Comments:
Several variations of supplication are reported to have been recited from
time to time by the Prophet a,
after saying the introductory Takbir (Alllihu
Akbar) for the prayer. We are free to recite any of these. It is, however,
preferable to vary our supplications off and on.

a. '(0All&!) Distance me from my sins' means: Protect me (or us) through
Your mercy from all sins and, not to speak o committing the sins, enable us
f
to avoid even going close to the sins.
b. Sins are likened to f l h and d r n ~ a is why extreme purity has been
it it t
likened to white garments.
c.. Sins push one to the Hell-fire They give discomfort to the soul, just as the
physical body feels discomfort from the heat. That is why, in order to
cleanse the sins and give quietude to the soul, things prayed for by the
Prophet (s) also cool by their very nature.

b. Nafth literally means to emit a puff or breath from the mouth. Here, it
applies to obscene songs or erotic and vulgar lines of poetry inspired by
Satan.
c. Naj%h means to blow fmm the mouth or breathe into something in order to
inflate it. In the context o the Hadith it means the feeling of vanity and

pride.

Comments:
a. There is no b m in reciting aloud a Verse or a word of the Win in the
otherwise 'inaudible' prayer.
b. It could be that by reciting a part of the Qur'in in this manner the kophet
(s) wanted to convey the message to the Companions that wen in the
prayer of inaudible recitation, any part of the Qur'h can be recited after
Al-Fitihah. And All& knows best.

a. Jubair bin Mut'im 4s was on the side of the idolaters in the baffle of Badr
and was taken prisoner along with other infidels by the Muslims. It was
during this period in Al-Madinah that he heard the Prophet recite the
Qur.211 in the prayer of Maghrib.
b. "It was as if my heart were about to take flight." In simple words it means
that the words of the Qur'Sn made such a powerful impact on my heart
that I felt an uncontrollable urge to accept Islam

While reciting the Qur'ik, effort should be made to recite it as melodiously
as one can. However, any resemblance to singing a song, or giving it a
touch of music, must be avoided.

a. Mu'idh bin Jabal *,
baving offired the 'Isha^'prayer behind the Prophet %
used to lead the prayer in the mosque o his locality. In a situation like this,
f
when this prayer was conducted even after the prayer in the Prophet's
Mosque, lengthy recitation made it burdensome for the people, so much so
that some of the people brought the complaint to the Prophet #g. The
Prophet g, therefore, admonished Mu'idk (Snhih Muslim:178)
b. The ImJm must show consideration to the people who are weak or have
other needs to fulfill.
c. In case of a grievance against someone, it does not fall under the category
