Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26566

Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Musa, nicknamed Mardawayh, told us. Ibn al-Mubarak told us, Abd al-Rahman bin Ziyad bin Anam told us, That Abdul Rahman bin Rafi’ and Bakr bin Sawada told him on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr. He said, “The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.” If he - meaning the man - breaks the fast and sits at the end of his prayer before he says the salutation, then his prayer is permissible.” Abu Issa said: This is a hadith. Its chain of transmission is not that strong, and they were disturbed in its chain of transmission. Some of the people of knowledge took this view. They said, “If he sat for an amount of Tashahhud And he spoke before he said the salutation, then his prayer was completed. Some of the people of knowledge said that if he spoke before he recited the tashahhud and before he said the salutation He repeated the prayer. This is the opinion of Al-Shafi’i. And Ahmad said, “If he does not recite the tashahhud and say the salaam, that is sufficient, based on the words of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him,” and its analysis. “The tashahhud is easier. The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, stood up in two prayers and continued his prayer without reciting the tashahhud. And Ishaq bin Ibrahim said: He recited the tashahhud but did not say the tashahhud. He used as evidence the hadith of Ibn Masoud when the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, taught him the tashahhud and said: If you have finished with this, then you have fulfilled what you owed.” Abu Issa and Abd al-Rahman bin Ziyad bin Anam said, “He is the African.” Some of the hadith scholars considered it weak, including Yahya bin Saeed Al-Qattan and Ahmad bin Hanbal.
