Qāʿidah fī al-Bāqiyāt al-Ṣāliḥāt - Ibn Taimiya - (18)

2- We have already dealt with the meanings of these four phrases in other passages (1).

3- What matters here is this: tasbīḥ (declaring Allah’s transcendence) is paired with taḥmīd (praising Him), and tahlīl (affirming His oneness) is paired with takbīr (magnifying His greatness).

Glorifying Him with His praise in the Quran

4- Allah, exalted is He, mentions “glorifying Him with His praise” in several places:

5- as in the statement of the angels: “while we glorify You with praise” (al-Baqarah 2:30);

6- and His words: “Those who bear the Throne and those around it proclaim the glory of their Lord with praise” (Ghāfir 40:7);

7- and His words: “So glorify your Lord with praise before the rising of the sun and before its setting” (Ta-Hā 20:130);

8- and His words: “And glorify your Lord with praise when you rise” (aṭ-Ṭūr 52:48).

Prayer includes glorifying Him with His praise

9- There is no doubt that the prescribed prayer contains the very glorification with praise that He has commanded.

10- The Prophet ﷺ clarified this in the well-known, mutually agreed-upon hadith of Jarir (2):

(1) See: Ibn Taymiyya, Majmu al-Fatawa, 12/67; 16/112, 116; 17/169; 19/120; 22/389; 24/231. (2) Al-Bukhari, no. 554; Muslim, no. 633 (211). The phrase la tudamuna is recited with a damma on the first consonant and without gemination, meaning that you will suffer no hardship at that moment. Another recension reads it with a fatha and with gemination, deriving from the root dhamma; in that case it denies the idea of crowding—i.e. you will not jostle one another. (A) In the manuscript, both verses mistakenly open with the word fasabbih instead of the correct wasabbih.

٢- وقد ذكرنا ما يتعلق بمعانيها في مواضع (١) . ٣- والمقصود هنا أن نقول: "التسبيح" مقرون بـ"التحميد"، و"التهليل" مقرون بـ"التكبير". التسبيح بحمده سبحانه في القرآن ٤- فإن الله تعالى يذكر في غير موضع "التسبيح بحمده": ٥- كقول "الملائكة": ﴿وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ﴾ (البقرة: من الآية٣٠) . ٦- وقوله: ﴿الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ﴾ (غافر: من الآية٧) . ٧- وقوله: ﴿وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا﴾ (أ) (طه: من الآية١٣٠) . ٨- وقوله: ﴿وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ﴾ (أ) (الطور: من الآية٤٨) . الصلاة تتضمن التسبيح بحمده ٩- ولا ريب أن الصلاة الشرعية تتضمن ما أمر به من التسبيح بحمده. ١٠- كما قد بين النبي ﷺ ذلك في مثل حديث جرير المتفق عليه (٢) :

(١) راجع: "مجموع الفتاوى" (١٢/٦٧، ١٦/١١٢، ١١٦، ١٧/١٦٩، ١٩/١٢٠، ٢٢/٣٨٩، ٢٤/٢٣١) . (٢) البخاري (٥٥٤) ومسلم (٦٣٣) (٢١١) . "لا تُضَامُونَ": بضم أوله مخففا، أي لا يحصل لكم ضيم حينئذ، وروي بفتح أوله والتشديد من الضم، والمراد: نفي الازدحام. ---------- (أ) في الأصل في بداية الآيتين: (فسبح) بدل (وسبح) وهو خطأ!!
