followed by heavy rain that drops of water were drippling from the prophet’s ( - ) beard’.

Mistakes done by those attending the Sal?t:

* Raising hands saying “?men” when the Im?m recites du‘?’, and whoever does so will incur a sin on himself as Ibn ‘Abd?n stated to be the soundest of all ‘Ulamah’s opinions. (1)

* Raising hands when the Im?m sits between the two Khutbahs and says at the end of the First: ‘Call unto All?h ( - عز وجل -) believing that your du‘?’ will certainly be answered’.

* The recitation of the aforementioned statement so often by the Khat?b is also illegal; it is even forbidden for it leads to raising voices with Thikr by the Ma’m?m?n.

Ad-Dard?r even considered it to be of the hideous Bid‘ah done by the “ignorant Khat?b”.

Commenting on Ad-Dard?r’s term “ignorant Khat?b”, As-S?w? said: ‘The word [Jah?l] ignorant is a form of extensiveness for he is enjoining what is good while he is doing the opposite since reciting this had?th (2) is not an obligation in the Khutbah; on the contrary, it is a Bid‘ah. Keeping silent between the two Khutbahs is the obligation. So, raising voices with Athk?r is Har?m. Indeed, such a Khat?b has led himself and others astray’. (3)

It is also a mistake that the Ma’m?m?n raise their voices when the Im?m says: ‘Make mention of All?h ( - عز وجل -) ’ at the end of the Khutbah.

Regarding this point, Muhammad Rash?d Rid? said: ‘Raising one’s hands and voice with du‘?’ when the Khat?b sits between the two Khutbahs is proofless. Were such an act an affirmed Sunnah
