Hadiths on “Virtue of Prayer”
- Do you think that if I perform the obligatory payers, fast Ramadan, treat the lawful as lawful, and treat the unlawful as unlawful,
- Make frequent prostrations to Allah, for you do not make a single prostration to Allah except that Allah raises you one degree therewith and remits…
- May Allah fill their graves and houses with fire, as they distracted us from the middle prayer until the sun set
