…From here let us move on to refer to some of the issues that have been the source of differing for a long time, issues related to some fiqh rulings between the Hanafees and Shaafi’ees. One side would bring a proof regarding something that happened in the time of the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam<\/em>). The other side would refute that, saying that there is no clear indication in the report that what happened was made known to the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam<\/em>), it does not say that he was informed about it and approved of it. This reply that some of the people of the math-habs<\/em> gave is refuted by that which has preceded in our discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me give you an example or two. As found in Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree<\/em>, Mu’aath ibn Jabal (may Allaah be pleased with him) used to pray the last prayer (of the day), the ‘Eshaa’<\/em> prayer, behind the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam<\/em>) in his masjid<\/em>. Then he used to go to his tribe and lead them in ‘Eshaa’<\/em> prayer as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the narrators of the hadeeth, Jaabir ibn ‘Abdillaah (may Allaah be pleased with him), said, “It was an optional prayer for him, and it was their obligatory prayer.”<\/em> Some of the early imaams used this as a proof to say that it is permissible for a person to pray his obligatory prayer behind someone praying an optional prayer. So some of the people of the math-habs<\/em> used to refute this, saying that there is no proof in this, as there is no mention that the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam<\/em>) knew that Mu’aath was returning to his people to pray with them after praying with him – an optional prayer for him, and their obligatory prayer. I think you all know the answer now.<\/span><\/p>\n

For if we say that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam<\/em>) truly did not know that Mu’aath was repeating this prayer optionally, then our Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, as I have said previously, knows the secret and hidden affairs. So if this action of Mu’aath was something not legislated, then the ruling would have come down from the Heavens clarifying that this is something not from the Sharee’ah<\/em>…<\/span><\/p>\n
