Virtue of Namaaz in the Light of Hadith
Hadith 1: It is reported in Sahih Bukhari
and Muslim from Ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ
عنہما that
Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The foundation of Islam is
established on 5 Pillars. (1) To bear testimony that there is none truly worthy
of worship besides Allah and Muhammad
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم is the chosen servant and Prophet of Allah. (2) To
establish Namaaz. (3) To give Zakaat. (4) To perform Hajj. (5) To Fast in the
month of Ramadan.’ [Mishkaat
pg.12]
Hadith 2: Imam Ahmed, Tirmizi and Ibn Majah
report that Hazrat Mu’az رضی اللہ تعالیٰ
عنہ says, ‘I
asked the Holy Prophet صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم to inform me regarding that
practice which will take me into Jannat and save me from Hell. He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Worship Allah and do not associate any partner
with Him, and establish Namaaz and give Zakaat, and Fast in the month of Ramadan,
and make Hajj of Baitullah (Kaaba).’ In the Hadith it has been stated that
Namaaz is a Pillar of Islam. [Mishkaat pg.14]
Hadith 3: In Sahih Muslim from Abu Hurairah
رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ it is narrated that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The five Salaahs, from Jummah to Jummah and from
Ramadan to Ramadan, wipes out all the sins that are between them, as long as
one abstains from Kaba’ir (major sins).’ [Mishkaat pg.57]
Hadith 4: It is in Sahihain from Abu
Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ it was narrated that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said ‘Tell me, if someone has a river outside his door
and he bathes in it five times a day, will there be any dirt left on his body?’
They replied, ‘No’. He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘This is the very example
of the five daily Salaahs. Almighty Allah removes ones sins due to this.’ [Mishkaat pg.57]
Hadith 5: Sahihain have reported from Ibn
Mas’ud رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ that a person committed a sin and
thereafter came (to Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم) and confessed. Upon this, the verse:
(اَقِمِ
الصَّلٰوۃَ طَرَفَیِ النَّہَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِّنَ الَّیۡلِ ؕ اِنَّ الْحَسَنٰتِ
یُذْہِبْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ ؕ ذٰلِکَ ذِکْرٰی لِلذّٰکِرِیۡنَ ﴿۱۱۴﴾ۚ )
‘And establish Namaaz
on both ends of day and in some portion of the night. Undoubtedly, good deeds
remove sins. This is advice to those who accept advice.’ [Surah 11, Verse 114].
The person asked, ‘Ya
Rasool’Allah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم is this command specific to me?’
He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘It is for my entire Ummah.’ [Mishkaat pg.58]
Hadith 6: It is reported in Sahih Bukhari
and Muslim that Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ says, ‘I asked Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم regarding which action (good deed) is most beloved to
Allah. He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Namaaz in its appointed
time.’ I asked what was thereafter; (and) he said, ‘To be kind towards your
parents’, (and) I asked what was after that, and he said, ‘To make Jihad (i.e.
to strive) in Allah’s way.’ [Mishkaat pg.58]
Hadith 7: Baihaqi reported from Hazrat Umar
رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ that a person asked, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم in Islam which is the most beloved deed by Allah?’ The
Prophet صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘to perform Namaaz in its
appointed time (He صلی اللہ تعالی
علیہ وسلم further said), and one who has
omitted his Namaaz has no Deen, (for) Namaaz is the pillar of Deen.’
Hadith 8: Abu Dawud reported from Amr ibn
Shu’aib who narrated from his father, who narrated from his grandfather that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When your children reach
the age of seven, instruct them to perform Namaaz and when they reach the age
of ten get them to read even if one has to hit them[1].’
[Mishkaat
pg.58]
Hadith 9: Imam Ahmed reported that Abu Zarr
رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ mentioned that the Holy Prophet صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم went out in cold weather, it was autumn. He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم held two branches and the leaves began to fall off. He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘O Abu Zarr!’ I said, ‘I am present Ya Rasool’Allah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم , He صلی اللہ
تعالی علیہ وسلم then said, ‘When a Muslim servant performs Namaaz for
Allah, his sins are shed, just as the leaves have fallen from this tree.’ [Mishkaat pg.58]
Hadith 10: It is reported in Sahih Muslim
Shareef from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ
تعالیٰ عنہ that
Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘When a person performs Tahaarat
(Ghusl and Wudu) at his home and then walks towards the Masjid to fulfil his
Fard, then one sin is washed away on every step and on the next step his status
is elevated one fold.’
Hadith 11: Imam Ahmed has reported from Zaid
ibn Khalid Al Jahni رضی اللہ تعالیٰ
عنہ that
Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Whosoever performs 2
Raka’ats of Namaaz without making any error in it then all his sins before this
are forgiven’ (This refers to Sagha’ir, i.e. minor sins). [Mishkaat pg.58]
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[2]
(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[3]
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.’
Hadith 41: The Shaykhain have reported on
the authority of Uthman ibn Abul A’as رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘That Deen which has no Namaaz has no good
(benefit) in it.’
Hadith 42: Baihaqi reported from Umar رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘He who has omitted Namaaz has no Deen. Namaaz is
the Pillar of Deen (Islam).’
Hadith 43: Baz’zaar reported from Abu
Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘In Islam, there is no share for him, who has no Namaaz.’
Hadith 44: Imam Ahmed, Daarimi and Baihaqi
reported in Sha’bul Imaan that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The Namaaz of one who guarded it (i.e. he performed it punctually
and consistently), shall be a lustre and glowing light, and means of salvation
for him on the Day of Qiyaamat. For the one who did not guard it, there is
neither any light, nor radiance or salvation, and on the Day of Qiyaamat he
will be with Qaroon, Firawn, Hamaan, and Ubay bin Khalf.’
Hadith 45: Bukhari, Muslim and Imam Maalik
report from Naafi’ رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ that Hazrat
Ameer-ul-Mo’mineen Farooq-e-Azam رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ sent a decree towards his entire empire (cities), in
which he decreed, ‘The most important action of all your actions in my sight is
Namaaz. Whosoever guarded it has guarded his Deen, and whosoever wasted it, he
will harm others more than that.’
Hadith 46: Tirmizi reported from Abdullah
ibn Shaqeeq رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that the Sahaba-e-Kiraam never
regarded the omission of any amal (action) as kufr (cause for infidelity)
except for Namaaz. Numerous Ahadith have reported, wherein the apparent meaning
of it demonstrates that it is kufr to omit Namaaz intentionally. This was the
Madhab (thought/view) of certain Sahaba-e-Kiraam such as Hazrat Ameer ul
Mo’mineen Farooq-e-Azam, Hazrat Abdur Rahmaan ibn Auf, Abdullah ibn Mas’ud,
Abdullah ibn Ab’bas, Hazrat Jaabir bin Abdullah, Mu’az ibn Jabal, Abu Hurairah
and Abu Dardah رضی اللہ تعالیٰ
عنہم This was
also the view of certain A’ima (Righteous Leaders) such as Imam Ahmed ibn
Hambal, Ishaq bin Rahwiya, Abdullah ibn Mubarak and Imam Nakhi’i. However, our
Imam Azam and the other A’ima, including numerous Sahaba-e-Kiraam, do not pass
the verdict of (Takfeer) infidelity on such a person. Therefore, this cannot
regard this as a minor issue when such great personalities have regarded such a
person (i.e. one who intentionally omits his Namaaz) as a kaafir.
[1]
Hitting here does not mean that one should severely
beat ones child, but it merely means that one should be stern and reprimand him
so that he may realise the importance of Namaaz. It is disallowed to beat and
abuse ones child inhumanely under any circumstances.
[2] 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.
[3]
A Mauquf, i.e. stopped narration refers to a
narration, which is directly mentioned by the Companion wherein he directly
relates the words of the Hadith.
Ya Allah
عزوجل of Mustafa
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We
make sincere Dua that blesses us all with strength in Imaan
and true love for the Holy Prophet
صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand
for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source:
