![]() ![]() ![]() So the question is why did these Sahaba or Tabaeen practice in this manner?ĭoesnt it show that there were indeed very basic differences between Companions themselves? Is it not a sad irony that the greatest generation of the Salaf ( who had the fortune of sitting in the midst of the Prophet for 23 years with Rasool (saw), were unable to be 100% sure where Rasool (saw) used to put his hands during Salah. This tradition shows that there were indeed people (who were either Sahaba or Tabaeen) in times of Aisha, who used to pray while putting their hands at sides (may be on flanks, or may be straight). That she used to hate that one should keep his hands on his flanks while praying. We read in Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 664: After the declaration of Prophethood, the Prophet was alive for 23 years, which means that He (s) must have offered Salat infront of the Sahaba atleast 700,000 times, and yet Muslims are still unable to agree on whether the Prophet (s) would pray with his arms open or folded! The confusion is not a new phenomenan rather it dates back to the Sahaba themselves! Non Muslims will no doubt mock the fact that Muslims are still not able to ascertain how the Prophet (s) prayed. Think about this matter from an outside perspective. Chapter Three: Offering Salat with open hands
