Does this mistake in recitation invalidate prayer????

[haraaz]

Salam alikom

I accidentally made a mistake while reciting the tashahud in maghrib prayer.

I somehow dropped the "as" in reciting "As-saliheen" and the meaning became like this: "...wa 'ala ibadu Allahi saliheen"
I know small mistakes are forgiveable, but is this? I'm no arabic speaker so I'm not sure if this kind of mistake "grossly changes the meaning of the verse" (which invalidates it, otherwise it does not). Does it??

Wa alaikum salaam,

IMO it is not a grave error. In any case when an error is made and realised in prayer, extra two prostrations are done at the end.

Allah is most forgiving, and it is intention that counts. The fact that you're concerned indicates to me that you haven't anything to worry about. I suggest you just do some Nawafil or Tahujjud prayers and dedicate two rakaats for forgiveness for any error you may have made.

Happy to be corrected if others have a different view.

walaykum aSalaam

Allaah has forgiven all mistakes (things that are done unintentionally). Dropping the "as" does not negate the prayer. Only things that will negate the prayer by leaving them are the things Messenger of Allaah commanded us to do.

Even if you left things he did in prayer while he did not command us to do, such as raising the hands before and after bowing, leaving them is fine also and does not invalidate the prayer.

As salamu Alaykum

That kind of mistake does not invalidate the prayer nor does it require a prostration of forgetfulness. What is important is to learn the fiqh of prayer so one can understand which actions or obligatory, recommended, offensive, and invalidate the prayer.

These can be found is basic fiqh manuals like Al Maqasid of Imam Nawawi (Shafii fiqh), Nur al Idah (Hanafi).

the only time I know where something of this nature invalidates the salah is if the mistake uttered by the tongue involves the utterance of shirk (and some opined kufr as well). Since this mistake does not involve neither of them, then your fine. since your combning the statement in the du'a, it is demarcated by the shaddah.

I don;t know about you but Im kinda quick in my salah so I be saying it kinda fast which kinda seems like Im missing out on something .

May Allah forgive us,

ramadhan mubarak
