عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: مَا هَجَّرْتُ إِلَّا وَجَدْتُّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَشْكَنْبَ دَرْدَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا، قَالَ: ((قُمْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شِفَاءً))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Whenever I used to go at the beginning of the prayer, I would find the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the prayer.
