Sunnah Ab'ad (MM 16/3/08)

Munyatul Musolli 16 March 2008

Continuing with Musolli – 13 rukuns of solah:

• 8. Sitting between sujuds (prostrations) with toma’ninah. After the first sujud, rise and sit in the “istirahah” (relaxed) manner. It is sunnah to put both palms on the knee with the fingers stretched out forward. Pause for a while only before returning to the second sujud.
• 9. Reciting the final tasyahhud.
• 10. Reciting the salawat (peace and blessings) upon Prophet Muhammad (saw).
• 11. Sitting while reciting the final tasyahhud (#9), salawat upon Prophet Muhammad (saw) (#10), and offering the first salam (#12).
• 12. Offering the first salam. Say at least “Assalamualaikum”. Moreover it is better to say “Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh”, and do 2 salams: Once while turning the face a bit to the right; and once more turning to the left. It is sunnah to make intention to offer the salams to the angels, muslim jins, and muslim persons in each direction. It is also sunnah to make intention to end the solah while offering the first salam.
• 13. In orderly sequence. Niat, then takbiratul-ihram, then recite Fatihah, then bow, then prostrate etc. Salam comes at the end.
  

Sunnah Ab’ad

These are the 8 elements in solah that warrant sujud sahwi if you skip them:

• 1. Reciting the first tasyahhud.
• 2. Sitting while reciting the first tasyahhud.
• 3. Reciting do’a qunut.
• 4. Standing while reciting do’a qunut.
• 5. Reciting salawat upon Nabi (saw) at the end of first tasyahhud.
• 6. Reciting salawat upon Nabi (saw) at the end of do’a qunut.
• 7. Reciting salawat upon family of Nabi (saw) at the end of first tasyahhud.
• 8. Reciting salawat upon family of Nabi (saw) at the end of do’a qunut.

If you skip any of the above (intentionally or not), it is preferred that that you perform two units of sujuds at the end of final tasyahhud, before the first salam.

Added Ustaz Zakaria: In case you skip any of the eight, and you forget to do sujud sahwi; then it is preferred that you do following:

• State intention to return into solah
• Perform two units of sujuds
• Offer salams

The above is acceptable only if the time lapse after you’ve completed the salam is short, and you have not done anything to nullify your solah (eat, drink etc).

Wallahu a'lam
