Azami 2107

Bayhaqi narrated it (2/135) through the hadith of Kamil bin Talha, who said, Hammad bin Salama narrated to us, from Azraq, and he related it. Its chain is hasan because of Kamil bin Talha, who is al-Jahdari, for there is no harm in him, and his hadith is hasan.Bayhaqi said, We have related from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, that he used to lean on his hands when rising, and Hasan and more than one of the Followers used to do likewise. And his statement, "But this is an indication of the raising."As for what Tabarani related in Awsat (4019) through the hadith of Yunus bin Bukayr, who said, Haytham bin Alqama narrated to us, from Atiya bin Qays bin Thalaba, from Azraq bin Qays, who said, I saw Abdullah bin Umar kneading in prayer, leaning on his hands when he stood up. I said, "What is this, Abu Abdul-Rahman?" He said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kneading in prayer, meaning leaning." His statement "kneading" is rejected.Tabarani said, "No one related this hadith from Azraq except Haytham, and Yunus bin Bukayr related it alone." I say, Yunus bin Bukayr is disputed, but his hadith is hasan. But his teacher Haytham bin Alqama is unknown, and no one corroborated him regarding his statement "kneading."This has also been related from Ibn Abbas, "that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he stood up in his prayer, would place his hands on the ground just as one kneading dough places his hands." Ibn Salah said, in his comments on Wasit, "This hadith is not sahih, it is not known, and it is not permissible to cite it as evidence." Nawawi said in Sharh Muhazzab, "This is a daif hadith, or baseless with no foundation." The Hafiz mentioned it in Talkhis (392) (1/423) and spoke about it at length, so it should be consulted.As for leaning on the hands while rising, Malik and Shafii said, the sunnah is to lean on the hands while rising, because Malik bin Huwayrith described the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Then he leaned on the ground." This is as Ibn Qudama mentioned it in Mughni (1/213–214).As for Imam Ahmad, it was related from him that he does not lean on his hands whether he sits the sitting of rest or does not sit. End.Ibn Hani said, "I asked Abu Abdullah, does a man rise on his hands in prayer? He said, He does not rise on his hands unless he is an elderly man, in which case he may rise on his hands, otherwise let him rise on the front of his feet." Then he said, "I saw Abu Abdullah" (meaning Imam Ahmad) "sometimes lean on his hands when he stood up in the last rakat, and sometimes he would sit up straight and then rise." Masail Imam Ahmad (1/54).Nawawi said in Sharh Muhazzab (3/444), We have already mentioned that our position is that it is recommended to stand up leaning on the hands, and Ibn Munzir related this from Ibn Umar, Makhul, Umar bin Abdul-Aziz, Ibn Abu Zakariya, Qasim bin Abdul-Rahman, Malik, and Ahmad.As for what was related from Abu Hurairah, who said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to rise in prayer on the front of his feet," it is daif. Tirmidhi narrated it (288) from Yahya bin Musa, who said, Abu Muawiya narrated to us, who said, Khalid bin Ilyas narrated to us, from Salih the freed slave of Tawama, from Abu Hurairah, and he related the same. He said, "Khalid bin Ilyas is daif according to the people of hadith, and he is also called Khalid bin Iyas." Bayhaqi said (2/124), "Khalid bin Ilyas, also called Iyas, who is daif, related from Salih the freed slave of Tawama, from Abu Hurairah, and he related the same, and he said, The hadith of Malik bin Huwayrith is more sahih." End.The Hafiz said in Fath (2/303), And with Saeed bin Mansur, with a daif chain, from Abu Hurairah, and he related the same, and he said, And from Ibn Masud the same, with a sahih chain. End. I say, the report of Ibn Masud was related by Bayhaqi (2/125), who said, It is sahih from Ibn Masud, but following the sunnah is preferable.Likewise the hadith of Waail bin Hajar, who said, I saw the Prophet ﷺ, when he prostrated, put his knees down before his hands, and when he rose, he raised his hands before his knees, is also daif. See its documentation in the chapter on going down into sujud.From Mughira bin Hakeem, that he saw Abdullah bin Umar returning between the two prostrations in prayer on the front of his feet, and when he finished, this was mentioned to him, and he said, This is not part of the sunnah of prayer, I only do this because I have a complaint. Malik narrated it in al-Salah (50), from Sadaqa bin Yasar, from Mughira bin Hakeem, with the same wording.
