There are some little differences in the attitudes of the four great sects during prayer. I describe those of the Hanafees. Footnote 132: Some persons previously utter certain supererogatory ejaculations, expressive of the praise and glory of God; and add, “I seek refuge with God from Satan the accursed;” which petition is often offered up before reciting any part of the Kur-án on other occasions, as commanded by the Kur-án itself (ch. xvi., _v._ 100). The Kur-án is usually recited, in the fard prayers, in a voice slightly audible, excepting at noon and the ’asr, when it is recited inaudibly. By Imáms, when praying at the head of others, and sometimes by persons praying alone, it is chanted. In the sunneh prayers it is recited inaudibly. Footnote 133: In the third and fourth fard rek’ahs, the recitation of a second portion of the Kur-án after the Fát’hah should be omitted; and before fard prayers of four rek’ahs, the “ikámeh” (which consists of the words of the adán, with the addition of “the time of prayer is come,” pronounced twice after “come to security”) should be repeated; but most persons neglect doing this, and many do not observe the former rule. Footnote 134: The doctors of El-Islám differ respecting the proper position of the fingers of the right hand on this occasion: some hold that all the fingers but the first are to be doubled, as represented in Part II. of the sketch of the postures of prayer. Footnote 135: Some say that every believer is attended by two angels; others say, five; others, sixty, or a hundred and sixty. Footnote 136: Beginning with the words “God: there is no deity but He;” and ending with, “He is the High, the Great.” Footnote 137: Adjoining each mosque are several “latrinæ,” in each of which is a receptacle with water, for ablution. Footnote 138: If of the sect of the Sháfe’ees, to which most of the people of Cairo belong; but if of that of the Hanafees, _four_ rek’ahs. Footnote 139: Kur-án, chap. xxxiii., _v._ 56. Footnote 140: There are some trifling differences in the forms of salutations of the Prophet in the Friday-prayers in different mosques; I describe what is most common. Footnote 141: A kind of lizard, the _lacerta Libyca_. Footnote 142: In the great mosque El-Azhar there are several Muballighs in different places, to make the adán heard to the whole congregation. Footnote 143: To commemorate the acquisition of Egypt by the sword. It is never used by the Khateeb but in a country or town that has been so acquired by the Muslims from unbelievers. Footnote 144:
