Method
of Sajda-e-Sahw
Recite اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ
(reciting Durūd Sharīf after اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ
is preferable), perform Salām turning head towards the right side and perform
two Sujūd. Then, recite اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ,
Durūd Sharīf and Du'ā, and perform Salām (towards both the sides).
If
Sajda-e-Sahw is Missed, Then…?
If someone was to perform
Sajda-e-Sahw but he performs Salām forgetfully (without performing
Sajda-e-Sahw), he can perform Sajda-e-Sahw as long as he has not exited the
Masjid. In case of being on a ground, he can perform Sajda-e-Sahw as long as he
has not got out of Ṣaf's or has not passed ahead of the place of Sajdah.
(Durr-e-Mukhtār,
Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 2, pp. 674)
However, if any act that negates the
Bīnā (rejoining, resumption) of Ṣalāh (e.g. speaking) and invalidates the Ṣalāh
is found after the Salām, Sajda-e-Sahw can no longer be performed.
('Alamgīrī, pp. 125,
vol. 1, Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 2, pp. 654)
Sajda-e-Tilāwat
and Satan's Trouble
The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰه تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم said, "Whenever
someone recites an Āyah of Sajdah and performs Sajdah, Satan moves away and
says weeping, "I'm doomed! The son of Adam was commanded to perform Sajdah
which he did; there is Heaven for him; I was (also) commanded but I refused;
there is Hell for me."
(Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, pp. 56,
Ḥadīš 81)
اِنْ شَاۤءَاللّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ Every Desire will be Fulfilled
For the accomplishment of a desire,
if someone recites all fourteen Āyahs of Sajdah and performs Sujūd, Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ will fulfil his desire. One can recite
each Āyah and perform its Sajdah separately or recite all fourteen Ayahs
together and perform fourteen Sujūd at the end.
(Durr-e-Mukhtār,
pp. 719, vol. 2, Ghunyah, pp. 507 & others)
Eight
Madanī Pearls Regarding Sajda-e-Tilāwat
1. Sajda-e-Tilāwat becomes Wājib on
reciting or listening to an Āyah of Sajdah. In case of reciting an Āyah of
Sajdah, Sajda-e-Tilāwat will become Wājib if the voice of the reciter is loud
enough for him to hear provided there is no obstruction in his listening.
Deliberate hearing is not necessary for the hearer; Sajdah will become Wājib
even if he hears unintentionally.
(Bahār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
728, vol. 1, 'Alamgīrī, vol. 1, pp. 132)
2. Sajdah will become Wājib in case of
reading or hearing even the translation of an Āyah (of Sajdah) in any language
regardless of whether or not the hearer comprehended that it was the
translation of an Āyah of Sajdah. However, if he was unaware, it is necessary that
he may have been told that it was the translation of an Āyah of Sajdah. If the
Ayah of Sajdah was recited, it is not necessary to tell the listener that it is
the Āyah of Sajdah.
('Alamgīrī, vol. 1,
pp. 133)
3. While the recitation of the complete
Āyah is necessary for Sajda-e-Tilāwat to become Wājib, according to some
scholars of the later age, it will become Wājib even if just the root-word of
Sajdah (سجد) along with its preceding or succeeding
word is recited; therefore, it is safer to perform Sajda-e-Tilāwat in both
cases.
(Fatāwā-e-Razavīyyah,
vol. 8, pp. 229-233,)
4. In case of reciting an Āyah of
Sajdah when not offering Ṣalāh, although it is not Wājib to perform immediate
Sajdah, delaying the Sajdah is Makrūh-e-Tanzīhī provided the reciter has Wuḍū.
(Dur-re-Mukhtār, pp.
703, vol. 2)
5. In case of reciting an Āyah of
Sajdah in Ṣalāh, it is Wājib to perform Sajdah instantly. If the Muṣallī
delayed the Sajdah (i.e. if he recited more than three Ayahs) he would be a
sinner, and as long as he is in Ṣalāh or has not done any such act contrary to
Sajdah after the Salām, he should perform Sajda-e-Tilāwat and then Sajda-e-Sahw
subsequently.
(Durr-e-Mukhtār,
Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 2, pp. 704)
Beware!
Be Alert!
6. Even if someone is not participating
in Tarāwīḥ or Shabīnah in Ramaḍān or he is offering his own Ṣalāh individually,
Sajda-e-Tilāwat will still become Wājib for him in case of listening to an Āyah
of Sajdah (recited during Tarāwīḥ or Shabīnah). Similarly, Sajda-e-Tilāwat will
become Wājib in case of listening to an Āyah of Sajdah even from a disbeliever
or a minor. Furthermore, having become adult, if someone has not yet performed
Sajdahs despite hearing Ayahs of Sajdah, he has to make a conservative
calculation on safer side as to how many Sajdahs he may not have performed to
date and then perform Sajdahs accordingly in the state of Wuḍū.
Method
of Sajda-e-Tilāwat
7. Go down for Sajdah uttering اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَر from standing position and utter سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّىَ الْاَعْلٰی (in Sajdah) at least
thrice. Then, stand up uttering اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَر.
Uttering اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَر while going down for
Sajdah as well as standing from Sajdah is a Sunnah whereas both Qiyāms, i.e.
going down for Sajdah from standing position and standing from Sajdah are
Mustaḥab.
(Bahār-e-Sharī'at, pp.
731, vol. 1)
8. Sajda-e-Tilāwat does not require
raising hands at the time of uttering اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَر.
Similarly, neither Tashaĥĥud is recited nor Salām is performed for
Sajda-e-Tilāwat.
(Tanvīr-ul-Abṣār, vol.
2, pp. 700)
Sajda-e-Shukr
It is desirable to perform
Sajda-e-Shukr on getting any favour such as birth of a baby, attainment of
wealth, turning up of a lost thing, curing of a patient, returning of a
traveller and the like. Its method is exactly the same as that of
Sajda-e-Tilāwat.
('Alamgīrī, vol. 1,
pp. 136, Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 2, pp. 720)
Likewise, it is an act of Šawāb to
perform Sajda-e-Shukr on hearing any good news or getting any favour such as
the confirmation of visa to Madīnah, someone's becoming prepared to travel with
Dawat-e-Islami's Madanī Qāfilah as a result of your successful individual
effort, beholding a practising Sunnī scholar, having a blessed dream, a
religious student's passing an exam, getting rid of a calamity, the death of an
enemy of Islam etc.
Passing
across the front of a Muṣallī is a Grave Sin
1. The beloved and blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
said, "If any one knew what (harm) lies in passing across the front of his
brother offering Ṣalāh, he would stand for 100 years rather than taking that
single step."
(Sunan ibn-e-Mājah,
vol. 1, pp. 506, Hadīš 946)
2. Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā Imām Mālik رحمه الله تعالٰی عليه narrates that Ḥaḍrat
Sayyidunā Ka'b-ul-Aḥbār رحمه الله تعالٰی عليه
said, "If the person passing across the front of Muṣallī knew what sin
lies in this, he would prefer subsidence into the earth rather than
passing."
(Muwaṭṭan Imām Mālik,
vol. 1, pp. 154, Ḥadīš 371)
Though the one passing across the
front of Muṣallī is a sinner, it does not have any effect on the Ṣalāh of that
Muṣallī.
(Fatāwā-e-Razavīyyah,
vol. 7, pp. 254)
