The Book on Salat (Prayer)

كتاب الصلاة

There is a narrated with another chain that Abu Huraira and (Abdullah bin) As-Sa'id Al-Qari (رضي الله تعالى عنهما) would perform the prostrations of As-Sahw before the Taslim. Imam Tirmidhi said the Hadith of Ibn Buhaina is a Hasan Hadith and this is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. It is the opinion of Ash-Shafii that all prostrations for As-Sahw were to be performed before the Salam, saying : 'this one abrogates the other Ahadith and he mentioned that the last action of the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was according to this'. Ahmad and Ishaq said when a man stands up after two Raka then he performs the prostrations for As-Sahw before the Salam according to the Hadith of Ibn Buhaina. Abdullah bin Buhaina is Abdullah bin Malik so he is Ibn Buhaina because Malik is his father and Buhaina is his mother. I was informed of this by Ishaq bin Mansur from Ali (bin Abdullah) bin al-Madini. Imam Tirmidhi said the people of knowledge differ over when a man is to perform the prostrations of as-Sahw, is it before the salam or after it. Some of them thought that he performs them after the Salam. This is the view of Sufyan Ath-Thawri and the people of Kufa. Some of them said he performs them before the Salam. This is the view of most of the Fuqaha among the people of Madina, like Yahya bin Sa'id, Rabia and others. This is also the saying of Ash-Shafii. Some of the said when he adds to the salah then it is after the Salam, and when he leaves something out, then before Salam. This is the view of Malik bin Anas. Ahmad said, whatever is reported from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) about the prostrations for As-Sahw then it is acted upon in either case. He saw that when one stands after two raka, then according to the Hadith of Ibn Buhainah, he is to perform the prostrations before the Salam. When he prays five for Zuhr, then performs the prostrations after the Salam, and if he says the salam after two raka of Zuhr or Asr then he performs the prostrations after the Salam. All of them are to be acted upon depending upon the case and in the cases where nothing is reported from the Prophet ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), then two prostration are performed for As-Sahw before the Salam. Ishaq said the same as Ahmad about all of this with the exception that he said that for every case of As-Sahw that is not mentioned from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), then if it is an addition to the the prostrations are performed after the Salam and if it is something that was left out, then the prostrations are performed before the Salam.
