\n

Hadhrat Mufti Mahmood Gangohi (Rahmatullahi Alaih)<\/em> was conducting a Bukhari Shareef lesson in Kanpur when a person entered and posed a question which was totally unrelated to the lesson.\u00a0Nevertheless the following discussion ensued between Hadhrat Mufti Saheb and the Ghair Muqallid:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ghair Muqallid:<\/strong> What is your personal opinion regarding the mas\u2019ala<\/em> of Qiraat Khalfal Imaam<\/em> (the muqtadee<\/em> reciting behind the Imaam in Salaah<\/em>)?<\/p>\n

Hadhrat<\/strong> Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> I will answer once you inform me which mazhab<\/em> you subscribe to.<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqallid:<\/strong> I am an Ahle-Hadith<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hadhrat<\/strong> Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> Now you may present your question.<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqallid:<\/strong> What is your personal opinion regarding the mas\u2019ala<\/em> of Qiraat Khalfal Imaam<\/em> (the muqtadee<\/em> reciting behind the Imaam<\/em> in Salaah<\/em>)?<\/p>\n

Hadhrat<\/strong> Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> Your question is quite disturbing.<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqallid:<\/strong> It is strange that a mere question could disturb someone.<\/p>\n

Hadhrat<\/strong> Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> Certainly! It is for this reason the Qur\u2019an has forbade us from posing certain questions. Does the Qur\u2019an not command us:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cO You who believe! Do not pose such questions which, if explained to you, will cause you pain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ghair Muqallid:<\/strong> And may I ask in which way did my question disturb you?<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> I am disturbed on account of the fact that you are enquiring about my personal opinion in this issue. Are you going to go by whatever I say? You ought to be asking what the Hadith<\/em> has to say regarding this mas\u2019ala<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqallid:<\/strong> Yes! That is exactly what I meant.<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> Al-Hamdulillah<\/em>! Your inner condition reveals that you consider whatever I am going to tell you to be in accordance to that which appears in the Hadith<\/em> (for this reason you have inquired from me regarding my personal opinion). Now that you have understood this, listen attentively! It is not compulsory for the muqtadi <\/em>to recite behind the Imaam<\/em> in Salaah<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqallid:<\/strong> Will you present to me your proof for saying it is not compulsory for the muqtadi<\/em> to recite behind the Imaam?<\/em><\/p>\n

Hadhrat<\/strong> Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> Once again you have disturbed me through your question.<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> How is that?<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> You claim to be an Ahle-Hadith<\/em> (a follower of the Hadith<\/em>) whereas in this situation you have abandoned the teachings of the Hadith<\/em>. The Hadith<\/em> instructs the claimant to furnish proof not the defendant. Since you are claiming that it is compulsory for the muqtadi <\/em>to recite behind the Imaam<\/em> in Salaah<\/em>, it is your duty to furnish the proof:<\/p>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0628\u064a\u0646\u0629 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062f\u0639\u064a<\/p>\n

Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em> said: It is the duty of the claimant to produce proof in substantiation of his claim.<\/p>\n

Hafiz Ibnus Salaah in his \u201cMuqaddamah<\/em>\u201d has categorically stated that this Hadith <\/em>is a mashhoor Hadith<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I am not the one who claims that it is compulsory for the muqtadee <\/em>to recite behind the Imaam<\/em>. Instead, it is you. Despite that, you still demand proof from me and act contrary to this Hadith<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0628\u064a\u0646\u0629 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062f\u0639\u064a<\/p>\n

Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em> said: It is the duty of the claimant to produce proof in substantiation of his claim.<\/p>\n

Certainly this is not what is expected from a person who claims to be Ahle-e-Hadith (a follower of the Hadith<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, I will still explain to you (why reciting behind the Imaam <\/em>is not compulsory). To prove compulsion, one needs an absolutely authentic proof known in Shari’ah <\/em>as (\u0646\u0635 \u0642\u0637\u0639\u0649).<\/p>\n

In our case, the proof i.e. the Hadith which establishes reciting behind the Imaam is not an absolutely authentic proof (nass-e-Qati).<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> Here\u2019s my proof \u2026<\/p>\n

\u0644\u0627 \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0644\u0645\u0646 \u0644\u0645 \u064a\u0642\u0631\u0627 \u0628\u0641\u0627\u062a\u062d\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0643\u062a\u0627\u0628<\/p>\n

There is no Salaah for he who did not rea<\/em>d Surah Faatiha.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> Inform me, in which juz <\/em>of the Qur\u2019an does this appear? In which Surah <\/em>does this verse appear? Certainly this is no verse of the Qur’an. Instead this is a Hadith <\/em>which falls under the category of khabrul waahid.<\/em> Don\u2019t you even know the meaning of an absolutely authentic proof? (\u062f\u0644\u064a\u0644 \u0642\u0637\u0639\u064a)<\/p>\n

Nevertheless since you have presented this Hadith<\/em>, can you please explain how you have concluded from this Hadith <\/em>that it is compulsory to recite behind he Imaam<\/em>?<\/p>\n

For a long time I have been waiting to ask the Ahle-Hadith <\/em>how do they conclude from this Hadith <\/em>that it is compulsory for the muqtadi <\/em>to recite Surah Faatihah<\/em>. Consider the narration of Hadhrat Ubadah bin Saaamit (Radiyallahu Anhu)<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce, after the completion of the Salaah, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em> enquired from the Sahaba (Radiyallahu Anhum) <\/em>as to who among them were reciting during the Salaah<\/em>. Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em> said:<\/p>\n

\u0644\u0639\u0644\u0643\u0645 \u062a\u0642\u0631\u0624\u0648\u0646 \u062e\u0644\u0641 \u0625\u0645\u0627\u0645\u0643\u0645<\/p>\n

It seems that you are reciting behind your Imaam<\/em><\/p>\n

From this Hadith<\/em> we understand that reciting behind the Imaam <\/em>was not a command of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em>. Similarly, we come to know that reciting behind the Imaam <\/em>was not a common practice during the era of Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Had this been the common practice of Sahabah or the command of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em>, Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) <\/em>would have not enquired from them whether they were reciting behind the Imaam<\/em>. Furthermore, had this been the instruction of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em>, the companions of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) <\/em>would have replied:<\/p>\n

\u201cOh our master (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em>, as per your instruction we are reciting behind the Imaam<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is for this very reason, we do not find that the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) <\/em>ever questioned the Sahabah <\/em>whether they recited ‘subhana rabbiyal azeem’<\/em> in ruku<\/em>, ‘subhana rabbiyal a\u2019ala’<\/em> in sajda <\/em>or attihiyaat<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Why didn\u2019t Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) <\/em>ask regarding these aspects? This is due to the fact that this was the general practice of the Sahabah (Radiyallahu Anhum)<\/em> which everyone was carrying out as per the instruction of Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, in the case of reading behind the Imaam<\/em>, the question was posed: \u201cWho from amongst you were reciting behind me in Salaah<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the Sahabah (Radiyallahu Anhum) <\/em>then timorously answered: \u201cWe were reciting behind you O Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em>! Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) <\/em>then said:<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not recite anything (behind your Imaam<\/em>) with the exception of Surah Faatiha<\/em>, for there is no Salaah <\/em>for the one who does not recite Surah Faatiha <\/em>\u2026 (Bazlul Majhood<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> \u201c\u2026 You see! This is exactly what I mentioned to you!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> \u201cCertainly! But, allow me to explain to you the correct meaning of this Hadith<\/em>. On one hand Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em> prohibits reciting behind the Imaam <\/em>through the following words: \u0644\u0627 \u062a\u0642\u0631\u0621\u0648\u0627 (do not recite behind the Imaam<\/em>!) and on the other hand Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) <\/em>makes an exclusion by saying \u0625\u0644\u0627 (except for\u2026). (So we have a prohibition together with an exclusion.) Thus the prohibition denotes impermissibility whilst the exclusion denotes permissibility. Definitely we understand that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em>,will not prevent you from doing a certain thing and at the same time allow you to do that very same thing. So could you explain to me which thing is Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) <\/em>preventing us from and which thing is Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) <\/em>allowing us to do. If we are being allowed to recite Surah Faatiha <\/em>(behind the Imaam<\/em>), then what are we being prohibited from?<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid<\/strong>: \u201cEverything besides Surah Faathihah <\/em>will be left under the prohibition. In actual fact, what I mean is that the Hadith <\/em>is stopping us from reciting anything (i.e. Surah<\/em>) after Surah Faatiha <\/em>like reading some other verse or like joining another Surah <\/em>to Surah Faatiha<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hadhrat<\/strong> Mufti Saheb<\/strong>: \u201cVery well. Let us make i\u2019itibaar<\/em> of this Hadith<\/em>. Are you familiar with the terminology of the Muhaditheen<\/em> when they mention i\u2019itibaar<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid<\/strong>: \u201cCertainly I am familiar with this terminology. I\u2019itibaar<\/em> means to accept and acknowledge something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> NO! This is not what i\u2019itibaar <\/em>means. According to the Muhadditheen,<\/em> i\u2019itibaar<\/em> means to carry out a comprehensive study in order to gather the various chains of a certain Hadith <\/em>which are recorded in the books of Hadith<\/em>. The purpose for carrying out this study is so that one may be able to keep before him the various texts of the same Hadith<\/em> and pass a correct judgement. Now, making i\u2019itibaar <\/em>of this Hadith<\/em>, we find different wordings appearing in different Ahaadith<\/em>. The following text appears in one Hadith<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u0644\u0627 \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0644\u0645\u0646 \u0644\u0645 \u064a\u0642\u0631\u0623 \u0628\u0641\u0627\u062a\u062d\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0643\u062a\u0627\u0628 \u0641\u0635\u0627\u0639\u062f\u0627<\/p>\n

There is no Salaah for the one who does not recite Surah Faatiha and something else (over and above Surah Faatiha)<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

In another text it appears:<\/p>\n

\u0641\u0645\u0627 \u0632\u0627\u062f<\/p>\n

There is no Salaah for the one who does not recite Surah Faati<\/em>ha and something additional<\/em><\/p>\n

In yet another text it appears:<\/p>\n

\u0648\u0645\u0627 \u062a\u064a\u0633\u064e\u0651\u0631<\/p>\n

There is no Salaah for the one who does not recite Surah Faatiha and <\/em>whatever else you find easy to recite.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another text reads:<\/p>\n

\u0648\u0633\u0648\u0631\u0629 \u0645\u0639\u0647\u0627<\/p>\n

There is no Salaah for the one who does not <\/em>recite Surah Faatiha coupled with another Surah.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet another text reads:<\/p>\n

\u0648\u0622\u064a\u062a\u064a\u0646 \u0645\u0639\u0647\u0627<\/p>\n

There is no Salaah for the one who does not recite Surah Faatiha and two more verses.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keeping all these texts before us, we understand that it is permissible for one to recite more than Surah Faatiha<\/em>. Now, you explain to me if this is the case, then what exactly are we not supposed to recite behind the Imaam<\/em>?<\/p>\n

If you have any reservations regarding the authenticity of these texts, I will show it to you from the original works.<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb<\/strong> continued: <\/strong>\u201cLet us leave these questions to be answered by the learned scholars. I wish to ask you another mas\u2019ala<\/em>. Tell me, if you entered the Masjid <\/em>whilst the Imaam <\/em>is in ruku\u2019<\/em>, what will you do? Will you join him in ruku\u2019<\/em> or not?<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t join him then you (being an Ahle-Hadith) will be abandoning the Hadith <\/em>which says: \u2018Join the Imaam <\/em>in whichever posture you find him in\u2019 (Musannaf Abdur Razzaaq 2\/281)<\/p>\n

And if you do join him in ruku\u2019<\/em>, then what about your Surah Faatiha<\/em>?<\/p>\n

You could recite it in ruku\u2019<\/em>, but then you will be contradicting the Hadith <\/em>which prohibits reciting Qur\u2019an in ruku\u2019<\/em> (Nasai).<\/p>\n

You could do as some of the Ahle-Hadith do i.e. despite them joining the Imaam <\/em>in ruku\u2019<\/em>, they repeat the rakaat <\/em>after the Imaam <\/em>makes salaam<\/em>. If you do accordingly, you will be abandoning the Hadith <\/em>wherein Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) <\/em>said: \u201cWho joins the Imaam <\/em>in ruku\u2019<\/em> has got the rakaat<\/em>. (Bazlul Majhood)<\/p>\n

Now tell me, how can one call himself an Ahle-Hadith when he has ignored all these Ahaadith <\/em>of Rasullullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/em>? In fact (from the Ahaadith <\/em>mentioned) he has not practised on a single Hadith<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> How do I come out of this problem? I am cornered from all sides.<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> \u201cWhat a simpleton you are! After I have cornered you from all sides, you are asking me for a way out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> \u201cIf you had found the Imaam <\/em>in ruku\u2019<\/em>, what would you do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadhrat<\/strong> Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> \u201cWhy are you now referring to me? Has your stock of Ahaadith <\/em>depleated? And if I do tell you, will you go by what I say?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> (Silent)<\/em><\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> \u201cIf I do tell you, will you promise to adopt taqleed <\/em>as we do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> \u201cPlease don\u2019t entangle me with your arguments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> \u201cYou have become so entangled, as if there is no way out of it. As for me, I would simply refer the matter to Hadhrat Imaam <\/em>Abu Hanifa. I would go up to him and say: \u201cHadhrat! I am cornered from all sides, please show me a way out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Imaam Abu Hanifa would say: \u201cSon! The Hadith <\/em>is explicit: \u201cIn whichever posture you find the Imaam<\/em>, join him.\u201d Son! Follow the Hadith <\/em>and go directly into ruku\u2019<\/em>, for it is impermissible to contradict the Hadith<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, understand O my son! The Hadith <\/em>has prohibited us from reciting Qur\u2019an during ruku\u2019<\/em>. Hence do not recite Surah Faatiha <\/em>in the state of ruku’<\/em>, for indeed it is a grave offence to contradict the Hadith<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And my dear son! The Hadith <\/em>says: Who joins the Imaam <\/em>in ruku\u2019<\/em>, has got the rakaat<\/em>. So regard that rakaat <\/em>as counted and do not repeat it. Otherwise you will be committing a serious crime by ignoring the Hadith<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I will then enquire: \u201cO Imam Saheb! What about the Hadith<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u0644\u0627 \u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0644\u0645\u0646 \u0644\u0645 \u064a\u0642\u0631\u0623 \u0628\u0641\u0627\u062a\u062d\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0643\u062a\u0627\u0628<\/p>\n

There is no Salaah for he who does not recite Surah Faatiha.<\/em><\/p>\n

Imam Abu Hanifa would reply:<\/p>\n

\u201cSon! This Hadith <\/em>refers to the one who is not behind an Imaam<\/em>, e.g. someone who is performing Salaah<\/em> alone or this Hadith<\/em> refers to the Imaam <\/em>himself.<\/p>\n

If the Imaam <\/em>or the one performing Salaah<\/em> alone does not recite Surah Faatiha<\/em>, the Salaah <\/em>will not be complete.<\/p>\n

As for the one following the Imaam<\/em>, then there are other Ahaadith <\/em>relating to him. For example the narration which says:<\/p>\n

\u0625\u0630\u0627 \u0642\u0631\u0623 \u0641\u0623\u0646\u0635\u062a\u0648\u0627<\/p>\n

When the Imaam recites then remain silent. (Muslim)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u0645\u0646 \u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0644\u0647 \u0625\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0641\u0642\u0631\u0627\u0621\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0644\u0647 \u0642\u0631\u0627\u0621\u0629<\/p>\n

Who has an Imaam, the recitation of his Imaam will be sufficient for him (Hence there is no need for him to recite anything behind the Imaam). (Tabraani, Dara Qutni, Ibne Majah \u2026 See Bazlul Majhood)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0636\u0627\u0645\u0646<\/p>\n

The Imaam is made responsible for the entire congregation. (Tirmizi)<\/em><\/p>\n

After all, there must be something which the Imaam <\/em>has taken responsibility of.<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> The narrator of that Hadith <\/em>is a kazzaab <\/em>(liar).<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb: <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u0625\u0630\u0627 \u0642\u0631\u0623 \u0641\u0623\u0646\u0635\u062a\u0648\u0627<\/p>\n

When the Imaam recites then remain silent. (Muslim)<\/em><\/p>\n

This Hadith is a Hadith <\/em>narrated by Imaam Muslim in Muslim Shareef. How dare you find fault with the narrator?<\/p>\n

Anyway, who is this narrator? Let me make a note of him. Who knows, he might appear in one of your proofs and I will use it against you.<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> There\u2019s nothing wrong with this Hadith<\/em>. I was referring to the other Hadith<\/em> which says:<\/p>\n

\u0645\u0646 \u0643\u0627\u0646 \u0644\u0647 \u0625\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0641\u0642\u0631\u0627\u0621\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0644\u0647 \u0642\u0631\u0627\u0621\u0629<\/p>\n

Who has an Imaam, the recitation of his Imaam will be sufficient for him (Hence there is no need for him to recite anything behind the Imaam). (Tabraani, Dara Qutni, Ibne Majah \u2026 See Bazlul Majhood)<\/em><\/p>\n

In this narration there is a kazzaab <\/em>(liar).<\/p>\n

Hadhrat<\/strong> Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> \u201cAnd who is this kazzaab narrator<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> \u201cJaabir Ju’fi\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> \u201cAnd which Muhaddith<\/em> ruled Jaabir Jufi as a kazzaab<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> \u201cAbu Hanifa\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadhrat<\/strong> Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> Subhanallah! You mean you are actually relying upon what our Imaam Abu Hanifa said regarding a narrator of Hadith<\/em>! This is fantastic. For years people have been saying Abu Hanifa does not know Hadith<\/em>. Today, it pleases me to hear from your mouth that Imaam Abu Hanifa was well acquainted with Hadith<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In fact, from your statement we also learn that Imaam Abu Hanifa must have written a book on Hadith <\/em>in which he discussed at length the narrators of Hadith<\/em>. Would you be kind enough to quote the book wherein Imaam Abu Hanifa had recorded this?<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> (Silent)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Azaan of Asr was then called out and the Ghair Muqallid got up and started leaving.<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb:<\/strong> \u201cJoin us Hanafees<\/em> for one Salaah <\/em>at least. You may by all means recite behind the Imaam if you wish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghair Muqalllid:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m in a hurry. I have some important work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadhrat Mufti Saheb: \u201cWell then listen to this Hadith <\/em>before you leave. It appears in the narration of Sihah (authentic narrations) that whenever Shaytaan <\/em>hears the Azaan <\/em>he runs away whilst passing wind. (Bukhari, Muslim and Mishkaat)<\/p>\n

The furthest distance the voice of the Muazzin <\/em>reaches, all objects within that range be it the stones, sand, etc., will bear testimony for him on the Day of Judgement. Shaytaan <\/em>therefore escapes out of fear that his name will be enlisted amongst those who will intercede for the Muazzin<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At the same time, another Hadith <\/em>says:<\/p>\n

\u0645\u0646 \u062a\u0634\u0628\u0647 \u0628\u0642\u0648\u0645 \u0641\u0647\u0648 \u0645\u0646\u0647\u0645<\/p>\n

He who imitates a nation; he will be counted from amongst them (Mishkaat)<\/em><\/p>\n

Hence, (after hearing the Azaan<\/em>) if you are going to leave in this manner without performing Salaah<\/em>, you will be resembling Shaytaan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Awjazul Masaalik<\/em>\u2019 quotes the statement of Imaam Maalik:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn wudhu<\/em>, use your hand to clean your nose. Do not blow your nose in a manner which resembles the snorting of a donkey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hence you should not resemble Shaytaan <\/em>by leaving without performing Salaah<\/em>.<\/p>\n
