Best of you

6. "The best of mankind is my generation, then those that follow them and then those that follow them. Then there shall come a people after them who will become avaricious, who will love gluttony, and who will give witness before they are asked for it." [Tirmidhî, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

20. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “He who is victorious over his passion at the time of anger is the strongest among you. He who forgives having the power to release (his anger and take revenge) is the most patient among you.” (a-Baihaqi in Shu’ab al-Imaan)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Pronouncing the Intention for Prayer is an Innovation

 


Question:

What is the ruling on pronouncing the intention to pray aloud?
Answer:

Pronouncing the intention is an innovation, and pronouncing it aloud is an even worse sin. The Sunnah only calls for the intention to be made in the heart, because Allaah, the Most Glorified, Most High knows what is secret and what is hidden, for He says: Say Will you inform Allaah of your religion while Allaah knows all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth...? [1] And pronouncing the intention has not been authentically reported from the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam), nor from his Companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, nor from the scholars who came after them. From this it is understood that it is not lawful indeed, it is an innovation and a novelty. And Allaah is the Granter of success.
[1] Al-Hujurat 49:16.
