يكبر للتراويح جالسًا ثم ينهض أثناء القراءة

He says takbeer for Taraweeh sitting, then he gets up during the recitation

السؤال: في شهر رمضان المبارك أذهب لصلاة العشاء وصلاة التراويح مع أحد القراء المشهورين ، ويطيل في القراءة في صلاة التراويح، وبين الركعتين والركعتين أجلس بعض الوقت لاستريح ، السؤال / هل يجوز لي أن أكبر مع الإمام تكبيرة الإحرام وأنا جالس في الصف حتى لاتفوتني تكبيرة الإحرام مع الإمام ، وبعد قراءة ماتيسر من القرآن أقوم واقفًا ؟،
الجواب:
الحمد لله
يجوز القعود في صلاة النافلة من غير عذر ، إجماعا ، لكن أجر القاعد حينئذ على النصف من أجر القائم ؛ لما روى مسلم (1214) عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ : حُدِّثْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ " صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ قَاعِدًا نِصْفُ الصَّلَاةِ " .
قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي جَالِسًا ، فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ، فَقَالَ " مَا لَكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو " ؟
قُلْتُ : حُدِّثْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ : صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ قَاعِدًا عَلَى نِصْفِ الصَّلَاةِ ، وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي قَاعِدًا ؟ قَالَ " أَجَلْ ؛ وَلَكِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدٍ مِنْكُم " .
فإن قعد لعذر كان له ثواب القائم .
قال النووي رحمه الله في شرح مسلم : " معناه : أن صلاة القاعد فيها نصف ثواب القائم ، فيتضمن صحتها ونقصان أجرها . وهذا الحديث محمول على صلاة النفل قاعدًا مع القدرة على القيام ، فهذا له نصف ثواب القائم . وأما إذا صلى النفل قاعدًا لعجزه عن القيام فلا ينقص ثوابه ، بل يكون كثوابه قائمًا. وأما الفرض : فإن صلاه قاعدًا مع قدرته على القيام لم يصح ، فلا يكون فيه ثواب بل يأثم به.
قال أصحابنا : وإن استحله كفر ، وجرت عليه أحكام المرتدين ، كما لو استحل الزنى والربا أو غيره من المحرمات الشائعة التحريم .
وإن صلى الفرض قاعدًا لعجزه عن القيام ، أو مضطجعًا لعجزه عن القيام والقعود ، فثوابه كثوابه قائمًا ، لم ينقص باتفاق أصحابنا ، فيتعين حمل الحديث في تنصيف الثواب على من صلى النفل قاعدًا مع قدرته على القيام . هذا تفصيل مذهبنا وبه قال الجمهور في تفسير هذا الحديث ".
وقال : " وأما قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لست كأحد منكم " فهو عند أصحابنا من خصائص النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فجُعلت نافلته قاعدًا مع القدرة على القيام كنافلته قائمًا تشريفًا له ، كما خص بأشياء معروفة في كتب أصحابنا وغيرهم ، وقد استقصيتها في أول كتاب تهذيب الأسماء واللغات " انتهى من "شرح صحيح مسلم" (6/14) .
وعليه :
فلك أن تكبر للإحرام قائمًا ثم تقعد ، ولك أن تكبر حال القعود ، ثم إذا حصل لك النشاط في الحالتين فقمت فهذا خير وأفضل ، وقد كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي من الليل فإذا تعب جلس فإذا قرب من الركوع قام ليركع .
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ " مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ جَالِسًا ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَبِرَ قَرَأَ جَالِسًا ، فَإِذَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ السُّورَةِ ثَلَاثُونَ أَوْ أَرْبَعُونَ آيَةً قَامَ فَقَرَأَهُنَّ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ " رواه البخاري (1148) ومسلم (731) .
قال النووي رحمه الله في "شرح مسلم" : " فِيهِ جَوَاز الرَّكْعَة الْوَاحِدَة بَعْضهَا مِنْ قِيَام وَبَعْضهَا مِنْ قُعُود , وَهُوَ مَذْهَبنَا وَمَذْهَب مَالِك وَأَبِي حَنِيفَة وَعَامَّة الْعُلَمَاء , وَسَوَاء قَامَ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ , أَوْ قَعَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ , وَمَنَعَهُ بَعْض السَّلَف , وَهُوَ غَلَط . وَحَكَى الْقَاضِي عَنْ أَبِي يُوسُف وَمُحَمَّد صَاحِبَيْ أَبِي حَنِيفَة فِي آخَرِينَ كَرَاهَة الْقُعُود بَعْد الْقِيَام . وَلَوْ نَوَى الْقِيَام ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَجْلِس جَازَ عِنْدنَا وَعِنْد الْجُمْهُور , وَجَوَّزَهُ مِنْ الْمَالِكِيَّة اِبْن الْقَاسِم وَمَنَعَهُ أَشْهَب " انتهى .

والله أعلم .

*الإسلام سؤال وجواب*

[أم أبي التراب]

He says takbeer for Taraweeh sitting, then he gets up during the recitation

In the blessed month of Ramadan I go to pray ‘Isha’ and Taraweeh with one of the famous reciters, who recites for a long time in Taraweeh prayers. Between each two rak‘ahs I sit down for a while to rest.
My question is: is it permissible for me to say the opening takbeer (takbeerat al-ihraam) with the imam when I am sitting in the row, so that I will not miss the opening takbeer with the imam, and after he has recited some Qur’aan to stand up?.

Praise be to Allaah. It is permissible to sit in a naafil prayer with no excuse according to scholarly consensus, but in that case the reward of one who sits will be half that of one who stands, because of the report narrated by Muslim (1214) from ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr who said: I was told that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “A man’s prayer sitting is half a prayer.”
He said: I came to him and found him praying sitting down. I put my hand on his head and he said: “What is the matter with you, O ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr?”
I said: O Messenger of Allah, I was told that you said: “A man’s prayer sitting is half a prayer,” but you are praying sitting down? He said: “Yes, but I am not like one of you.”
If he prays sitting down because of an excuse, he will have the reward of one who prays standing.
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Sharh Muslim: What is meant is: the prayer of one who sits down whilst praying is half the reward of the one who prays standing. This implies that it is valid but its reward is reduced. This hadeeth is to be understood as referring to offering naafil prayers when one is able to stand; he will have half the reward of one who prays standing. But if a person offers a naafil prayer sitting down because he is unable to stand, his reward will not be reduced; rather he will have the same reward as one who prays standing. But with regard to the obligatory prayer, if a person prays sitting when he is able to stand, it is not valid and he will not have any reward for it; rather he is sinning by doing that.
Our companions said: if he regards doing that as permissible, this is kufr and the rulings on apostates apply to him, as is the case if he regards zina, riba and other known haraam things as permissible.
If he offers an obligatory prayer sitting because he is unable to stand, or he does so lying down because he is unable to stand or sit, then his reward will be like that of one who prays standing and it will not be reduced, according to the consensus of our companions. Thus the hadeeth is to be understood as discussing the issue of reward for one who offers a naafil prayer sitting when he is able to stand. This is our point of view in detail and it is the view of the majority with regard to the interpretation of this hadeeth.
And he said: With regard to the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), “I am not like one of you,” according to our companions this is one of the unique characteristics of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him); his naafil prayer offered sitting when he was able to stand was like his naafil prayer offered standing as an honour to him, as he was also singled out for things that are well known in the books of our companions and others, which I have listed at the beginning of my book Tahdheeb al-Asma’ wa’l-Lughaat.
End quote from Sharh Saheeh Muslim, 6/14
Based on that:
You can say the opening takbeer standing and then sit, or you may say the opening takbeer whilst sitting, then when you feel more energetic you can get up, and this is better and preferable. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to pray at night, and when he got tired he would sit down, then when he was going to bow, he would get up and bow.
It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I did not see the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) reciting in any night prayer whilst sitting until he grew old, then he would recite whilst sitting, and when there were thirty or forty verses left of the soorah, he would stand up and recite them, then he would bow.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1148) and Muslim (731).
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Sharh Muslim: This indicates that it is permissible in the same rak‘ah to stand for part of it and sit for part of it. This is our opinion and the opinion of Maalik, Abu Haneefah and most of the scholars. It is the same whether one stands then sits, or sits then stands. Some of the early scholars disallowed that, but that is extreme. Al-Qaadi narrated from Abu Yoosuf and Muhammad, the two companions of Abu Haneefah, among others, that it is makrooh to sit after standing, but if the person intended to stand, then he wanted to sit down, that is permissible in our view and that of the majority. Among the Maalikis, Ibn al-Qaasim regarded it as permissible and Ashhab disallowed it. End quote.
And Allah knows best.
