Narrated sa’d ibn Iyas: the owner of this house, and he pointed to the house of Ibn Masoud told me:
I asked the Prophet r: "Which deed is the dearest to Allah?" He replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents" I again asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?"
He replied, 'To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's cause."
'Abdullah added, "I asked only that much and if I had asked more, the Prophet would have told me more."
Lessons learned from the hadith:
Praying salaat on time, parents rights and Jihaad are after the existence of Imaan.
It is virtuous to ask regarding knowledge to learn especially for the important things. We should not be afraid to ask usefull questions. We have gained great benefit from this question. How important it is to pray salaat on time.
Hadith #48
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with them:
The Messenger r used to pray Thuhr prayer at mid-day, the ‘Asr when the sun was still hot, and the Maghrib after sunset (at its stated time). The 'Isha was offered early if the people gathered, and used to be delayed if their number was less; and the morning prayer was offered when it was still dark. "
It is a clarification of the preferable times of the performance for the prayers.
Zuhr when sun declining from the zenith.
‘Asr when the sun still white and bright and when shadow is equal to its length.
Maghrib when the setting of the sun, the disc is not visible.
‘Isha would be according to the condition of the people. Quickly or delayed to either a third or a half of the night if it was not a hardship on the people.Shows the mercy of the Prophet (saw) towards the people.
Fajr was at the beginning of its time when the light of dawn mixes with the light of the night.
This Hadith is evidence that praying in congregation is more important than performing alone.
