'Abdullah (b. Masu'd) reported: We used to greet the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he was engaged in prayer and he would respond to our greeting. But when we returned from the Negus we greeted him and he did not respond to us; so we said: Messenger of Allah. we used to greet you when you were engaged in prayer and you would respond to us. He replied: Prayer demands whole attention.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw spittle on the wall towards Qibla, and scratched it away and then turning to the people said: When any one of you prays, he must not spit in front of him, for Allah is in front of him when he is engaged in prayer.

Abu Hurairah (RA) and Abu Sa'id narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw sputum, and the rest of the hadith is the same.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw some sputum in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque. He turned towards people and said: How is it that someone amongst you stands before his Lord and then spits out in front of Him? Does any one of you like that he should be made to stand in front of someone and then spit at his face? So when any one of you spits, he must spit on his left side under his foot. But if he does not find (space to spit) he should do like this. Qasim (one of the narrators) spat in his cloth and then folded it and rubbed it.

Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar were among the people and they were too afraid to speak to him and the people came out in haste (saying): The prayer has been shortened. But among them was a man called Dhu'I-Yadain who said: Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened or have you forgotten? The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) looked to the right and left and said: What was Dhu'I-Yadain saying? They said: He is right. You (the Holy Prophet) offered but two rak'ahs. lie offered two (more) rak'ahs and gave salutation, then said takbir and prostrated and lifted (his head) and then said takbir and prostrated, then said takbir and lifted (his head). He (the narrator) says: It has been reported to me by Imran bin Husain that he said: He (their) gave salutation.

A man called al-Khirbaq, who had long hands, got up and went to him, and addressed him as Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and mentioned to him what he had done. He came out angrily trailing his mantle, and when he came to the people he said: Is this man telling the truth? They said: Yes. He then said one rak'ah and then gave salutation and then performed two prostrations and then gave salutation.

Ibn 'Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while reciting the Qur'an recited its scarab containing sajda, and he performed prostration and we also prostrated along with him (but we were so overcrowded) that some of us could not find a place for our forehead (when prostrating ourselves).

(ﷺ) there came to me two old women from the old Jewesses of Madinah and asserted that the people of the graves would be tormented therein.

I. e. from the torment of Hell, from the torment of grave, from the trial of life and death. -and from the mischief of Masih at-Dajjal (Antichrist). This hadith has been narrated by al-Auza'i with the same chain of transmitters but with these words: "When any one of you completes the tashahhud" and he made no mention of the words "the last".

A hadith like this has been transmitted by A'raj on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) .

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to observe, silence for a short while between the takbir (at the time of opening the prayer) and the recitation of the Qur'an. I said to him: Messenger of Allah, for whom I would give my father and mother in ransom, what do you recite during your period of silence between the takbir and the recitation? He said: I say (these words): "O Allah, remove my sins from me as Thou hast removed the East from the West. O Allah purify me from sins as a white garment is purified from filth. O Allah! wash away my sins with water, snow and hail."

Anas reported: A man came panting and entered the row of worshippers and said: Praise be to Allah, much praised and blessed. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished the prayer he said: Who amongst you uttered these words? The people remained silent. He (the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) again said) -: Who amongst you uttered these words? He said nothing wrong. Then a man said: I came and had a difficulty in breathing, so I uttered them. He replied: I saw twelve angels facing one another as to who will take them up (to Allah).

Ibn 'Umar reported: While we said prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , one among the people said: Allah is truly Great, praise be to Allah in abundance. Glory be to Allah in the morning and the evening. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace be upon, him) said: Who uttered such and such a word? A person among the people said: It is I, Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (who have recited these words).

Abu Salama reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) that when Iqama was pronounced for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , the people occupied their places in the rows before the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) stood up at his place.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Malik and there is no mention of "along with the Imam" and In the hadith transmitted by 'Abdullah the words are: "he in fact finds the entire prayer".

Abu Bakr (RA) b Abu Shaiban and Yahya b Abu Bukair both of them narrated this hadith with the same chain of transmitters.

Sulaiman bin Buraida narrated it on the authority of his father that a person asked the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) about the time of prayer. Upon this he said: Pray with us these two, meaning two days. When the sun passed the meridian. he gave command to Bilal (RA) who uttered the call to prayer. Then he commanded him and pronounced Iqama for noon prayer. (Then at the time of the afternoon prayer) he again commanded and Iqama for the afternoon prayer was pronounced when the sun was high, white and clear. He then commanded and Iqama for the evening prayer was pronounced, when the sun had set. He then commanded him and when he hears the Iqamah for the night prayer was pronounced When the twilight had disappeared. He then commanded him and when he hears the Iqamah for the morning prayer was pronounced, when the dawn had appeared. When it was the next day, he commanded him to delay the noon prayer till the extreme heat had passed and he did so, and he allowed it to be delayed till the extreme heat had passed. He observed the afternoon prayer when the sun was high, delaying it beyond the time he had previously observed it. He observed the evening prayer before the twilight had vanished; he observed the night prayer when a third of the night had passed; and he observed the dawn prayer when there was clear daylight. He (the Holy Prophet) then said: Where is the man who inquired about the time of prayer? He (the inquirer) said: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) I here I am. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The time for your prayer is within the limits of what you have seen.

'Ali reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said on the day (of the Battle) of Ahzab: They diverted us from saying the middle prayer, i. e. the 'Asr prayer. May Allah fill their houses and graves with fire; he then observed this prayer between the evening prayer and the night prayer.

Jarir bin 'Abdullah is reported to have said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that he looked at the full moon and observed: You shall see your Lord as you are seeing this moon, and you will not be harmed by seeing Him. So if you can, do not let yourselves be overpowered in case of prayer observed before the rising of the sun and its setting, i. e. the 'Asr prayer and the morning prayer. Jarir then recited it: "Celebrate the praise of thy Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting" (xx. 130).

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) reported: We waited one night in expectation of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for the last prayer of the night, and he came out to us when a third of the night had passed even after that. We do not know whether he had been occupied with family business or something else. When he came out he said: You are waiting for prayer, for which the followers of no other religion wait, except you. Were it not a burden for my Ummah, I would have led them (in the 'Isha' prayer) at this hour. He then ordered the Mu'adhdhin (to call for prayer) and then stood up for prayer and observed prayer.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: Let the bedouin not gain upper hand over you in regard to the name of your prayer. See the night prayer should be called 'Isha' and the bedouins call it Atama (because) they milk their camels late.

'A'isha reported: The believing women used to pray the morning prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and then return wrapped in their mantles. No one could recognise them.

'Abu'l-'Aliyat al-Bara reported: Ibn Ziyad delayed the prayer. 'Abdullah bin Samit came to me and I placed a chair for him and he sat in it and I made a mention of what Ibn Ziyad had done. He bit his lips (as a sign of extreme anger and annoyance) and struck at my thigh and said: I asked Abu Dharr (RA) as you have asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I have struck your thigh, and said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as you have asked me and he struck my thigh just as I have struck your thigh, and he (the Holy Prophet) said: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, and if you can say prayer along with them. do so, and do not say "I have observed prayer and so I shall not pray."

Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: The prayer of a person in congregation is twenty-seven times in excess to the prayer said alone.

Thabit reported on the authority of Anas (RA) : The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) came to us and there was none in our house but I, my mother and my aunt Umm Haram. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Stand up so that I may lead you in prayer (and there was no time for prescribed prayer). He led us in prayer. A person said to Thabit (RA) : Where stood Anas with him (the Holy Prophet)? He replied: He was on the right side. He then blessed us, the members of the household with every good of this world and of the Hereafter. My mother said: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (and then, pointing towards Anas, said), here is your little servant, invoke the blessing of Allah upon him too. He then blessed me with every good, and he concluded his blessings for me (with these words): Allah! increase his wealth, and his children and make (them the source of) blessing for him.
