09 OCT (Hadith Of The Day) - Please Teach Me Salat

Hadith of the Day
Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam entered the masjid, and a man came in the masjid and offered Salat; then he approached Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam and greeted him with Salam. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam answered his Salam and said: Go back offer your Salat again, as you have not offered Salat. He went back and offered Salat in the same manner as he had offered it earlier, and returned and greeted Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. He said: Go back and offer your Salat again, as you have not offered Salat. This occurred three times. Then the man said: By Him who has sent you with the Truth, I cannot pray Salat better than this. So, please teach me Salat. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam replied: When you stand for Salat, say Allahu Akbar, then recite from the Qur'an what you know, and then go into Ruku' and complete it calmly. Then rise from Ruku' until you stand straight. Then you go into Sajdah till you complete it calmly. Then raise your head and sit till you are at ease and do the same in the whole of the Salat. (Bukhari: 757)

Hadith of the Day

06 OCT (Hadith Of The Day) - Mercy of Allah Is Directed Towards Him

Hadith of the Day
Abu Dhar Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: When anyone of you stands in Salat, he should not level the pebbles (with his hand), as the Mercy of Allah is directed towards him. (Tirmidhi: 379)
 
Note: In the early era of Islam, nothing was spread on the ground of the masjid and Salat was performed upon pebbles. Therefore, performing Sajdah would be uncomfortable due to the pebbles. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam had prohibited unnecessarily smoothening the place of Sajdah, since this is the time when the Mercy of Allah is directed towards the person in Salat. All such unnecessary actions during Salat may become a means of depriving one of Allah's Mercy.

A man behind him said: Rabbana walakal hamd hamdan kathiran tayyibam mubarakan fih (O our Rabb! All the praises are for You, many excellent and blessed praises). When Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam completed the Salat, he inquired: Who had uttered these words? The man replied: I did.

And man does not come nearer to Allah with anything better than that which came forth from Allah 'Azza wa Jall, meaning thereby the Qur'an. (Tirmidhi: 2911)
 
Note: Apart from the importance of Nafl Salat, this Hadlth explains that the maximum closeness to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is achieved by reciting of the Qur'an.
