The good end is for the pious. I testify that none has the right to be worshiped except Allah alone, who has no partner; and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger; the one concerning whom his Lord has said: 4_lll 4 4-111 ^ i Cfj) 13^ ^ JSjj >3/1 There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often. [Al-’Ahzab 33:21] 1 Sha y k h M u q bil ib n H a d !A l - W a d i 'I The one who said: Pray as you have seen me praying. 1 To Proceed: This is the description of the Prophet’s prayer by my father and Shaykh, Muqbil ibn Hadi Al-Wadi‘1 -a* which he taught to the students in Dar al-Hadlth in Dammaj. May Allah 3k return its honor and blessing, in statement and action. I have taken care, with the help of Allah 3k, and added concise com ments. I hope, from my Lord, that He brings about benefit by them, as well as the original book. My work within the book is as follows: One: I gave concern to the transmissions, and for Allah 3k is the praise; in order that they be far removed from error. We ask our Lord M to grant us correctness and to set right our efforts. Two: I separated the issues by chapter headings in order to differentiate between them. 1 Reported by Al-Bukhari (no. 631) from the hadith of Malik ibn Al-Hu- w ayrith At. 2 T he D escription of th e P r o p h e t ’s P r a y e r Three: I arranged some of the topics surrounding the prayer of the Prophet that which was previously separated but should have been together under one subject; and I placed it in its appropriate place in order that the sequence of the prayer may be consistent. Four: Within the footnotes, I added some of the fiqh positions of our father. We extrapolated these from his other lessons, that which is con nected to the topic, in order to complete the benefit, if Allah M wills. Five: Our sister, Wafa’ Baqais and grant her a goodly life, added an index to the book. May my Lord M reward her with good. I ask my Lord Jtto grant me sincerity and to bring benefit by way of it. We ask Him, Glorified be He, to grant us success in that which contains His pleasure and in having taqwa o f Him . Much perpetual praise is for Allah, outwardly and inwardly, firstly and lastly, until the Day of Recompense. 3 A u t h o r ’s Introduction The praise is for Allah, Lord of all that exists. May prayers and peace be upon our prophet Muhammad; his family and companions, altogether. I testify that none has the right to be worshiped except Allah, alone, who has no partners; and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. To proceed: We promised our brothers to clarify the description of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah by demonstration. If our brothers like, I can do so upon the minbar, or would they prefer it be done from here?
