Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

SALAAH TAHIYATUL MASJID

Hadrat Qatada (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger as saying, ‘When one of you enters the mosque, he should perform two Rakaats before sitting down.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

Note: This is one of the Sunan Salaah and is said as a mark of dignity of the mosque. This should be said at the time of Zuhur Salaah, Asr Salaah and Isha Salaah and not at a time when performing Salaah is forbidden in the latter case: one should perform the following four times:

(Glory be to ALLAAH, praise be to ALLAAH and there is no God but ALLAAH and ALLAAH is most great. This should be followed by any of the duruds). [Bahishti Gohar]
