Maghrib and ‘Ish?’ are all weak ones -with different levels of weakness. It was affirmed that the prophet ( - ) used to perform Sal?t on this time without limiting it to a certain number of Rak‘ahs. Any narration regarding this is weak and hence the prohibition to put it under application’. (1)

It is also a commonly practiced mistake to call the Sal?t done between the Maghrib and ‘Ish?’ as “Al-’Aww?b?n Sal?t”. It is authentically affirmed that this name refers to Sal?tul Duh?. (2)

Dear muslim, if you are practicing any of the aforementioned forged Salaw?t, you should quit doing so. Most of these Salaw?t disappeared through the passage of time [praise be to All?h ( - عز وجل -)] that is why I just mentioned them only by name or time without describing the manner in which they are done for the sole purpose here is to warn against falling in Bid‘ah and in the nets Mubtadi‘ah weave.

The following paragraphs and points will mention the weak ah?d?th which are wide spread amongst muslims regarding Sal?t. Some the these ah?d?th will be followed with names of Muhaddith?n who affirmed their falsehood. However, I should first say that every muslim should be aware of these ah?d?th and never ascribe them to the prophet ( - ) but after scrutinizing them carefully referring to the accredited books [of ah?d?th] lest one incurs a sin on himself and be of those who do not differentiate between that which is good and that which is evil.

[2/ 68] Forged ah?d?th mentioned earlier in this book:

1 - ‘The prophet ( - ) took off his hat and took it as a Sutrah [in his Sal?t]’.

The weakness of this had?th was previously mentioned in point no. (10) in the footnote.
