around like a fox and the sitting like monkeys ( i.e. to sit on thighs). (Imam Ahmad & at-Tayalisi) The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: The worst thief is the one who steals from his own prayer. People asked, Messenger of Allah! How could one steal from his own prayer? He (SAW) said: By not completing its rukoo and sujood. (At Tabarani & al-Hakim). To complete rukoo is to stay in that posture long enough to recite Subhana Rabbiyal Adtheem three times, SLOWLY, and Subhana Rabbiyal Aala three times, SLOWLY, in sujood. He (SAW) also announced: He who does not complete his rukoo and sujood, his prayer is void.(Abu Dawood & others) Mistake 6 : Counting tasbeeh with the left hand The Prophet (SAW) used to count tasbeeh on the fingers of his right hand after salah. Ibn Qudamah (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) used his right hand for tasbeeh. (Abu Dawood). The above hadeeth indicates clearly that the Prophet (SAW) used only one hand for counting tasbeeh. No Muslim with sound mind would imagine that the Prophet (SAW) used his left hand for counting tasbeeh. Aaishah (RA) said that the Prophet (SAW) used his left hand only for Istinjaa, or cleaning himself after responding to the call of nature. He never used it for tasbeeh. Yasirah (RA) reported: The Prophet (SAW) commanded women to count tasbeeh on their fingers. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: They (the fingers) will be made to speak, and will be questioned (on the Day of Resurrection) (At-Tirmidhi) The above Hadeeth indicates that it is preferable to count tasbeeh on the fingers of the right hand than to do so on masbahah (rosary). Mistake 7 : Crossing in front of a praying person. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) warned: Were the one who crosses in front of a praying person to know the consequences of doing so, he would have waited for *forty better than to cross in front of him. (Sahih Bukhari and Muslim). *The forty in the tradition may be; days months or even years. Allah knows the best.
