Commentary:
(1)
By “something,” what is meant is the immense reward and blessings of these prayers.
(2)
These blessings and mercies can only be attained if these prayers are performed in congregation.
(3) (Habwan)
The meaning is: to walk with the support of the hands, or to crawl dragging oneself on the knees or buttocks.
The meaning is that if people truly realized the importance of these prayers, they would never be absent from them, no matter how much hardship and difficulty they had to endure to reach the mosque.
