Asl Sifat Salat al-NabiNasir al-Din al-Albani
  1. The Night Prayer

At times the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would recite it aloud, and at other times he would recite it softly (*). Sometimes he kept the recitation brief, sometimes he lengthened it, and on occasion he prolonged it to an exceptional degree. Ibn Masʿūd said:

“I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ one night, and he remained standing so long that I nearly contemplated something improper.” It was asked, “What did you contemplate?” He replied, “I thought of sitting down and leaving the Prophet ﷺ standing.” (2)

many times over; hence what he actually did was light in comparison with a prayer longer than that, and his established practice remains the decisive standard in every point of dispute. This is confirmed by the report narrated by al-Nasaʾi and others from Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him): “The Messenger of Allah used to command us to shorten the prayer, and he would lead us with Surah al-Saffat.” Reciting al-Saffat, therefore, is part of the lightening he enjoined. I say: the isnad of this Ibn ʿUmar hadith is sound (hasan), and I have already discussed it under the heading “Recitation in Fajr.” The hadith also contains other benefits recorded by al-Nawawi in his commentary on Sahih Muslim and by Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Bari; whoever wishes may consult them. (*) For its full documentation see above, p. 419; it is likewise supported by the forthcoming hadith of Hudhayfah. (2) Reported by al-Bukhari, 3/14–15; Muslim, 2/186; and Ahmad, 1/385, through several chains from al-Aʿmash via Abu Waʾil. It was also narrated by al-Bayhaqi, 3/8.
٦- صلاة الليل وكان ﷺ ﴿ربما جهر بالقراءة فيها، وربما أسرَّ (*) ﴾ ؛ يقصر القراءة فيها تارة، ويطيلها أحياناً، ويبالغ في إطالتها أحياناً أخرى، حتى قال ابن مسعود: " صليت مع النبي ﷺ ليلة، فلم يزل قائماً حتى هَمَمْتُ بأمر سوء! قيل: وما هَمَمْتَ؟! قال: هَمَمْتُ أن أقعد وأَذَرَ النبيَّ ﷺ " (٢) .
مضاعفة؛ فهي خفيفة بالنسبة إلى أطولَ منها، وهديه الذي كان واظب عليه هو الحاكمُ على كل ما تنازع فيه المتنازعون. ويدل عليه ما رواه النسائي وغيره عن ابن عمر ﵁ قال: كان رسول الله ﷺ يأمرنا بالتخفيف، وَيؤُمُّنَا بـ: ﴿الصَّافَّاتِ﴾ . فالقراءة بـ: ﴿الصَّافَّاتِ﴾ من التخفيف الذي كان يأمر به ". قلت: وحديث ابن عمر هذا إسناده حسن، وقد سبق الكلام عليه في (القراءة في الفجر) . وفي الحديث فوائد أخرى ذكرها النووي في " شرح مسلم "، والحافظ في " الفتح ". فليراجعها من شاء. (*) انظر تخريجه فيما سبق (ص ٤١٩) ، وكذلك يُستدل له بحديث حذيفة الآتي. (٢) أخرجه البخاري (٣/١٤ - ١٥) ، ومسلم (٢/١٨٦) ، وأحمد (١/٣٨٥) من طرق عن الأعمش عن أبي وائل عنه. ورواه البيهقي (٣/٨) .
