RAMADAN: WAS IMAM BUKHARI A SHIA?

SAHIH BUKHARI CALLS IT BIDAH congregation is a bidah Narrated Abu Huraira: Ibn Shihab (a sub-narrator) said, "Allah's Apostle died and the people continued observing that (i.e. Nawafil offered individually, not in congregation), and it remained as it was during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr and in the early days of 'Umar's Caliphate." 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said, "I went out in the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one night in Ramadan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, 'Umar said, 'in my opinion I would better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in congregation!)'. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b. Then on another night I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, 'what an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night(Tahajjut). Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 32, Number 227 Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: Allah's Apostle made a small room (with a palm leaf mat). Allah's Apostle came out (of his house) and prayed in it. Some men came and joined him in his prayer. Then again the next night they came for the prayer, but Allah's Apostle delayed and did not come out to them. So they raised their voices and knocked the door with small stones (to draw his attention). He came out to them in a state of ANGER, saying, "You are still insisting (on your deed, i.e. Tarawih prayer in the mosque) that I thought that this prayer (Tarawih) might become obligatory on you. So you people, offer this prayer (i.e. Tahajjud or the so called Tarawih) at your homes, for the best prayer of a person is the one which he offers at home, except the compulsory (congregational) prayer." Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 134 "Ubaid bin al-Hassan reported that Umar Ibn Khattab gathered people behind Abi bin Ka'b and he used to lead them in 20 Rakah prayers,... but during the last ten days of Ramadhan, then Abi bin Ka'b used to stay in his home and offer his prayers there, while other people used to say that Abi bin Ka'b ran away". Sunnan Abu Daud, Volume 1 page 154 "Abdullah Ibn Umar (the son of Umar Ibn Khattab) did not pray Tarawih with people in the Mosque, but he used to offer them individually at home". Encyclopedia of Fiqhs, Volume 7, Under the topic of 'Fiqh of Abdullah Ibn Umar'
