The Ruling of Takbeer (Saying Allahu Akbar) from Surat Al-Duha to the End of the Koran – By Sheikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baz

[Abu.Husam.Mouhanad]

حكم التكبير من سورة الضحى إلى آخر المصحف – للشيخ الوالد عبد العزيز بن عبد الله بن باز رحمه الله


هل ثبت التكبير من سورة الضحى إلى آخر القرآن؟

لم يثبت ذلك عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كما صرح بذلك الحافظ ابن كثير رحمه الله في أول تفسير سورة الضحى، ولكن ذلك عادة جرى عليها بعض القراءة لحديث ضعيف ورد في ذلك، فالأولى ترك ذلك؛ لأن العبادات لا تثبت بالأحاديث الضعيفة. والله الموفق

The Ruling of Takbeer (Saying Allahu Akbar) from Surat Al-Duha to the End of the Koran – By Sheikh Abdul Azeez Bin Baz

Translated by: Abu Husam Assalafi

Question:

Is it legislated to say takbeer [to say Allahu Akbar - Allah is greater] from Surat Al-Duha [chapter 93] to the end of the Quran [between the Suar - chapters]?

Answer:

This is not proven from the prophet (peace be upon him), as Al-Hafiz Ibn Katheer (may allah have mercy on him) stated in the beginning of his interpretation of Surat Al-Duha [chapter 93]. However, some reciters are accustomed to doing so based on a weak Hadeeth. Therefore, it is better (1) to leave this habit for acts of worship cannot be based on weak Ahadeeth.

(1) The meaning is “it is a must to leave this habit” but the statement “better” can be used to compare something that is good to something that is completely evil – with no goodness in it. For example Allah (subhannah wa ta’alah) said: ((أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا)) meaning: ((The Companions of the Garden will be better, that Day, in their abode, and have the fairest of places for repose)) (Al-Furqan 25 : 24). However, there is no goodness in the place or adobe of the people of hellfire.
