 *"Baadi And Qabli"* 


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


الحـمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آلـه وصحبه ومن والاه


The concept of Qabli and Ba’di relates to the sujud al-Sahaw (the prostration in recompense for the errors committed).


Sujud Sahwi or Sajdah of forgetfulness occurs during the swalat.. Out of forgetfulness a person can either omit obligatory parts of swalat or add to the swalat.. In either cases,, the person corrects his/her salat by doing the Sujud Sahwi.


THE BITTER TRUTH ABOUT "QABLI" & "BAADI" 


As for what is known as Qabi and Baadi,, this matter refers to whether this Sajda needs to be performed *before* the Salam (Qabli) or *after* the Salam (Baadi).


♻ There is *no consensus about this*😳. Yes.. And the main schools of thought of Fiqh differ about it:


1⃣ Hanafis consider it to be *always after* the Salam, but assert that,, if it is done by mistake before the Salam then it is acceptable.


2⃣ Shaf’is consider it to be *always before* the Salam, but assert that,, if the Salam is said by mistake and not much time has passed after it then it can be said after the Salam.


3⃣ Malikis distinguish between a mistake that relates to *adding something* to the required elements of prayer (like reading an extra Rak’ah) or *reducing from the required elements* of prayer. 


In case of adding they consider the position of the Sajda to be after Salam - (Baadi). 


In case of reducing (and also in case of reducing something and adding something else) they consider the position of the Sajda to be before Salam - (Qabli).


4⃣ Hanbalis consider both positions *(before or after Salam)* to be valid,, while for *most cases consider doing the Sajda before Salam to be more rewarding* 


Now......


As you can see from the above, there is no consensus about Qabli and Baadi.. Yes.. This is because this issue (doing Sajda Sahaw before or after Salam) has not been covered by the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh),, which means *it is a matter of Ijtihad and opinion* and people can have different views or may follow different views about it and within reason,, none can be considered as wrong🤷‍♂.


Also.......


If you look at the Ahadith that are used for determining whether to do Qabli or Baadi,, you may come to agreement with me that none of these Ahadith suggest that only Qabli or only Ba’di can be performed for a particular mistake in prayers😳.. Are you *itching* to get the full gist why i said this❓

 *"Baadi And Qabli"* 


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


الحـمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آلـه وصحبه ومن والاه


If you have not read the previous episode of this article (episode one),, then,, try and read it so that you can understand certain important essentials about "Qabli" and "Baadi" already discussed.


*THE BITTER TRUTH ABOUT "QABLI" & "BAADI" - c o n t i n u e s:*


As for what is known as Qabi and Baadi,, this matter refers to whether this Sajda needs to be performed *before* the Salam (Qabli) or *after* the Salam (Baadi).


♻ There is *no consensus about this*😳. Yes.. And the main schools of thought of Fiqh differ about it *((Details of this already discussed in episode one of this article))* .


And.......


If you look at the Ahadith that are used for determining whether to do Qabli or Baadi,, you may come to agreement with me that *none of these Ahadith suggest OPENLY that only Qabli or only Ba’di can be performed* for a particular mistake in prayers


♻ A Qabli reported from the Prophet (pbuh):


Ibn Buhaynah says that once the Prophet (sws) led our zuhr prayer but did not sit down after the first two rak‘at and stood up for the third rak‘at. People also stood up with him until the time when the prayer was about to end and the people were waiting for the salam to be said,, the Prophet (sws) uttered the takbir and before saying the salam offered two prostrations and then said the salam.


📚 – Bukhari – 1224


♻ A Baadi reported from the Prophet (pbuh):


It is narrated by Ibn Mas‘ud (rta) that once when the Prophet (sws) led the zuhr congregational prayer, he prayed five rak‘at. He was asked: “Has the prayer been lengthened?” He replied: “What happened?” The people declared that he had prayed five rak‘at.. At this, the Prophet (sws) turned his feet while sitting and faced the qiblah and then offered two prostrations and then said the salam.


📚 – Bukhari – 401


Now.......


It seems like some scholars, after analyzing Ahadith like the above, have arrived at an understanding that it is *“reduction by mistake” versus “addition by mistake”* that determines whether to do Qabli or Baadi.


However,,,,,


Since the Sunnah has not *practically* instructed us about Qabli or Baadi,, then,, what simply can be derived from the above two Ahadith *(according to the majority of sunni scholars)* is nothing but the common sense😀, that is, - *do the Sajda before Salam if you realized your mistake before Salam, and after Salam if you realized your mistake after Salam,* as simple as that🤷‍♂.

If you have not read the previous episodes of this article *(episode one & two)* ,, then,, try and read it so that *you can understand certain important essentials and clarifications* made on "Qabli" and "Baadi" .


*THE BITTER TRUTH ABOUT "QABLI" & "BAADI" - c o n t i n u e s:*


MAJORITY OF NIGERIANS ARE MALIKIS


I will therefore give the *detailed* opinion of Imam Malik as regards to Qabli and Baadi in this article - In Shaa Allah.


 *Qabli (omitting from the prayer out of forgetfulness):* 


Before making the tasleem (i.e. saying as-Salaam ‘Alaikum on both sides) the person must say the takbir (i.e. Allāhu Akbar) while sitting and then make 2 prostrations as per normal sujud. Then the tasleem is made.


 *Ba'adi (adding to the prayer out of forgetfulness):* 


After making the tasleem,, the person must stay seated and say the takbir while sitting and then make 2 prostrations,, then,, say final Tasleem.


 *Note:* No saying of Attahiyyatu-lillah is expected again of one who do Baadi.. Just say Tasleem after you rise up from the second sujud


 *When one has doubt as to whether they added or subtracted from their prayer:*


The person must first build upon what they are certain of by using the lowest of the possible choices e.g. if a person is unsure whether they prayed 3 or 4 raka’aat for Zuhr prayer (which has 4 raka’aat ), then,, they must take the lower option of 3 and pray one more raka’ah.. Then they should do 2 prostrations before making taslim.


 *Taharr :* 


Taharr is when one has doubt as to whether they added or subtracted from their prayer, but then realise what they did wrong.


The person should complete their swalat with tasleem and then prostrate twice. They should then make the tasleem


*Can sujood "Qabli" or "Baadi" be made up for later if one have forgotten and left the masjid or place of worship*❓

If you have not read the previous episodes of this article *(episode one, two & three)* ,, then,, try and read it so that *you can understand certain important essentials and clarifications* made on "Qabli" and "Baadi" .


*THE BITTER TRUTH ABOUT "QABLI" & "BAADI" - c o n t i n u e s:*


Can sujood "Qabli" or "Baadi" be made up for later if one have forgotten and left the masjid or place of worship❓


♻ Imaam Ahmad said: 👉 He should do the sujood if the time that has passed is *short* , even if he has left the masjid or place of worship.


He also said: 👉 He should do the sujood even if the time that has passed is long, or he has spoken or left the masjid.. This *is the opinion favoured by Shaykh al-Islam [Ibn Taymiyah]* . 


📚Al-Ikhtiyaaraat al-Fiqhiyyah, p. 94.


♻ In Al-Rawd al-Murabba’ Sharh Zaad al-Mustaqna’ (2/461) it says: 👉 (If he forgets), i.e., he forgets to do the sujood al-sahw which should be done before the salaam, (and he says salaam), then,, he remembers, (he should do the sujood) and it is obligatory (if the time that has passed is short)… If he has said salaam – and if a long time has passed according to what is ordinarily regarded as a long time, or he broke his wudoo’, or he left the masjid – then,, *he does not need to do the sujood, and his prayer is still valid.* 


♻ In Al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (3/537), it says: 👉 The phrase ‘If he forgets and says salaam, he should still do the sujood if the time that has passed is short’ refers to the sujood that should be done before the salaam, when he has already said the salaam.. He should do this sujood if the time that has passed is short, *otherwise he no longer has to do it, and his prayer is still valid.* 


 *THE END*

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
