(87) بَابُ الْأَمْرِ بِالْخُشُوعِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ،
Chapter 87: Command to have humility in prayer
Hadith Q474
إِذِ الْمُصَلِّي يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ، وَالْمُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُفَرِّغَ قَلْبَهُ لِمُنَاجَاةِ خَالِقِهِ- عَزَّ وَجَلَّ- وَلَا يَشْغَلَ قَلْبَهُ التَّعَلُّقُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ أُمُورِ الدُّنْيَا يَشْغَلُهُ عَنْ مُنَاجَاةِ خَالِقِهِ.
Because the one who prays is whispering to his Lord, and it is obligatory for the one who whispers with his Lord to keep his heart free for whispering to his Creator and Master, and not to occupy his heart with any worldly matters that would distract him from whispering with his Lord.
Hadith 474
نا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْجَزَرِيُّ ، نا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى ، نا مُحَمَّدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الظُّهْرَ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ نَادَى رَجُلا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ الصُّفُوفِ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا فُلانُ ، أَلا تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ ، أَلا تَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ تُصَلِّي ؟ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ يُصَلِّي ، إِنَّمَا يَقُومُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ كَيْفَ يُنَاجِيهِ ، إِنَّكُمْ تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي لا أَرَاكُمْ ، إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لأَرَى مِنْ خَلْفِ ظَهْرِي كَمَا أَرَى مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ "
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Zuhr prayer. When he finished the prayer with salam, he called out to a person who was at the end of the rows and said: "O so-and-so, do you not fear Allah? Do you not reflect on how you have performed the prayer? Indeed, when any one of you stands for prayer, he stands only to converse privately with his Lord. Therefore, he should consider how he is conversing with his Lord. Do you think that I do not see you? By Allah, indeed I see you from behind my back just as I see you in front of me."
