Sahih Muslim 408


Full Hadith

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ، حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، – وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ – عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَىَّ وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرًا ‏”‏ ‏

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“He who sends prayers upon me once, Allah sends prayers upon him ten times.”


Lesson

We should send blessings on the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم as much as we can. After all, who does not want Allah to send prayers upon them? Whether it’s the short Durood or a long one, remember to say them at least 100 times per day. However, on Friday, we should try to say the Durood as much as possible, for it is said that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is informed of each and every person who sends prayers upon him.

The difference between a believer and an unbeliever is whether he/she says his/her prayers or not

Sahih Muslim Book 1 #147


Full Hadith

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ “‏ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَبَيْنَ الشِّرْكِ وَالْكُفْرِ تَرْكُ الصَّلاَةِ ‏”‏ ‏

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Zubair that he heard Jabir bin ‘Abdullah saying, “I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) say:
“Between man and polytheism and unbelief is the abandonment of salat.”


Lesson

The most important lesson to take from this hadith is that prayer should be observed with care. Missing prayers is such a grave sin, to the extent that the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam has clearly stated that prayer is what distinguishes a believer from an unbeliever. Therefore, we should pray properly and on the right time.

 Sunan Abi Dawud 3776

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَأْكُلْ بِيَمِينِهِ وَإِذَا شَرِبَ فَلْيَشْرَبْ بِيَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْكُلُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَشْرَبُ بِشِمَالِهِ ‏”‏ ‏.

Ibn ‘Umar reported the Prophet(ﷺ) say
“When any of you eats, he should eat with his right hand, and when he drinks, he should drink with his right hand, for the devil eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand.”


Lesson

We should eat with our right hand to oppose the actions of Shaitaan. It is mentioned in another Hadith that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Mention the Name of Allah and eat of the dish what is nearer to you” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5378). This way, we will bot only oppose Shaitaan’s actions; we will also get the reward for adhering to the Prophet ﷺ’s advice.
