1135 - المُحافَظَةُ عَلى‏ أوقاتِ الصَّلاةِ

1135. Observance of the Prescribed Timings of the Prayer

(فَوَيْلٌ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ * الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلاتِهِمْ ساهُونَ).1

“Woe to them who pray – those who are heedless of their prayers.”2

(وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَواتِهِمْ يُحافِظُونَ * أُولئِكَ هُمُ الوارِثُونَ * الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَلِدُونَ).3

“…and who are mindful of their prayers. It is they who will be the inheritors, who will inherit Paradise: they will dwell therein forever.”4

3637.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : حَسبُ الرَّجُلِ مِن دِينِهِ، كَثرَةُ مُحافَظَتِهِ على‏ إقامَةِ الصَّلَواتِ .5

3637.The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘The worth of a man with respect to his religion is measured by his diligence to keeping up his daily prayers [at their specific times].’6

3638.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - مِن كتابِهِ لمحمّدِ بنِ أبي بكرٍ - : اِرتَقِبْ وَقتَ الصَّلاةِ فَصَلِّها لِوَقتِها، ولا تَعَجَّلْ بها قَبلَهُ لِفَرَاغٍ، ولا تُؤخِّرْها عَنهُ لِشُغلٍ .7

3638. Imam Ali (AS) wrote in a letter to Muhammad b. Abu Bakr, ‘Observe the timing of the prayer and perform it at its prescribed time, neither hastening to pray it earlier in order to be free of it, nor delaying it because of some work.’8

1134 - النَّهيُ عَنِ التَّكاسُلِ فِي الصَّلاةِ

1134. PROHIBITION OF LAZINESS IN PRAYER

(إِنَّ المُنافِقِينَ يُخادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ خادِعُهُمْ وَإِذا قامُوا إلَى الصَّلاةِ قامُوا كُسالى‏ يُرَاؤُونَ النَّاسَ وَلا يَذكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إلَّا قَلِيلاً).1

“The hypocrites indeed seek to deceive Allah, but it is he who outwits them. When they stand up for prayer, they stand up lazily, showing off to the people and not remembering Allah except a little.”2

3634.بحار الأنوار : في حديثِ المِعراجِ: يا أحمدُ، عَجِبتُ من ثَلاثَةِ عَبيدٍ : عَبدٍ دَخَلَ في الصَّلاةِ وهُو يَعلَمُ إلى‏ مَن يَرفَعُ يَدَيهِ وقُدَّامَ مَن هُو، وهُو يَنعَسُ ...3

3634. It is narrated within the tradition about the Prophet’s ascension that [Allah addressed the Prophet (SAWA) saying], ‘O Ahmad, how I wonder at three types of servant: one who starts his prayer knowing full well Who he raises his hands to and in front of Whom he stands, and yet remains drowsy …’4

3635.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إذا غَلَبَتكَ عَينُكَ وأنتَ في الصَّلاةِ فاقطَعِ الصَّلاةَ ونَم؛ فإنَّكَ لا تَدرِي تَدعُو لك أو على‏ نفسِكَ !5

3635.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘When sleep overcomes you while you are in your prayer, then break your prayer and go to sleep, for verily [in that state] you do not know if you are praying for or against yourself!’6

3636.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام : لا تَقُمْ إلى الصَّلاةِ مُتَكاسِلاً ولا مُتَناعِساً ولا مُتَثاقِلاً ؛ فإنّها مِن خَلَلِ النِّفاقِ، وإنَّ اللَّهَ نَهَى المؤمنينَ أن يَقُومُوا إلى الصَّلاةِ وهُم سُكارى‏ يَعنِي مِنَ النَّومِ .7

3636.Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘Do not stand for prayer lazily, drowsily or sluggishly for verily these are from among the disturbances brought about by hypocrisy, and verily Allah has prohibited the believers from standing for prayer while they are intoxicated, which means when intoxicated by sleep.’8
