The majority maintain that the two rak^as (to be offered) upon entry into a mosque are recommended and are not obligatory. The Zahirites said that they are obligatory. The reason for the disagreement over this is whether the command, in the words of the Prophet (God’s peace and blessings be upon him), “If one of you enters the mosque he should kneel for two ra£W’, is to be interpreted to imply a recommendation or an obligation. The tradition is agreed upon (by al-BukharT and Muslim) for its authenticity. Those who maintained with the majority that the rule is. to construe absolute commands as implying obligation, unless an evidence indicates a recommendation and there is no objection against the evidence that transfers the hukm from being an obligation to that conveying a recommendation, said that these two raktas are obligatory. Those who raised an objection to the evidence converting the commands to recommendation, or for whom the rule is that the commands are to be construed to imply a recommendation, unless there is an evidence indicating an obligation, a rule which is held by one group, said that the two rak^as are not obligatory.
