In addition to all that; those women, whose jewelry is taken from them to perform such a play, none of them agrees that any amount of her jewelry be given to the poor or even substituted with another. Is this called Hibah [grant]?? Even the poor has no right in owing it, he receives it only to return it back without taking a little bit from it! What kind of a hibah is this?! This is indeed an artificial hibah not a real one.

And most important of all, such innovated ransom -which is not affirmed in any Shar‘ text- induces many people to abandon Sal?t, and moreover lessens the greatness of Sal?t -we seek refuge with All?h ( - عز وجل -) from this- which is the main pole on which Isl?m stands.

55 - ‘A person gains nothing of his Sal?t except the part which he did with concentration’.

This had?th is not traced back to the prophet ( - ) -as Al-‘Ir?q? stated in “Takhr?j Ah?d?thul Ihy?’” (vol. 1 / p. 159).

Both Muhammad Ibn Nasr in “Ta‘thim Qadris Sal?t” (pp. 157 - 8) and Al-H?kimut Tirmith? in “As-Sal?tu Wa Maq?siduh?” (p. 54) narrated the had?th from ‘Uthm?n Ibn Ab? Dahrash to have said: ‘The prophet ( - ) once led his Sah?bah in Sal?t. [While reciting Qur’?n], he ( - ) missed an ?yah but none of the Sah?bah knew that. Then he ( - ) said: ‘What is the matter with those on whom All?h’s ( - عز وجل -) Qur’?n is recited, yet they know not what has been recited nor what was missed. Indeed, their bodies joined us in the Sal?t but their hearts were absent. Verily, All?h ( - عز وجل -) does not accept one’s Sal?t till his heart witnesses that which his body witnesses’.

This had?th is Mu‘dal; ‘Uthm?n Ibn Ab? Dahrash was of the T?bi‘?n followers -as stated in “Thiq?tu Ibni Hibb?n” (vol. 7 / p. 196). And he has also narrated from a man of Al-H?kim Ibn Abil ‘?as -as mentioned in “At-T?r?kh Al-Kab?r” (2/ 3/220).

In his “Az-Zuhd” (had?th no. 1300), Ibn Al-Mub?rak narrated from Shuraikh from J?bir Al-Ju‘f? from Amm?r Ibn Y?sir to have said: ‘The part of Sal?t in which one becomes distracted does not count [i.e. in rewards]’.
