائب بن يزيد ‏ ‏أنه قال ‏ ‏أمر ‏ ‏عمر بن الخطاب</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Note at: "Muhammad bin Yusuf An Saib Ibn Yazid"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Musannaf Abdur Razzaq the same hadith is present with same chain but it states:</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.5px; text-align: justify;">محمد بن يوسف عن السائب بن يزيد أن عمر جمع الناس في رمضان على أبي بن كعب وعلى تميم الداري على إحدى وعشرين ركعة</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Translation: Narrated by Muhammad bin Yusuf from Saib bin Yazid that Umar (RA) gathered people in Ramadan behind Ubay Ibn Kaab (ra) and Tamim Dari (ra) and he made them lead people in "TWENTY-ONE" Rakahs [Musannaf Abdur Razzaq, Volume No. 4, Page No. 260, Hadith No. 7730]</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hence even the Hadith in Muwatta does not prove 8, rather 20 is decisively proven as proven from above hadith, now the Salafis have no hadith from Khulafa ar Rashideen in regards to 8 Rakah Tarawih, therefore the hadith in Muwatta is proven to be "MUDHTARIB" and cannot be used as proof.
