Hadith 12: Tabrani reported from Abu Umaama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When a servant stands in Prayer (i.e. for Namaaz),
then the Doors of Jannat (paradise) are opened unto him and the veils are
removed from between him and His Creator, and the Maidens of Jannat welcome
him; for as long as he does not blow his nose or clear his throat.’
Hadith 13: Tabrani reported in Awsat and Zia
reported from Anas رضی اللہ تعالیٰ
عنہ that
Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘On the Day of Qiyaamat
(Retribution), the servant will first be held accountable for his Namaaz. If
this is in order, then the rest of his actions (deeds) will be in order, and if
this is flawed then all will be regarded as being flawed.’
In one narration it is stated
that (if not all his actions are in order) then such a person shall be in
severe loss and affliction.
Hadith 14: Imam Ahmed, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and
Ibn Majah have reported a narration from Tameem Daari رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ wherein it is mentioned that, if one completed his Namaaz
in full. Then it shall be recorded as being fulfilled properly and if it is not
completed correctly (i.e. if there is some impairment in it etc.), it will then
be said to the Angels, ‘Observe if there are any Nawafil (optional Namaaz) of my
servant, so that you may use it to fulfil his Fard’. The accountability for his Zakaat
will be taken in a similar manner, followed by (accountability) for the rest of
his actions.
Hadith 15: Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah have
reported from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ
تعالیٰ عنہ that
Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When a Muslim enters Jahanum[1]
(and we seek protection in Allah from that), then the fire of hell will devour
his entire body, except for the limbs on which he performs Sajdah, for Allah
has made such limbs Haraam (forbidden) upon the fire (of Hell).’
Hadith 16: Tabrani has mentioned in Awsat,
that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی
علیہ وسلم said, ‘Allah loves a person most
when he sees him in the position of Sajdah, whereby he is rubbing his face in
the dust.’
Hadith 17: Tabrani has mentioned in Awsat
from Anas رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Not a single morning or evening passes by without
one portion of the earth calling out to another portion of the earth saying;
Did a servant pass by you today, who performed his Namaaz on you, or made
Zikr-e-Ilaahi (remembered Allah)? If it replies in the positive, it is afforded
superiority based on this.’
Hadith 18: In Sahih Muslim narrated from
Jaabir رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Namaaz is the Key to Paradise, and Tahaarat (purification)
is the Key to Namaaz.’
Hadith 19: Abu Dawud reported from Ibn
Umaama رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The reward of one who leaves his home after performing
proper Tahaarat (ablution) to fulfil his Fard Namaaz is like that person who
has journeyed for Hajj, and the reward of one who leaves his home for Chasht
Namaaz, is like one who has journeyed for Umrah. If a person does not behave in
an obscene manner between two Salaahs, then his Namaaz shall attain the exalted
level of acceptance.’
Hadith 20/21: Imam Ahmed, Nasa’i and Ibn Majah
have reported from Abu Ayub Ansari رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ and Uqba bin Aamir رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who performs proper Wudu like he has been
commanded to, and then performs his Namaaz like he has been commanded to, then
all which he has done before this is forgiven.’
Hadith 22: Imam Ahmed has reported from Abu
Zarr رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘For the one who performs one Sajdah for Allah; Allah
records for him one good deed, forgives one of his sins and elevates his status
by one fold.’
Hadith 23: It is reported in Kanz-ul-Um’mal
that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘That person who performs 2
Raka’ats of Namaaz in such a manner that with the exception of Allah and the
Angels none other sees him then salvation from hell is written for him.’
Hadith 24: It has been mentioned in
Muniyatul Musal’la that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘There is a sign for everything and the sign (of recognition)
for Imaan is Namaaz.’
Hadith 25: It is mentioned in Muniyatul
Musal’la that Nabi Kareem صلی اللہ
تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Namaaz is a pillar of Deen (Religion). Whosoever kept
it established has kept Islam (well) established and whosoever has omitted it,
he has ruined (his) Deen.’
Hadith 26: Imam Ahmed and Abu Dawud have
reported from Ubadah bin Saamit رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Almighty Allah has made 5 Salaahs Fard upon His
servants. Whosoever performs Wudu properly, performed it (Namaaz) in its
appointed time, fulfilled the Ruku, and prayed with devotion then Allah has
given His Divine Promise that He shall forgive him. There is no promise for him
who did not do so; Allah may either forgive him or punish him.’
Hadith 27: Haakim has reported in his
Taarikh from Ummul Momineen Siddiqa رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, Almighty Allah says, ‘If my servant performs his
Namaaz in the appointed time, then it is My Divine Promise as per My Mercy that
I may not punish him, and I may enter him into Holy Paradise without any
reckoning.’
Hadith 28: Dailmi has reported from Abu
Sa’eed رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Almighty Allah has not commanded any Fard, which
is more virtuous than Tauheed (Accepting his Oneness) and Namaaz. If there were
anything more virtuous than this, then He would have made it Fard upon the
Angels. Some from amongst them are in Ruku whilst others are in Sajdah.’
Hadith 29: Abu Dawud and Tayalsi report from
Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ that
Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The Angels seek the
forgiveness for a person who performs his Namaaz and then remains seated there,
until such time that his Wudu breaks or he stands up (from where he is seated).
The Istighfar, which the Angels make on his behalf, is : اَللّٰھُمَّ اغْفِرْلَہٗ
اَللّٰھُمَّ ارْحَمْہُ اَللّٰھُمَّ
تُبْ عَلَیْہِ . ‘Allahum’magh Firlahu
Warhamhu, Allahum’ma Tub Alaih’
Translation: ‘O Allah, Pardon
him! O Allah, have Mercy on him! O Allah, accept his repentance!’
It has also been mentioned in
numerous Ahadith that for as long as a person is seated waiting to commence
Namaaz, he is regarded as being in Namaaz (i.e. he receives the reward of
Namaaz).
The Above Mentioned
Narrations Were All Related To The Merits And Virtues Of Namaaz In General.
Those Ahadith Mentioned In Regards To Specific Salaahs, Are As Follows:
Hadith 30: Tabrani has reported from Ibn
Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who performs his Morning Prayer (Fajr) is in
the Divine Protection of Allah until evening.’ In another narration: ‘Do not
breakaway from the protection of Allah, for one who breaks away from the
protection of Allah; Allah will throw him face down into hell.’
Hadith 31: Ibn Majah reported from Salman
Farsi رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who has gone for the Morning Namaaz has gone
to it with the Flag of Imaan, and the one who has gone to the marketplace in
the morning has gone with flag of shaitaan.’
Hadith 32: Baihaqi reported in Sha’bul Imaan
from Uthman رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ (with merit of it being a Mauquf[2]
narration), that one who goes for the morning Namaaz (Fajr) with the intention
of attaining reward, it is as if he remained standing (in Ibaadat) for the
entire night. The one who goes for Esha Namaaz is like one who remained
standing in Ibaadat for half the night.’
Hadith 33: Khateeb reported from Anas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Almighty Allah will grant a person who
consistently performs his Fajr and Esha Salaah with Jama’at (in congregation)
for 40 days, with salvation from two things;
the first being the fire (of Hell) and the second being hypocrisy.’
Hadith 34: Imam Ahmed reported from Abu
Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The Day and Night Angels assemble at the times of
Fajr and Asr Namaaz. When they return, Allah says to them, ‘From where are you
returning?’ even though He Knows Well. They say, ‘from (visiting) your
servants. When we went to them, they were engrossed in performing Namaaz. We
have returned to You, leaving them in the state of Namaaz.’
Hadith 35: Ibn Majah reported from Ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Allah Almighty declares salvation from hell, for the
person who performs his Esha Namaaz with Jama’at in the Mosque for 40 nights
consecutively without missing the first Raka’at.’
Hadith 36: Tabrani reports from Ibn Mas’ud رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The weightiest amongst the Salaahs for a hypocrite
are the Esha and Fajr Salaahs. If only you knew the virtues of these Salaahs, you
would have definitely presented yourselves for them, even if it meant dragging
yourself on your rear end.’ (In other words, by any means possible).
Hadith 37: Baz’zaar reported from Ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘May Allah not allow his eyes to sleep, who sleeps
before Esha.’
Below Are The Ahadith That
Are Related To The Warnings And Harmful Effects Of Not Reading Namaaz:
Hadith 38: It is reported in Sahihain from
Naufil bin Mu’awiyah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ that
Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘For one who missed his
Namaaz, it is as if he has lost his family and wealth.’
Hadith 39: Abu Nu’aim reported from Abu
Sa’eed رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who intentionally leaves out his Namaaz, has
his name written on the door of hell.’
Hadith 40: Imam Ahmed reported on the
authority of Umm-e-Aiman رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہا that
Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Do not omit your Namaaz intentionally
for Allah and His Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم are not responsible for the one
who intentionally omits his Namaaz.’
[1] In other words when a sinful Muslim enters fire of
hell to pay for his sins. However, it should be noted that no matter how sinful
he may be, as long as he is a true Muslim, he will pay for his sins and then
through the intercession of Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم or through the blessing of Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم and through the intercession of any other pious ones,
he will be removed from the fire of hell and allowed to enter Holy Paradise.
