DDHK.ORG - 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".
***
Sitting between 2 prostrations must be done with thuma'ninah as well. It is sunnah to recite the takbir first and sit in the iftirosy position.
Iftirosy is a position where the left foot is used as a base for sitting and the right foot is standing straight.
The first proposition: In the matter of sitting between two prostrations, the Shafi'i school uses an authentic argument narrated by Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, "From the companion of Abu Hurairah radiyallahu 'anhu regarding people whose prayers are considered bad, that the Prophet said to him: then lift up your head until thuma'ninah is sitting." (Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim)
The second argument: The Shafi'i school also uses the authentic hadith narrated by Imam Abu Dawud and Imam At-Tirmidhi which reads: "From the companion of Abu Hamid as-Sa'idiy radhiyallahu 'anhu that he explained the nature of the Prophet's prayer and said: then the Prophet put his left leg and sat on it in a straight sitting position until all the bones returned to their place." (Narrated by Abu Dawud & At-Tirmidhi)
