Is it bid’ah to conduct Salath thasbih in Jama’ah ?

Salaat tasbih is sunnah but not in jamaah. It is bid’ah to conduct Salath thasbih in Jama’ah. The Hadith where the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu alaihi wassallum said to ibn Abbas to pray it daily, if not once in Friday, if not monthly once, if not yearly once, if not at least once in life time is in mishkaath a Saheen Hadeeth. It is prayed alone not in jamaah to fix it in twenty seventh is a bidah.

This Hadeeth has many line of narration it has come on saheeh isnaad as well with weak isnad as well in fabricated narrators. Imam Malik had judged it as fabricated and lies because of the isnaad which reached to him was fabricated. Don't be upset with certain scholars May make evidence of Imaam Malik talk but it is not the final.

It was practiced by Imaam Ahmed as it came with saheeh isnaad to him. Imaam Ibn Hajr Al-Asqalani compiled a book on it and proving it authentic. Similar imam Ibn Nasirudeen as well compiled the authenticity of this in a book. Similarly our ustad Sheikh Nasirudeen Al-Albani judged this as Hasan on his mishkaath

This is a quick reply to maintain this sunnah but do it as it is. Not as the innovations caused on its name.
