Reviving the Sunnah[in marriage]-The praying of husband and wife together by Shaykh Albaani(rh)

It is desirable for the husband and wife to pray 2 rakaat together on their wedding night. This has been narrated from the earliest generation of Muslims, as in the following 2 narrations:

First: On the authority of Abu Sa’eed Mawla Abu Asyad who said: “I got married while I was a slave. I invited a number of the companions of the Prophet, among them was Ibn Mas’ood, Abu Dharr and Hudhaifa. When the prayer was called, Abu Dharr began to step forward when the others said to him: ‘No!’ He said: ‘Is it so?’ And they said: ‘Yes.’ Then, I stepped forward and led the prayer though I was a slave possessed. They taught me, saying: ‘When your wife comes to you, pray 2 rakaat. Then, ask Allaah for the good of that which has come to you, and seek refuge in Him from its evil. Then it is up to you and it is up to your wife.’” [Ibn Abi Shaibah and ‘Abdur-Razzaaq]

Second: On the authority of Shaqeeq who said: “A man named Abu Hareez came and said: ‘I have married a young girl, and I am afraid that she will despise me.’ ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood said to him: “Verily, closeness is from Allaah, and hatred is from Shaitaan, who wishes to make despicable that which Allaah has allowed. So, when your wife comes to you, tell her to pray behind you 2 rakaat.’” In another version of the same story, “‘Abdullah went on to say: ‘And say: ‘O Allah give Your blessings on me in my wife, and to her in me. O Allaah join us together as long as You join us in good, and split us apart if You send to us that which is better.’” [Ibn Abi Shaibah and at-Tabaraani and ‘Abdur-Razzaaq: Saheeh].

Assalaamu Alaykum RahmatuAllahi Wa baraktuhu! O visitor!

This is my first post and blog here on blogger. The point in this blog is to give more awareness to non Muslims as to what Islam is about as well as, a call to knowledge for the Muslims who are in this internet age. Many of us act without knowledge and become hasty in how we deal with one another. So this blog in itself is here for daw'ah to both Muslim and Non Muslim alike.

I adhere to the Methodology of those who came before us, the Salaf us Saliheen(first three generations of Islam) and their pious followers and noble scholars. I will from time to time post my own videos from my youtube channel as well, and I hope it is beneficial. In line with the advice of the noble scholars such as Ibn Hajar al Asqalani(rahimuAllah) I start this blog with the following hadith:

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

(Sahih bukhari, Hadeeth #1, volume 1)

Oh Allah! I ask that you make this blog of mine beneficial as my intentions are pure! Ameen!
