2 Preface The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) has said: م ن ح ف ظ ع ل ا م ت ا ر ب ع ين ح د يث ا ي ن ت ف ع ون ب ه ا ب ع ث ه ال ه ي و م ال ق ي ام ة ف ق يها ع ال ما. The person from amongst my nation who memorizes forty traditions pertaining to those issues of religion which he is in need of, Allah shall resurrect him on the Day of Judgment as a scholar with a deep insight into the faith. In following the above hadith, The Islamic Education Board of The World Federation of KSIMC (IEB WF) has decided to publish a series of booklets of 40 ahadith on different subjects. The ahadith, which have been selected from various sources, are short and simple and therefore easy to understand and memorize. It is envisaged that the booklets will not only be useful for Zakireen, Madrasah teachers and students, but will be of benefit to the Ummah at large. The collection of the ahadith, together with their translation in English, was carried out by Shaykh Shahnawaz Mahdavi. IEB WF would like to thank Shaykh Mahdavi for his efforts in the compilation and translation of this work. May Allah (Glory and Greatness be to Him) accept this work as a further attempt by IEB WF to propagate Islam. Introduction For the introduction for the 40 ahadith on prayers, we could not think of anything that could be more complete, interesting and profound than what appears in the beginning of the chapter on prayers in the Tawdhihul Masail of Ayatullah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Hence we have selected it with the hope that all those who love the AhlulBayt (peace be upon them) and that great gnostic may derive abundant benefits from their invaluable words and statements. The prayers are the most important of the religious acts such that if they are accepted by Allah, all the other acts of worship shall also be accepted. However if the prayers are not accepted, then the other acts too shall not find acceptance.

3 And just as a person who washes himself five times a day has no dirt and uncleanness remaining on his body, similarly the five daily prayers cleanse a person from his sins. It is befitting that the prayers are offered as soon as their time sets in, and one who considers the prayers to be trivial is like one who does not offer his prayers. The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) has said: One, who does not attach importance to (his) prayers and considers them to be inconsequential, deserves the chastisement of the hereafter. One day, while the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) was present in the mosque, a person entered it and engaged himself in prayers. However, the manner in which he offered them was such that he neither performed his ruku (bowing) correctly, nor his sujood (prostration). Observing this, the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) remarked: If this person happens to die and his prayers are like this, he would not have died upon my religion! Hence, a person must exhibit care that he does not offer his prayers in haste. Whilst offering his prayers, he should remember Allah (s.w.t), possess a dignified, humble and submissive demeanor, should know with Whom he is conversing, and consider himself absolutely trivial and minor before the greatness and exaltedness of the Lord of the Worlds. If the person were to focus on these aspects in their entirety, he would become oblivious of himself. He would be just like Amirul Mo minin (peace be upon him) who was oblivious to the removal of the arrow which was taken from his foot whilst he was engrossed in his prayers. A person who prays should also repent (for his past misdeeds), and refrain from sins that hinder the acceptance of prayers such as jealousy, pride, backbiting, consuming haram food and wealth, drinking intoxicants, withholding zakat and khums, etc Rather, he should refrain from all sins! It is also befitting that he should desist from committing acts that reduce the rewards of prayers such as offering prayers in a state of drowsiness, or while withholding one s urine, or looking up at the sky while offering prayers. At the same time he should perform acts that increase the rewards of prayers such as wearing an agate (Aqiq) ring, wearing clean clothes, brushing the teeth, combing the hair and applying perfume. 1 We conclude this introduction by narrating a beautiful2 tradition from the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny). He has said: My Ummah consists of four groups: 1. One group offers the prayers, however yet are unmindful of their prayers, and they shall be placed in Wayl. Wayl is the name of one of the bottom-most levels of hell. Allah has said:

4 ف و يل ل ل م ص ل ين ال ذ ين ه م ع ن ص لا ت ه م س اه ون So woe to the praying ones, who are unmindful of their prayers One group is such that it occasionally offers the prayers, and so, Ghayy is the abode for the people of this group. Ghayy is the name of another of the bottom-most levels of hell. Allah has said: ف خ ل ف م ن ب ع د ه م خ ل ف ا ض اع وا الص لاة و ات ب ع وا الش ه و ات ف س و ف ي ل ق ون غ ي ا But there came after them an evil generation, who neglected prayers and followed the sensual desires, so they will meet perdition The third group consists of those, who never offer their prayers, and for them is Saqar, which is also the name of another of the low levels of hell and about which Allah has said: م ا س ل م ف س ق ر ق ال وا ل م ن ك م ن ال م ص ل ين (The inmates of paradise shall ask the inmates of hell) What has brought you into hell? They shall say: We were not of those who prayed The fourth group consists of those, who offer their prayers regularly and are humble in them. Allah has said: ق د ا فل ح ال م و م ن ون ال ذ ين ه م ف ص لا ت ه م خ اش ع ون Successful indeed are the believers, Who are humble in their prayers. 6 and 7 We pray to Allah (Glory and Greatness to Him) that He decrees all of us to be of the fourth group. Mahmud Sharif 1. Tawdhihul Masa il of Ayatullah Khomeini, pg. 84 (before issue Number 727). 2. The beauty of this tradition is in the fact that the Noble Prophet has derived this classification from the Noble Qur an and has also mentioned the verses related to each group. 3. Noble Qur an, Suratul Ma un, Verses 4 & 5.

5 4. Noble Qur an, Surah Maryam, Verse Noble Qur an, Suratul Muddathir, Verses 42, Noble Qur an, Suratul Mu minun, Verses 1 & 2 7. Al-Mawaidhul `Adadiyyah, Chapter 4, Page 122. Prayers in The Noble Qur an و ا ق م الص لا ة ا ن الص لاة ت ن ه ع ن ال ف ح ش اء و ال م ن ر و ل ذ ك ر ال ه ا ك ب ر And keep up prayer; surely prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil. And the remembrance of Allah is the greatest. Noble Qur an, Suratul `Ankabut, Verse 45 The Rank of Prayers in Islam 1. The Special Rank of Prayers ق ال ر س ول ال ه (ص): ا و ل م ا اف ت ر ض ال ه ع ل ا م ت الص ل و ات ال خ م س و ا و ل م ا ي رف ع م ن ا ع م ال ه م الص ل و ات ال خ م س و ا و ل م ا ي س ا ل ون ع ن ه الص ل و ات ال خ م س. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his progeny) said: The first thing that Allah made obligatory upon my Ummah was the five prayers; and the first thing from their acts of worship that shall be taken up will be the five prayers; and the first thing that they will be questioned about will be the five prayers. Kanzul `Ummal, Volume 7, Tradition 18859

6 2. The Pillar of Religion ع ن ا ب ج ع ف ر (ع) ق ال : ب ن الا س لا م ع ل خ م س ع ل الص لاة و الز ك اة و الص و م و ال ح ج و ال و لا ي ة. Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) has said: Islam has been founded and established on five things: Prayers, Zakat, Hajj, Sawm (Fasting) and Wilayah.

Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) has said: The prayer is the pillar of religion and its parable is that of the prop of a tent when the prop remains upright, the pegs and ropes remain straight and upright, but when the prop bends or breaks neither the pegs nor ropes remain straight. Biharul Anwar, Volume 82, Page A Means of Salvation ق ال ر س ول ال ه (ص): خ م س ص ل و ات م ن ح اف ظ ع ل ي ه ن ك ان ت ل ه ن ورا و ب ر ه انا و ن ج اة ي وم ال ق ي ام ة. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his progeny) said: One who adheres to the five (daily) prayers diligently, they shall be a means of illumination and salvation for him on the Day of Judgment. Kanzul `Ummal, Volume 7, Tradition 18862

7 5. Illumination of the Heart ق ال ر س ول ال ه (ص): ص لا ة الر ج ل ن ور ف ق ل ب ه ف م ن ش اء م ن م ف ل ي ن و ر ق ل ب ه. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his progeny) has said: The prayer of a person is (in reality) a light in his heart, so whoever desires, can illuminate his heart (by means of prayers).

Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: The first thing for which a person shall be subjected to reckoning is prayers. If they are accepted, all his other deeds shall (also) be accepted. But if rejected, all his other deeds shall (also) be rejected. Wasa ilush Shi`a, Volume 3, Page The Conduct of the Prophets ق ال ر س ول ال ه (ص): ا لص لا ة م ن ش ر اي ع الد ين و ف يه ا م ر ض اة الر ب ع ز و ج ل و ه م ن ه اج الا ن ب ي اء.

8 8. The Standard of Islam ق ال ر س ول ال ه (ص): ع ل م الا س لا م الص لاة ف م ن ف ر غ ل ه ا ق ل ب ه و ح اف ظ ع ل ي ه ا ب ح د ه ا و و ق ت ه ا و س ن ن ه ا ف ه و م و م ن.

Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: Surely the Angel of Death repels Satan from the proximity of one who had adhered to and guarded his prayers, and makes him speak out the testimony of There is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah during that terrifying and frightening state (of death). Wasa ilush Shi`a, Volume 3, Page Prayers and Children ع ن ال ب اق ر (ع) ق ال : ا ن ا ن ا م ر ص ب ي ان ن ا ب الص لا ة ا ذ ا ك ان وا ب ن خ م س س ن ين ف م ر وا ص ب ي ان م ب الص لا ة ا ذ ا ك ان وا ب ن س ب ع س ن ين. Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) advised: We command our children to offer prayers when they are five years old, so you too order your children to offer prayers (but only) when they are seven years of age.

Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: One obligatory prayer is better than performing Hajj twenty times, and the performance of one Hajj is better than giving away a house full of gold.

11 17. The Covenant of Allah ع ن ر س ول ال ه (ص): ق ال ال ه ت ع ال : ا فت ر ض ت ع ل ا م ت ك خ م س ص ل و ات و ع ه دت ع ن د ي ع ه دا ا ن ه م ن ح اف ظ ع ل ي ه ن ل و ق ت ه ا ا د خ ل ت ه ال ج ن ة و م ن ل م ي ح اف ظ ع ل ي ه ن ف لا ع ه د ل ه ع ن د ي.

It has been reported that a youth from the Ansar, who used to offer his prayers with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his progeny), used to indulge in sinful and corrupt deeds.

Observing this, the Messenger of Allah commented: (This person) pecks as a crow pecks. Should he die and the state of his prayers be as they are now, he shall surely not die upon my religion.

16 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his progeny) has said: Prayer is the pillar of your religion and one who intentionally forsakes his prayer has destroyed his religion. And one who does not guard the times of the prayers, shall be made to enter Wayl, which is a valley in Hell, as Allah, the Exalted, has said: So woe to the praying ones, who are unmindful of their prayers. 1 Biharul Anwar, Volume 82, Page The Consequence of Abandoning Prayers ق ال ر س ول ال ه (ص): لا ت ت ر ك ن الص لا ة م ت ع م دا ف ا ن ه م ن ت ر ك الص لا ة م ت ع م دا ف ق د ب ر ى ت م ن ه ذ م ة ال ه و ر س ول ه...

Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said that Allah, the Exalted has said: I shall accept the prayers of one who: exhibits humility before My Greatness; restrains himself from his base and carnal desires for My sake; passes his day in My remembrance; does not seek to show his greatness over My creation;

18 feeds the hungry ones; clothes the bare ones; acts with kindness and mercy to those in misery and trouble; provides shelter to those who are strangers (in his city) and away from their homes. Wasa`ilush Shi`a, Volume 15, Page Prayers Accepted? In What Measure? ع ن ا ب ع ب د ال ه (ع) ق ال : م ن ا ح ب أن ي ع ل م ا ق ب ل ت ص لا ت ه ا م ل م ت ق ب ل ف ل ي ن ظ ر ه ل م ن ع ت ه ص لا ت ه ع ن الف ح ش اء و ال م ن ر ف ب ق د ر م ا م ن ع ت ه ق ب ل ت م نه. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: One who desires to know whether his prayers have been accepted or not should observe if his prayers have restrained him from evil and sinful acts. (If yes,) then the measure in which they have restrained him is the measure of his prayers that have been accepted. Biharul Anwar, Volume 82, Page Prayers and the Wilayah of the Ahlul Bayt ق ال الر ج ل ل ز ين ال ع اب د ين (ع): م ا س ب ب ق ب ول ه ا ق ال (ع): و لا ي ت ن ا و ال ب ر اء ة م ن ا ع د اي ن ا. Once a person asked Imam Zainul `Abidin (peace be upon him): What is the criterion for the acceptance of prayers? The Imam (peace be upon him) replied: Acknowledging our Wilayah and dissociating oneself from our enemies. Biharul Anwar, Volume 84, Page Obligatory and Recommended Prayers ع ن ا ب ج ع ف ر (ع) ق ال : ا ن ال ع ب د ل ي ر ف ع ل ه م ن ص لا ت ه ن ص ف ه ا ا و ث ل ث ه ا ا و ر ب ع ه ا ا و خ م س ه ا ف م ا ي ر ف ع ل ه ا لا م ا ا ق ب ل ع ل ي ه ب ق ل ب ه و ا ن م ا ا م ر ن ا ب الن اف ل ة ل ي ت م ل ه م ب ه ا م ا ن ق ص وا م ن ال ف ر يض ة.

19 Imam Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) has said: The prayer that is offered by a person, sometimes half of it ascends upwards, while at other times it is only one-third, or one-fourth or one-fifth that ascends. Only that portion of the prayer which the person has offered with concentration and mindfulness of the heart is made to ascend. (And so) the people have been ordered to offer the recommended prayers so that they can make up for what has been left incomplete of their obligatory prayers. Al-Haqa iq, Page Prayers with Adhan & Iqamah ق ال ا ب و ع ب د ال ه (ع): م ن ص ل ب ا ذ ان و ا ق ام ة ص ل خ ل ف ه ص ف ان م ن ال م لا ي ة و م ن ص ل ب ا ق ام ة ب غ ي ر ا ذ ان ص ل خ ل ف ه ص ف و اح د م ن ال م لا ي ة. ق ل ت ل ه : و ك م م ق د ار ك ل ص ف. ف ق ال (ع): ا ق ل ه م ا ب ي ن ال م ش ر ق ا ل ال م غ ر ب و ا ك ث ر ه م ا ب ي ن الس م اء و الا ر ض. Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: One who offers his prayers along with Adhan and Iqamah, two rows of angels pray behind him, while one who offers his prayers with only the Iqamah and without the Adhan, one row of angels pray behind him. The Imam (peace be upon him) was asked: And how long is each row? The Imam (peace be upon him) replied: At the very minimum, its length is the distance between East and West, while at the maximum, its length is the distance between the earth and the heavens.
