Translation · EN

Chapter: Aligning the Rows

  • I heard Ishaq say: "When the Imam performs the iqamah, he should command them to do that"—meaning: aligning the rows—"and he should not say the takbir until the rows are aligned. It is disliked for a man to raise his gaze to the sky during prayer."

Chapter: For someone who missed prayers, should he perform them with an adhan and an iqamah?

  • I asked Ahmad ibn Hanbal, saying: "A man missed prayers and is making them up; should he call the adhan and perform the iqamah once, or [call them for] all of them?" He was very lenient about this and considered it good.

  • And I heard Ishaq say: "If you forget a day and night’s prayer or less, and you perform the iqamah for each prayer, that is more beloved to us. And if an Imam misses such, the mu'adhdhin should call the adhan, then perform the iqamah, and then he should pray with his companions what he missed, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did on the Day of the Trench."

527 - Muhammad ibn Adam narrated to us, he said: Makhlad ibn Husayn narrated to us, from Hisham, from al-Hasan—regarding a man who has prayers upon him and wishes to make them up—he said: "If he makes them up in one place, one iqamah is sufficient for him; but if he makes them up here and there, then for each prayer there is an iqamah."

528 - Muhammad ibn al-Wazir narrated to us, he said: al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us, he said: Abu 'Amr said: Abu al-Zubayr al-Makki informed me, from Nafi' ibn Jubayr ibn Mut'im, from Abu 'Ubaydah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud, from his father 'Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) parallel to the enemy at the Trench, and they distracted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha' prayers, until it was half the night. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood and began with the Zuhr, and prayed it, then the 'Asr, then the Maghrib, then the 'Isha'; he performed them one after another with an iqamah for each."
