[6/ 21] the false addition to the Thikr recited in Suj?d As-Sahwu:
Some muslims say in Suj?d Al-Sahwu ‘Subh?na Man L? Yash? Wal? Yan?m’ [Glory be He who never forgets nor sleeps] which is a false addition that is not affirmed to be of Sunnah. Al-Qushair? said: (1) ‘It was not affirmed that the prophet ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) recited a certain Thikr in Suj?d As-Sahwu save those ordinary ‘Athk?r which he ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) used to recite in any other Suj?d. As for the statement that says: ‘Subh?na Man L? Yash? Wal? Yan?m’; it is not of the prophet’s ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) Sunnah nor is it of his Sah?bah’s practice, nor is supported by an established authentic proof; it is indeed one of the S?fi’s falsehood that should be strictly abandoned.
Religion should be taken from the authentic, pure, Sunnah-books. Documenting such a false statement in a compilation as part of religion is indeed grave falsehood’. (2)
[7/ 21] A misconception regarding the cause of Im?m’s Sahwu [forget fullness]:
It is worth mentioning here that some people believe that the improper Tah?r which some of those led by the Im?m had performed causes the Im?m to fall in Sahwu and misrecite some of the Qur’anic verses in Sal?t.
Those who hold such an opinion depend on a weak had?th that runs as follows: ‘Shab?b Ibn Ab? Rawh related that a man amongst the prophet’s ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) Sahabah said that the prophet ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) once led muslims in Fajr Sal?t and recited S?rat Ar-R?m making some mistakes during the recitation. Having finished the Sal?t, he ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) said: “what is the matter with those who perform their Sal?t with us without having performed perfect Tah?r?? Those indeed cause us make mistakes in Sal?t’.
This had?th is a weak one. In its chain of narrators there is Shab?b Ibn Nu‘aim or Ibn Ab? Rawh; his agnomen is Ab? Rawh
