حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِيَادٍ، عَنْ إِيَادٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا سَجَدْتَ فَضَعْ كَفَّيْكَ وَارْفَعْ مِرْفَقَيْكَ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said. When you prostrate yourself, place the palms of your hands on the ground and raise your elbows.

আবূ গাসসান আল মিসমাঈ, মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু আল মুসান্না ও ইবনু বাশশার (রহঃ) ..... আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত যে, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ইরশাদ করেনঃ প্রত্যেক নবীর কাছে তার উম্মতের ক্ষেত্রে প্রয়োগের জন্য একটি দু'আর অনুমতি আছে। প্রত্যেকে আপন উম্মতের কল্যাণের জন্য তা করেছেন। আর আমি আমার দু'আটি কিয়ামত দিবসে আমার উম্মতের শাফা'আতের জন্য অবশিষ্ট রেখে দিয়েছি।

ہشام نے قتادہ سے روایت کی ، انہوں نے کہا : ہمیں انس بن مالک ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ نےحدیث سنائی کہ اللہ کے نبی ﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’ہر نبی کی ایک ( یقینی مقبول ) دعا ہے جو اس نے اپنی امت کے لیے کی جبکہ میں نے اپنی دعا قیامت کے روز اپنی امت کی سفارش کے لیے محفوظ کر لی ہے ۔ ‘ ‘

Telah menceritakan kepadaku [Abu Ghassan al-Misma'i] dan [Muhammad bin al-Mutsanna] serta [Ibnu Basysyar] telah menceritakan kepada kami, dan lafazh tersebut milik Abu Ghassan, mereka berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mu'adz] -yang mereka maksud adalah Ibnu Hisyam- dia berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku [bapakku] dari [Qatadah] telah menceritakan kepadaku [Anas bin Malik] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Setiap Nabi memiliki doa yang dia panjatkan untuk umatnya, dan sesungguhnya aku (berkeinginan untuk) menyembunyikan doaku sebagai syafa'at bagi umatku pada hari kiamat."

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku tentangnya [Zuhair bin Harb] dan [Ibnu Abu Khalaf] dia berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Rauh] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Qatadah] dengan sanad ini. (dalam jalur lain disebutkan) Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Kuraib] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Waki']. (dalam jalur lain disebutkan) Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku tentangnya [Ibrahim bin Sa'id al-Jauhari] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Usamah] semuanya dari [Mis'ar] dari [Qatadah] dengan sanad ini, hanya saja dalam hadits Waki' dia menyebutkan, "Diberikan.'

Sedangkan dalam hadits Abu Usamah dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, Dan telah meriwayatkan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Abdul A'la] telah menceritakan kepada kami [al-Mu'tamir] dari [bapaknya] dari [Anas] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda, lalu dia menyebutkan semisal hadits [Qatadah] dari [Anas]

Bana Ebu Gassan el-Mismai de tahdis etti. Bize Muhammed b. el-Müsenna ile İbn Beşşar da -ki laflZ Ebu Gassan'a aittir- tahdis ettiler. Hepsi dedi ki: Bize Muaz -İbn Hişam'ı kastediyorlar- tahdis edip dedi ki: Bana babam Katade'den tahdis etti, bize Enes b. Malik'in tahdis ettiğine göre Allah'ın Nebisi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurdu: "Her bir nebinin ümmetine yaptığı bir duası vardır.

Ben ise duam i kıyamet gününde ümmetime şefaat olmak üzere sakladım. " Yalnız Müslim rivayet etmiştir; Tuhfetu'l-Eşraf

Sahih Muslim 494, Book 4, The Book of Prayers, Hadith 266. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified the position of the hands during the prostration in prayer. The palms should be put on the ground with the fingers joined facing the Qiblah (prayer direction), whereas the elbows—the joint between the forearm and the upper arm—should be raised and not touch the ground and should be kept away from the sides.

What it teaches

  • It is obligatory for the one praying to place his palms on the ground, noting that the palms are from the seven body parts included in the prostration.
  • It is recommended to raise the arms from the ground, and it is disliked to spread them out on the ground like a wild beast.
  • It is legitimate to display energy, strength, and desire in worship.
  • When the one praying relies on all of the body parts included in the prostration, each part will receive its due right of worship.
