1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,469 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:05,469 --> 00:00:07,469 A summary of the book: 3 00:00:07,469 --> 00:00:09,470 Ramadan: 4 00:00:09,470 --> 00:00:11,470 Events and Lessons. 5 00:00:11,470 --> 00:00:15,070 Gathering the people under 6 00:00:15,070 --> 00:00:17,070 Ubayy ibn Ka‘b, may Allah be pleased with him, 7 00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:19,070 for the prayer of 8 00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:22,350 Tarawih. 9 00:00:22,350 --> 00:00:24,350 The time is the month of Ramadan, 10 00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:26,350 in the fourth year 11 00:00:26,350 --> 00:00:30,820 of the Hijrah. 12 00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:32,820 Ramadan is a month of abundant 13 00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:34,820 goodness and overflowing 14 00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:36,820 blessings. 15 00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:38,820 Within its course, the competitors 16 00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:40,820 race, 17 00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:42,820 and the rivals vie, 18 00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:44,820 not for the debris 19 00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:46,820 of this world and its fleeting pleasures, 20 00:00:46,820 --> 00:00:48,820 but for the deeds 21 00:00:48,820 --> 00:00:50,820 of the Hereafter and the means 22 00:00:50,820 --> 00:00:52,850 of salvation therein. 23 00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:54,850 For in Ramadan, 24 00:00:54,850 --> 00:00:56,850 tables of diverse acts of worship 25 00:00:56,850 --> 00:00:58,850 are spread for those who fast, 26 00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:00,850 and various righteous deeds 27 00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:02,850 are presented to them, 28 00:01:02,850 --> 00:01:04,849 displayed in the most beautiful manner, 29 00:01:04,849 --> 00:01:06,849 so that they may turn 30 00:01:06,849 --> 00:01:08,849 toward them and strive to perform them. 31 00:01:08,849 --> 00:01:10,879 Among those 32 00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:12,879 great acts of worship 33 00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:15,010 is the Tarawih prayer. 34 00:01:15,010 --> 00:01:17,010 "Tarawih" 35 00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:19,010 is the plural of "tarwiha," 36 00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:21,010 which is originally 37 00:01:21,010 --> 00:01:23,010 a term for a sitting in general. 38 00:01:23,010 --> 00:01:25,010 It was then used to name the sitting 39 00:01:25,010 --> 00:01:27,010 that occurs after every four rak‘ahs 40 00:01:27,010 --> 00:01:29,010 during the nights of Ramadan, 41 00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:31,010 for the people to rest therein. 42 00:01:31,010 --> 00:01:33,010 Then, every four rak‘ahs 43 00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:35,010 were metaphorically called a "tarwiha." 44 00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:37,010 Eventually, the 45 00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:39,010 name was applied to this entire prayer, 46 00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:41,010 so it is said: 47 00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:43,010 "Tarawih prayer." 48 00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:46,129 The Tarawih prayer 49 00:01:46,129 --> 00:01:48,129 in the era of the Messenger of Allah, 50 00:01:48,129 --> 00:01:50,129 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 51 00:01:50,129 --> 00:01:52,510 The Tarawih prayer 52 00:01:52,510 --> 00:01:54,510 is a recommended act of worship. 53 00:01:54,510 --> 00:01:56,510 The Messenger of Allah, 54 00:01:56,510 --> 00:01:58,510 peace be upon him, 55 00:01:58,510 --> 00:02:00,510 performed it and encouraged the people to do so. 56 00:02:00,510 --> 00:02:02,510 People gathered on some nights, 57 00:02:02,510 --> 00:02:04,510 and he led them 58 00:02:04,510 --> 00:02:06,510 as an Imam. 59 00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:08,509 But when the mosque became crowded with its people, 60 00:02:08,509 --> 00:02:10,509 the Kind, 61 00:02:10,509 --> 00:02:12,509 the Merciful feared that it might be made obligatory upon his Ummah. 62 00:02:12,509 --> 00:02:14,509 Out of his perfect compassion, 63 00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:16,509 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 64 00:02:16,509 --> 00:02:18,509 he did not continue 65 00:02:18,509 --> 00:02:20,509 praying it in congregation 66 00:02:20,509 --> 00:02:22,639 for that reason. 67 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,639 This is evidenced by numerous 68 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,639 hadiths, 69 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,639 including the hadith of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 70 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,639 that the Messenger of Allah, 71 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,639 peace be upon him, 72 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,639 went out in the middle of the night one 73 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,639 night and prayed 74 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,639 in the mosque, 75 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,639 and some men prayed with him. 76 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,639 The next morning, the people spoke 77 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,639 about that, 78 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,639 so a larger number gathered. 79 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,639 The Messenger of Allah, 80 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,639 peace be upon him, 81 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,639 went out on the second night, 82 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,639 and they prayed with him. 83 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,639 The next morning, the people mentioned that, 84 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,639 and the number of people in the mosque increased 85 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,639 on the third night, 86 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,639 so he went out and they prayed 87 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,699 with him. 88 00:03:04,699 --> 00:03:06,699 When the fourth night came, 89 00:03:06,699 --> 00:03:08,699 the mosque could not contain 90 00:03:08,699 --> 00:03:10,699 its people, 91 00:03:10,699 --> 00:03:12,699 so the Messenger of Allah, 92 00:03:12,699 --> 00:03:14,699 peace be upon him, did not go out to them. 93 00:03:14,699 --> 00:03:16,699 Some men among them began 94 00:03:16,699 --> 00:03:18,699 to call out, "The prayer!" 95 00:03:18,699 --> 00:03:20,699 But the Messenger of Allah, 96 00:03:20,699 --> 00:03:22,699 peace be upon him, did not go out to them 97 00:03:22,699 --> 00:03:24,699 until 98 00:03:24,699 --> 00:03:26,699 he went out for the dawn prayer. 99 00:03:26,699 --> 00:03:28,699 When he finished the dawn prayer, 100 00:03:28,699 --> 00:03:30,699 he turned to the people, 101 00:03:30,699 --> 00:03:32,699 then testified and said: 102 00:03:32,699 --> 00:03:34,699 "To proceed: 103 00:03:34,699 --> 00:03:36,699 Your presence last night did not escape me, 104 00:03:36,699 --> 00:03:38,699 but I feared that the night prayer 105 00:03:38,699 --> 00:03:40,699 would be made obligatory 106 00:03:40,699 --> 00:03:42,699 upon you, 107 00:03:42,699 --> 00:03:44,699 and you would be unable to perform it." 108 00:03:44,699 --> 00:03:46,699 In one narration, 109 00:03:46,699 --> 00:03:48,699 this was in Ramadan. 110 00:03:48,699 --> 00:03:51,340 The Tarawih prayer 111 00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:53,340 in the era of the Rightly Guided 112 00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:55,729 Caliphs. 113 00:03:55,729 --> 00:03:57,729 First, in the era of Abu 114 00:03:57,729 --> 00:03:59,729 Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. 115 00:03:59,729 --> 00:04:01,889 The caliphate of 116 00:04:01,889 --> 00:04:03,889 al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, came, 117 00:04:03,889 --> 00:04:05,889 and the matter of the Tarawih prayer 118 00:04:05,889 --> 00:04:07,889 remained as it had been 119 00:04:07,889 --> 00:04:09,889 during the life of the Messenger of Allah, 120 00:04:09,889 --> 00:04:11,889 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 121 00:04:11,889 --> 00:04:13,889 And since 122 00:04:13,889 --> 00:04:15,889 the duration of his caliphate was short, 123 00:04:15,889 --> 00:04:17,889 no change 124 00:04:17,889 --> 00:04:19,889 occurred therein. 125 00:04:19,889 --> 00:04:22,050 Second: 126 00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:24,050 The era of ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. 127 00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:26,300 The matter remained in that state 128 00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:28,300 for a portion of the caliphate of 129 00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:30,300 ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. 130 00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:32,300 Then, a consensus was reached 131 00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:34,300 to gather the people under one Imam. 132 00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:36,459 It is narrated from ‘Abd 133 00:04:36,459 --> 00:04:38,459 al-Rahman ibn ‘Abd al-Qari 134 00:04:38,459 --> 00:04:40,459 that ‘Umar 135 00:04:40,459 --> 00:04:42,459 ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, 136 00:04:42,459 --> 00:04:44,459 went out one night in Ramadan, 137 00:04:44,459 --> 00:04:46,459 and ‘Abd al-Rahman 138 00:04:46,459 --> 00:04:48,459 went out with him. 139 00:04:48,459 --> 00:04:50,459 He walked through the mosque, 140 00:04:50,459 --> 00:04:52,459 and in the mosque were scattered groups; 141 00:04:52,459 --> 00:04:54,459 a man would pray 142 00:04:54,459 --> 00:04:56,459 by himself, 143 00:04:56,459 --> 00:04:58,459 and a man would pray, 144 00:04:58,459 --> 00:05:00,459 and others would pray following his prayer. 145 00:05:00,459 --> 00:05:02,459 ‘Umar said, 146 00:05:02,459 --> 00:05:04,459 "By Allah, I think 147 00:05:04,459 --> 00:05:06,459 that if we gathered them under one reciter, 148 00:05:06,459 --> 00:05:08,459 it would be better." 149 00:05:08,459 --> 00:05:10,459 Then he resolved 150 00:05:10,459 --> 00:05:12,459 to gather them under one reciter, 151 00:05:12,459 --> 00:05:14,459 and he ordered 152 00:05:14,459 --> 00:05:16,459 Ubayy ibn Ka‘b 153 00:05:16,459 --> 00:05:18,459 to lead them in Ramadan. 154 00:05:18,459 --> 00:05:20,459 ‘Umar went out while the people were praying 155 00:05:20,459 --> 00:05:22,459 behind their reciter, 156 00:05:22,459 --> 00:05:24,459 and with him was ‘Abd al-Rahman 157 00:05:24,459 --> 00:05:26,459 ibn ‘Abd al-Qari, 158 00:05:26,459 --> 00:05:28,459 and ‘Umar said: 159 00:05:28,459 --> 00:05:30,459 "What an excellent innovation this is! 160 00:05:30,459 --> 00:05:32,459 But the one they sleep through 161 00:05:32,459 --> 00:05:34,459 is better than the one they are performing now," 162 00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:36,459 meaning 163 00:05:36,459 --> 00:05:38,459 the end of the night, 164 00:05:38,459 --> 00:05:40,459 whereas the people were performing it at the beginning. 165 00:05:40,459 --> 00:05:43,939 The answer regarding 166 00:05:43,939 --> 00:05:45,939 the statement of ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him: 167 00:05:45,939 --> 00:05:47,939 "What an excellent innovation this is!" 168 00:05:47,939 --> 00:05:50,129 It may occur 169 00:05:50,129 --> 00:05:52,129 to the minds of some people 170 00:05:52,129 --> 00:05:54,129 that what ‘Umar meant 171 00:05:54,129 --> 00:05:56,129 by his saying "this innovation" 172 00:05:56,129 --> 00:05:58,129 is the religious innovation, which is that 173 00:05:58,129 --> 00:06:00,129 which has no 174 00:06:00,129 --> 00:06:02,129 previous precedent, but the matter 175 00:06:02,129 --> 00:06:04,129 is not so, 176 00:06:04,129 --> 00:06:06,129 due to the aforementioned 177 00:06:06,129 --> 00:06:08,129 hadiths indicating the legitimacy of 178 00:06:08,129 --> 00:06:10,129 the Tarawih prayer in congregation 179 00:06:10,129 --> 00:06:12,129 in the mosques. 180 00:06:12,129 --> 00:06:14,129 So what is the meaning of "innovation" 181 00:06:14,129 --> 00:06:16,290 in this statement of ‘Umar? 182 00:06:16,290 --> 00:06:18,290 Al-Bayhaqi said, 183 00:06:18,290 --> 00:06:20,290 after mentioning the hadith of ‘Abd al-Rahman 184 00:06:20,290 --> 00:06:22,290 ibn ‘Abd al-Qari: 185 00:06:22,290 --> 00:06:24,290 "I say: We have explained that 186 00:06:24,290 --> 00:06:26,290 the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 187 00:06:26,290 --> 00:06:28,290 only 188 00:06:28,290 --> 00:06:30,290 refrained from leading them in prayer 189 00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:32,290 on the fourth night 190 00:06:32,290 --> 00:06:34,290 for fear that it would be made obligatory upon them. 191 00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:36,319 When Allah, 192 00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:38,319 the Almighty, took him to His mercy, 193 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:40,319 the obligations were finalized, 194 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:42,319 so ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, did not fear 195 00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:44,319 that, 196 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,319 whereas the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 197 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,319 did fear it. 198 00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:50,319 He saw that gathering them 199 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:52,319 upon a single reciter. 200 00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,319 He deemed this best, so he gathered them, 201 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,319 and there was nothing in what he did 202 00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:58,319 that contradicted what had passed from the Book, 203 00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:00,319 or the Sunnah, or consensus. 204 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:02,319 Thus, it was not 205 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:04,319 a blameworthy innovation, 206 00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,319 but rather a beneficial development 207 00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:08,319 that has a basis in the Sunnah, 208 00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:10,319 which is what we mentioned 209 00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:12,319 regarding the prayer of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 210 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:14,319 in the report of ‘A’ishah, 211 00:07:14,319 -->
