The Nature of the Prophet's Prayer: Raising Both Hands and Reading Tasbih When Ruku' (21)

DDHKORG — The practice of praying from the time of our ancestors to the present day generally uses the standard of prayer described by the Shafi'i school of thought. This is because the majority of the Indonesian population is generally the Shafi'i school of thought. The scholars who spread Islam in the archipelago, of course, were also scholars of the Shafi'i school of thought. So automatically the practice of prayer is based on the fiqh of the Shafi'i school of thought.

Through this series of articles, DDHK News describes the nature of the prayer of the Prophet Muhammad based on the Shafi'i school, as written by Muhammad Ajib, Lc., MA. in his book "Sahih Evidence of the Prophet's Prayer Ala Madzhab Syafi'iy".

Raising both hands when bowing

It is sunnah to raise both hands when bowing at the same time as saying takbir.

First proposition: From the companions of Ibn Umar Radhiyallahu anhu that the Prophet when praying raised his hands, when he bowed his hands he also raised his hands and when he got up from bowing he also raised his hands. (Hadith narrated by Bukhari & Muslim)

Second argument: From the companions of Ali bin Abi Talib Radhiyallahu anhu said: The Prophet when praying raised his hands parallel to the shoulders, and raised both hands when he wanted to bow, and raised both hands when he got up from bowing', and raised both hands when he got up from tasyahud awwal. This hadith according to Imam Tirmidhi is a saheeh hadith (Hadith narrated by Abu Dawud)

Reading tasbih when bowing

Imam Nawawi said that it is sunnah to read tasbih when bowing. It can be read 1 time, 3 times, 5 times, 7 times, 9 times or 11 times. But for the priest it is not necessary more than 3 times.

There are 3 hadiths regarding the reading of bowing ', including:

First proposition: From a friend of Aisyah Radhiyallahu anha said: The Prophet when praying in bowing and prostration read: Subhanakallahumma Robbana Wabihamdika Allahummghfirli. (Hadith narrated by Bukhari & Muslim)

Second argument: From a friend of Aisyah Radhiyallahu anha said: The Prophet SAW when praying in bowing and prostration read: Subbuhun Quddusun Rabbul Angeli Warruh. (Hadith narrated by Bukhari & Muslim)

Third proposition: From a friend of Uqbah Bin Amir Radhiyallahu anha said: The Prophet when praying in bowing read: Subhana Robbiyal adzimi wabihamdih. 3 times. And when prostrating: Subhana Robbiyal A'la wabihamdih 3 times. (Hadith narrated by Abu Dawud)
