*AL-AKHDHARI: The Book Of Ibadah*
*Part 33: FORGETFULNESS ON THE PART OF THE IMAM*
Whoever sighs in his salaat has nothing on him unless he distinctly articulate a letter.
If the Imam makes an error of omission or addition the follower(s) calls his attention by
saying “Subhaanallah”, Glory be to Allah.
When your Imam arises after two Rak’aat (without sitting first) say Subhaanallah! If
however, he has already left the ground, follow him. If he sits after the first or second
Rak’at, arise and do not sit with him. If he makes only one Sajda and leaves the second, say
Subhaanallah and do not arise with him unless you fear he will go into Ruku’ in which case you must follow him and do not after that sit with him neither in the second nor third Rak’aat.
When (he finally) makes Salaam, add another Rak’at in place of the Rak’at you cancelled
thereby completing your Salaat and do the Sujood before Salaam. If this happens in a congregation then it is best that you put one of you forward to complete the Salaat with you.
If the Imam adds a third Sajda, say Subhaanallah and do not make the Sujood with him.
When the Imam arises unto a fifth Rak’at, he who is sure of its necessity should follow him; likewise he who is in doubt. He who is certain it is an addition should remain sitting. If the
former sits and the latter arises then their Salaat becomes invalid.
If the Imam pronounces the Salaam before the completion of the Salaat, the one behind him
should say Subhaanallah. If he (the Imam) believes him, he completes his Salaat and does the Sujood after Salaam. If however, he has doubts about the information, he asks two trusted persons and it would be permissible for them to talk in this situation. If however, he is certain the Salaat is complete he acts according to his certainty and leaves the two trusted ones unless
there be many people behind him in which case he leaves his certainty and refers to them.
*We have completed The Book of Akhdhari By the special Grace of Almighty ALLĀH*
*Alhamdulillah!* This is the end of this book. May ALLĀH guide us to the right path and grant us the beneficial knowledge of Islam as well as grant us Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen
