Notes

• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَلِيٍّ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَاخْتَارَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْ لاَ يُفْصَلَ فِي الأَرْبَعِ قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ وَاحْتَجَّ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ وَمَعْنَى أَنَّهُ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُنَّ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ يَعْنِي التَّشَهُّدَ وَرَأَى الشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ صَلاَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى يَخْتَارَانِ الْفَصْلَ فِي الأَرْبَعِ قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ

  machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: On this topic there are also narrations from Ibn ʿUmar and ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr. Abū ʿĪsā said: The ḥadīth of ʿAlī is a good (ḥasan) ḥadīth. Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm preferred that no separation be made in the four [rakʿahs] before ʿAṣr, and he used this ḥadīth as evidence. Isḥāq said: The meaning of "he would separate between them with the salutation" is the tashahhud. Al-Shāfiʿī and Aḥmad held that the night and day prayers are two [rakʿahs] by two, and they preferred separation in the four [rakʿahs] before ʿAṣr. Report a problem
