CHAPTER: Sitting In The Iq’a Position Between The Two Prostrations.
Tawus said: we asked Ibn Abbas about sitting on heels between the two prostrations. He said: It is the sunnah. We said: We look upon it as a pressure on the foot. He said: This is the sunnah of your Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم
Abu Saeed Al-Khuri said: When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: “ Allah listens to him who praises Him, ” he also said: O Allah, our Lord, to thee be the praise in all heavens. Mu’ammil said ( in his version); “ In all the heavens, and in all the earth, and in all that it pleases Thee to create afterwards. O thou Who art worthy of praise and glory, most worthy of what a servant says, and we are all thy servants, no one can withhold what thou givest or give what Thou withholdest. “The narrators then were agreed on the words: “And riches cannot avail a wealthy person with Thee. ”
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: When the Imam says: “Allah listens to him who praised Him, ” say: “O Allah, our lord, to Thee be the praise, “ for if what anyone says synchronises with what the angels say, he will be forgiven his past sins.
Amir said: The people behind the imam should not say: “Allah listens to him who praises Him. ” But they should say: “ Our Lord, to Thee be the praise. ”
