Translations:Yirmi Dördüncü Söz/330/en
for example, “Whoever performs two rak’ats of prayers at such and such a time has performed the equivalent of the Hajj.”(*[1]) It is thus the truth that at certain times two rak’ats of prayers may be the equivalent of a Hajj. Due to its universality, this meaning may apply to all prayers of two rak’ats. That means what narrations of this sort refer to is not in fact continuous and universal, because since there are conditions of acceptance, it disallows it being continuous and universal. It is either in fact temporary and absolute or possible and universal. That is to say, the universality in this sort of Hadith is in regard to possibility.
