Excellence
of Durūd Sharīf
The Prophet of Raḥmaĥ, the
intercessor of Ummaĥ, the owner of Jannaĥ صَلَّى
اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, 'The one who
recites Durūd Sharīf upon me hundred times on the day and night of Friday,
Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ will fulfill his
hundred needs; seventy of the Hereafter and thirty of the world.'
(Tārīkh-e-Dimishq la
bin Asakar, vol. 54, pp. 301)
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبِيْب — صَلَّى اللّٰہ
تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
Heart
will Remain Alive
The Prophet of mankind, the peace of
our heart and mind, the most generous and kind صَلَّى
اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: "Anyone
who did Qiyām (i.e. performed worship) at the night of Eids (Eid-ul-Fiṭr and
Eid-ul-Aḍḥā) in order to earn Šawāb, his heart will not die on the day when
hearts of the people will die."
(Sunan Ibn-e-Mājaĥ,
vol. 2, pp. 365, Ḥadīš 1782)
* Ḥanafi
Entry
into Heaven becomes Wājib
The narration on the part of
Sayyidunā Mu'āż bin Jabal رَضِیَ اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَنْه
says, 'The one spending the following five nights worshipping Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ, will surely enter the Heaven: the nights
of the 8th, 9th, and 10th Żil-Ḥajjaĥ (3 nights), the night of Eid-ul-Fiṭr, and
the 15th night of Sha'bān
(Shab-e-Barā'at).'
(Attarghīb Wattarhīb, vol. 2, pp. 98, Ḥadīš 2)
A
Sunnaĥ Prior to Proceeding for Eid Ṣalāĥ
Sayyidunā Buraīdaĥ رَضِیَ اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَنْه states, "On the day of Eid-ul-Fiṭr,
the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would go to offer Eid Ṣalāh after eating
something while, on Eid-ul-Aḍḥā, he صَلَّى اللّٰہ
تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would not eat anything unless he صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
had offered Eid-Ṣalāh."
(Tirmiżī, Ḥadīš 542,
vol. 2, pp. 70)
Similarly, in Bukhārī Sharīf, there
is another Ḥadīš narrated by Sayyidunā Anas رَضِیَ
اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَنْه, "On the day of Eid-ul-Fiṭr, the
beloved and blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی
عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would not go until he صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم ate a few dates in
odd numbers."
(Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, Ḥadīš
953, vol. 1, pp. 328)
A
Sunnaĥ of Heading to Offer Eid Ṣalāĥ and Returning after it
It is narrated by Sayyidunā Abū
Ĥurairaĥ رَضِیَ اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَنْه
that the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would go to offer Eid Ṣalāh from one path
and would return from the other one.
(Tirmiżī, Ḥadīš 541,
vol. 2, pp. 69)
Method
of offering Eid Ṣalāĥ (Ḥanafi)
First make the following intention:
"I intend to offer two Rak'āt Ṣalāh of Eid-ul-Fiṭr (or Eid-ul-Aḍḥā) with
six additional Takbīrāt, for the sake of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ
following this Imām."
Having made the intention, raise the
hands up to the ears, utter اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَر
and then fold the hands below the navel and recite the Šanā. Then raise your
hands to your ears, utter اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَر
and leave them at sides; then raise hands to ears again, utter اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَر and leave them at sides; then raise hands
to ears once again, utter اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَر
and fold them. In short, hands will be folded after first and fourth Takbīr
while they will be left at sides after second and third Takbīr. In other words,
hands will be folded when something is to be recited in Qiyām after Takbīr,
while they will be left at sides when nothing is to be recited. Then; the Imām
is to recite Ta'aw-wuż and Tasmiyaĥ in low voice whereas Sūraĥ Fātiḥaĥ and
another Sūraĥ will be recited loudly. Thereafter, he will perform Rukū'. In the
second Rak'at, the Imām is to first recite Sūraĥ Fātiḥaĥ and another Sūraĥ
aloud.
After the recitation, the Imām as
well as all the followers will utter three Takbīrāt (the Imām would utter
loudly and the followers in low voice) raising their hands to the ears each
time and leaving them at sides; then Rukū' will be performed with the fourth
Takbīr without raising hands and the rest of the Ṣalāh will be completed as per
usual method. Standing silent between every two Takbīrāt for the amount of time
in which سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰہ can be uttered thrice
is necessary.'
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at,
vol. 1, pp. 781; Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 3, pp. 61 etc.)
For
whom Eid Ṣalāĥ is Wājib?
The Ṣalāh of both Eids (i.e.
Eid-ul-Fiṭr and Eid-ul-Aḍḥā) is Wājib. However, it is to be noted that Eid
Ṣalāh is not Wājib for everyone, instead, it is Wājib only for such people for
whom Jumu'aĥ Ṣalāh is Wājib. Further, neither Azan nor Iqāmat is uttered for
both Eid's Ṣalāh.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at,
vol. 1, pp. 779; Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 3, pp. 51)
The
Sermon of Eid is Sunnaĥ
The pre-conditions for the offering
of Jumu'aĥ Ṣalāh apply for the Eid Ṣalāh as well. The only difference lies in
Sermon which is a precondition for Jumu'aĥ Ṣalāh whereas it is a Sunnaĥ for the
Eid Ṣalāh. Similarly, the Sermon of Jumu'aĥ Ṣalāh is delivered before the Ṣalāh
while that of the Eid Ṣalāh is delivered after the Ṣalāh.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at,
vol. 1, pp. 779; 'Alamgīrī, vol. 1, pp. 150)
The
Time of Eid Ṣalāĥ
The time of both Eid's Ṣalāh starts
20 minutes after sunrise and continues till Niṣf-un-Naĥār-e-Shar'ī. However, it
is Mustaḥab to delay Eid-ul-Fiṭr Ṣalāh and offer Eid-ul-Aḍḥā Ṣalāh early.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, V1, P781;
Durr-e-Mukhtār, V3, P60)
What
to do if Somebody Misses a Part of the Eid Jamā'at?
If someone joins the Jamā'at in the
first Rak'at after the Imām has uttered the Takbīrāt, then he should utter the
three Takbīrāt (other than the Takbīr-e-Taḥrīmaĥ) instantly, even the Imām may
have commenced recitation. Utter three Takbīrāt only, even though the Imām said
more than three Takbīrāt. If the Imām bent for Rukū' before you uttered
Takbīrāt, then don't utter them in a standing posture, instead, perform Rukū'
with the Imām and utter the Takbīrāt in the Rukū'. However, if the Imām is in
Rukū' and you think that you can utter the Takbīrāt before you join the Imām in
Rukū', then utter them whilst you are standing, otherwise, utter اَللّٰہُ اَکْبَر, perform Rukū' and then utter the Takbīrāt
in the Rukū'. If the Imām raises his head from Rukū' before you finish the
Takbīrāt in Rukū' then do not utter the remaining Takbīrāt; they are no longer
required.
If you joined the Jamā'at after the
Imām had performed the Rukū' then do not utter the Takbīrāt, utter them when
you offer the remaining part of your Ṣalāh (after the Imām has performed
Salām). Do not raise your hands when uttering the missed Takbīrāt in Rukū'.
If you join the Jamā'at in the
second Rak'at, then don't utter the missed Takbīrāt of the first Rak'at now,
instead, utter them when you perform the remaining part of your Ṣalāh.
Likewise, if you succeed in uttering the Takbīrāt of the second Rak'at with the
Imām, its all right, otherwise, the same ruling as mentioned above with regard
to the first Rak'at would apply.
