3.8 Sala ya Idi Mbili
3.8 Prayer on the two <Id
Wanazuoni walikubaliana juu ya thawabu za kuoga kwa ajili ya kila sala kati ya hizo mbili, na kwamba sala hizo hufanywa bila adhana na bila kutamka iqama, kwa kuwa hiyo ndiyo ilikuwa desturi iliyothibitika ya Mtume wa Allah ﷺ, isipokuwa uzushi uliofanywa na Mu'awiya katika jambo hili, kama ilivyopokelewa katika kauli iliyo sahihi kabisa kulingana na Abu 'Umar. Vilevile, walikubaliana kwamba sunna ni kusali sala kabla ya khutba, kwani hilo pia limethibitika kutoka kwa Mtume wa Allah ﷺ, isipokuwa lile linalosimuliwa kutoka kwa 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, kwamba alichelewesha sala na kuitangulia khutba ili watu wasitawanyike kabla ya khutba. Pia walikubaliana kwamba hakuna muda maalum uliowekwa kwa ajili ya kisomo katika sala. Wengi wao walipendekeza kwamba Surat al-A'la isomwe katika rakaa ya kwanza na Surat al-Ghashiya katika rakaa ya pili, kwa kuwa hilo limepokewa kwa mfululizo (tawatur) na jamii nzima kutoka kwa Mtume wa Allah ﷺ. Al-Shafi'i alipendekeza kwamba Surat Qaf na Surat al-Qamar zisomwe, kwa kuwa hilo limethibitika kutoka kwa Mtume ﷺ.
The jurists agreed upon the religious merit of bathing for (each of) the two prayers and that they are observed without the call for prayers and (without) the pronouncement of the iqdma, as this was the established practice of the Messenger of Allah (God’s peace and blessings be upon him), except for the innovation in this practice by Mu*awiya as recorded in a most authentic statement according to Abu ‘Umar. Likewise, they agreed that the sunna is to observe the prayer before the sermon, as that too has been established from the Messenger of Allah (God’s peace and blessings be upon him), except what is related from TJthman ibn ‘Affan that he delayed the prayer and advanced the sermon so that the people should not disperse prior to the khutba. They also agreed that there is no time limit set for the recitation in the prayers. Most of them recommended that surat al-A^la be recited in the first rak^a and surat al-Ghashiya in the second as this is transmitted through tawdtur (by the whole community) from the Messenger of Allah (God’s peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Shafi‘T recommended that surat Qaf and surat al~ Qamar be recited, because it was established from the Prophet (God’s peace and blessings be upon him).
