Comments: Several variations of supplication are reported to have been recited from time to time by the Prophet after saying the introductory Takbir (Alllihu Akbar) for the prayer. We are free to recite any of these. It is, however, preferable to vary our supplications off and on. 'a if G k - ,,.e 805. It was narrated that Abu 2 CS &I 2 , , , H u r a i r a h said: "When t h e 2y & 62 Messenger of All* @ said the a Takbir (Alllih Akbar), he would 3 '6;;4f 2 ccd~ z G ; 3 remain silent between the Takbir A?l;L@$l'J+;Lg :JG:**,J 39 &I and the recitation I said: 'May my father and mother be ransomed JG GF12'l; & for you!

Comments: a. '(0All&!) Distance me from my sins' means: Protect me (or us) through Your mercy from all sins and, not to speak of committing the sins, enable us to avoid even going close to the sins. b. Sins are likened to filth and dirt n ~ a is t why extreme purity has been likened to white garments. c.. Sins push one to the Hell-fire They give discomfort to the soul, just as the physical body feels discomfort from the heat. That is why, in order to cleanse the sins and give quietude to the soul, things prayed for by the are also cool by their very nature. Prophet (s)

806. It was narrated from 'Aishah that when the Prophet #gstarted Sallit he would say: "SubMmka Alllihumma wa bi hamdika, wa tablirakas-mukn wa ta'lila jadduka, wa la^ ilLiha ghayruk (Glory and praise is to You, 0 Allih, blessed is Your Name and exalted is Your majesty, none has the right to be worshiped but You)."

Comments: The wisdom behind it is that, in the first Rak'nh, the worshippers are more energetic and receptive. Besides, there are chances for more worshippers to catch up with the fist Rak'nh and therefore the eniire prayer of the conmeKation. - 820.

Wa 'Alaihm As-Salim. But the sad state is that some people have given up this excellent invocation in favor of meaningless words of greeting used by the non-Muslims. d. Amin means: '0 AlEh, accept our invocation' or simply 'May it be so'. This abbreviated invocation is in fact the repetition of the longer invocations already articulated. Jews and Christians also use this expression (spelt as 'amen'). They have probably taken it from the Muslims, or else it is one of those things still extant from the teaching of earlier Prophets. Hence it is that they do not like the idea of seeing the Muslims using this blessed word. Muslims, therefore, must be wary of the designs of the disbelievers and never leave the blessed invocations of Amin and SaEm.

This Hudifh speaks of raising the hands up to the shoulders, while there are other AMith that speak of mising the hands up close to the ears. Thus, both of these variations are proven from the Sunnah. We would do well to alternate between the two practices, namely raising up to the shoulders at times and taking them close to the ears at other times. c. Raf' AI-Yadain (raising up the two hands) on three uccasions, namely (i) while going into the bowing (Ruh'), (ii)raising the head from the Ruku: and (iii)rising for the third Rakbh, is the Sunnah of the Prophet

Muhammad bin 'Amr bin 'At2 said, concerning Abu Humaid AsS d i : "I heard him when he was among ten of the Companions of the Messenger of All% g,one of whom was Abu Qatsdah bin Rib'i, saying: 'I am the most knowledgeable of you about the prayer of the Messenger of AlEh @. When he stood up for prayer, he stood up straight and raised his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders, then he said: Alllihu Akbar. When he wanted to bow in Ruku', he raised his hands they were parallel to his shoulders. When he said Sami' Alllihu liman hamidah (AUfi hears those who praise Him), he raised his hands and stood up straight. When he stood up after two Rakhh, he said Allrihu Akbar and raised his hands until they were parallel to his shoulders, as he did when he started the prayer."' (Sahih)
