المصلي مخلوقا، والمصلي له وتختلف باختلاف المصلى عليه إذا كان المصلي هو الله تعالى.

فأما الأول فمعلوم إن الإنسان محل التغيير واختلاف الأحوال عليه فتختلف صلاته لاختلاف أحواله. وقد تقدم من اختلاف أحوال المصلين ما قد ذكرناه في هٰذا الباب مثل صلاة المريض وصلاة الخائف وأن اختلافها باختلاف حال المصلي من أجله مثل صلاة الكسوف وصلاة الاستسقاء.

وأما اختلافها باختلاف المصلى عليه فمثل صلاة الحق على عباده قال تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ الله ومَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ﴾ [الأحزاب: ٥٦].

فسأل المؤمنون رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن كيفية الصلاة التي أمرهم الله أن يصلوها عليه فقال لهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «قولوا: اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم» أي مثل صلاتك على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم فهٰذا يدلك على اختلاف الصلاة الإلهية لاختلاف أحوال المصلى عليهم ومقاماتهم عند الله.

(وجه التشبيه بالصلاة على إبراهيم)

ويظهر من هٰذا الحديث فضل إبراهيم على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذ طلب أن يصلي عليه مثل الصلاة على إبراهيم. فاعلم إن الله أمرنا بالصلاة على رسول الله

the one praying is a created being, and with the circumstance for which prayer is offered. When God, exalted is He, bestows ṣalāh, it differs with those upon whom it is bestowed.

As for the first, it is known that the human being is subject to change and varying states, so his prayer varies with his states. We have already mentioned different states of those who pray in this chapter, such as the sick person’s prayer and the prayer of fear. Prayer also varies with the circumstance for which it is offered, such as eclipse prayer and prayer for rain.

As for its variation according to those upon whom it is bestowed, there is the Real’s ṣalāh upon His servants. He, exalted is He, says, “God and His angels bestow blessings upon the Prophet. You who believe, invoke blessings upon him” [al-Ahzab 33:56].

The believers asked the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, how to invoke the blessings God commanded them to invoke upon him. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, told them, “Say: O God, bless Muḥammad and the folk of Muḥammad as You blessed Abraham and the folk of Abraham,” meaning with a blessing like that upon Abraham and his folk. This shows that divine blessing differs according to the states of its recipients and their stations with God.

(The Comparison with Blessings upon Abraham)

This hadith appears to give Abraham precedence over the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, since he asked for a blessing upon himself like that upon Abraham. Know that God commanded us to invoke blessings upon the Messenger of God,

Notes

Translator’s note TN2295-1: Ṣalāh denotes ritual prayer when performed by the worshipper and blessing when bestowed by God. The author explores both senses. “Folk” renders āl, the term whose meaning he defines and distinguishes from the household in what follows.
