70. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us from Hammad that Ibrahim said, 'We often used to come to the two Ids without having taken a ghusl, and he said, 'If you take a ghusl, it is good.'"
71. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us saying, 'Aban narrated to us from Abu Nadrah from Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari رضي الله عنه from the Prophet (salallahu 'alahyi wa sallam) that he said, "Whoever takes a ghusl on the day of Jumu'ah has done well, but whoever does not take a ghusl and [suffices himself with wudu] it is fine."'"
Muhammad said, "We adhere to all of this and it is the verdict of Abu Hanifa, may Allah, exalted is He, have mercy on him."
24. BEGINNING THE PRAYER, RAISING THE HANDS AND PROSTRATING ON THE TURBAN
72. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us from Hammad from Ibrahim that some of the people of Basra came to Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه only for the purpose of asking him about the beginning of the prayer. He said, 'So Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عنه stood and began the prayer with them behind him, and then recited aloud saying, "Glorious are You, O Allah and with your praise, and blessed is Your name, exalted is Your Majesty and there is no god other than You,"'" (The normal Thana)
Muhammad said, "We adhere to this in the beginning of the prayer, but we do not think that the Imam should recite aloud nor those behind him. Umar رضي الله عنه only recited aloud in order to teach them that which they had asked him."
74. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us from Hammad that Ibrahim said, 'Whoever does not say Takbir in the beginning of the Prayer is not in prayer.
Muhammad said, "We adhere to this except if he says takbir for going into the bowing posture but says it while standing erect and intends by it to enter into prayer in which case it suffices him, and that is the verdict of Abu Hanifa, may Allah, exalted is He, have mercy on him."
75. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us saying, 'Uthman ibn Abdullah ibn Mawhab narrated to us htat he prayed behind Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه who used to say takbir every time he prostrated and every time he lifted him self up.'"
Muhammad said, "We adhere to this and it is the verdict of Abu Hanifa."
77. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us from Hammad that Ibrahim said, 'Someone who prayed (Alqamah ibn Qays) beside Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضي الله عنهinformed me that he had been eager to hear his voice but could only hear him saying, "My Lord increase me in knowledge," which he repeated over and over again and so the man thought he was reciting Ta Ha.'"
Muhammad said "This is in the prayer during the daytime, and so we see no harm in it if a man remains on some portion of the Quran as such as this, supplicating for himself in optional extra rakahs. But as for the obligatory prayer, then no [we do not think he should do so].
78. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us saying, "Bilal narrated to us from Wahb ibn Kaysan that Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari رضي الله عنه said, "The Messenger of Allah (salallahu 'alahyi wa sallam) used to teach us the tashahhud and the saying of takbir* in the prayer just as he would teach us a surah of the Quran."'"
*In every act of lowering oneself down and raising oneself up. The tashahhud of ibn Masud رضي الله عنه is very well known and acted upon.
79. Muhammad said, Abu Hanifa informed us from Hammad from Ibrahim that he [Hammad] said, 'I said, "Should I say, 'In the name of Allah?" (before reciting the tashahhud) but he [Ibrahim] said, "Say, 'Greetings are for Allah.'"'"
Muhammad said, "We adhere to this. We do not think that even a letter should be added into the tashahhud or taken away from it, and that it is the verdict of Abu Hanifa, may Allah, exalted is He, have mercy on him."
80. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us from Hammad that Ibrahim said, 'They used to say the Tashahhud at the time of the Messenger of Allah (salallahu 'alahyi wa sallam) and say in their tashahhud, "Peace be upon Allah," and so the Prophet (salallahu 'alahyi wa sallam) finished one one day, turned to face them, and said to them, "Do not sy , 'Peace be upon Allah,' Allah is Peace. Rather say, 'Peace be upon us and upon the right acting slaves of Allah.'"'"
Muhammad said, "We adhere to this and this is the verdict of Abu Hanifa, may Allah, exalted is He, have mercy on him."
27. RECITING, "IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE ALL MERCIFUL, THE MOST MERCIFUL" ALOUD
81. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us saying, 'Sufyan narrated to us from Yazid ibn Abdullah that his father said that he prayed behind an Imam who recited 'In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful' aloud and when he finished he said to him, "Slave of Allah! dispense with these words of yours, because I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (salallahu 'alahyi wa sallam), behind Abu Bakr, Umar and behind Uthman رضي الله عنه, and I did not hear these [words] from them."'"
82. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us from Hammad that Ibrahim said, 'Ibn Masud رضي الله عنه said concerning a man who recited "In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful" aloud [in the prayer], that it is the practice of hte desert Arabs and that he did not use to recite it aloud nor did any of his companions.'"
Muhammad said, "We adhere to this and it is the verdict of Abu Hanifa, may Allah, exalted is He, have mercy on him."
83. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us from Hammad that Ibrahim said, 'There are four things with which the Imam lowers his voice, "Glorious are You, O Allah and with Your praise, [and blessed is your name, exalted is Your majesty and there is no go other than You,]" the seeking refuge from shaytan, "In the name of Allah, theAll-Merciful, the Most Merciful", and the Aameen.'"
Muhammad said, "We adhere to this and it is the verdict of Abu Hanifa, may Allah, exalted is He, have mercy on him."
84. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us saying, 'Hammad narrated to us that Ibrahim said, "When he was behind the Imam, Alqamah ibn Qays never recited the Umm al-Quran [Fatihah] nor anything else in that which the recitation was aloud or in that in which the recitaion was not aloud, nor in the laast two rak'ahs"'"
Muhammad said, "We adhere to this. We do not think that one should recite behind the Imam in part of the prayer wether or not he recites aloud."
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
