00:00:56.030 --> 00:01:02.030 The recommendation to straighten the rows, establish them, and stand shoulder-to-shoulder and foot-to-foot. 00:01:02.030 --> 00:01:05.349 The Shaytan enters through the gaps. 00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:08.700 To corrupt the hearts of those praying. 00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:12.700 A Muslim should maintain what Allah has commanded to be maintained. 00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:15.700 Among this is connecting the rows and filling the gaps. 00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:18.700 And constricting the Shaytan. 00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:20.930 Whoever opposes the command of Allah, 00:01:20.930 --> 00:01:23.930 He is on the edge of a crumbling precipice. 00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:28.140 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:32.140 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:36.140 "Close up your rows, bring them close together," 00:01:36.140 --> 00:01:39.140 "And align your necks."

were small black sheep." 00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:49.209 Narrated by Abu Dawud. 00:01:49.209 --> 00:01:51.340 The *hadhaf* (mentioned in the hadith), 00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:55.340 Are small black sheep

By aligning the feet and shoulders. 00:02:06.650 --> 00:02:11.650 An explanation of the reason for which the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commanded, 00:02:11.650 --> 00:02:13.650 The closing of the rows, 00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:16.650 And their straightening and bringing them close together, 00:02:16.650 --> 00:02:19.650 So that no gaps remain for the Shaytan, 00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:23.099 Because he enters through them. 00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:28.099 Straightening the rows is among the means of suppressing the Shaytan that nullifies his whispers, 00:02:28.099 --> 00:02:31.099 Destroys his plot, and burns his soldiers, 00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:34.099 And repels the evil he possesses. 00:02:34.099 --> 00:02:38.280 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.280 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:47.280 "Complete the front row, then the one that follows it," 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.280 "And whatever is lacking, let it be in the last row." 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.439 Narrated by Abu Dawud. 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.400 From the

00:03:06.689 --> 00:03:09.689 So that it is possible for those who come late, 00:03:09.689 --> 00:03:13.810 To join the prayer. 00:03:13.810 --> 00:03:16.810 On the authority of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: 00:03:16.810 --> 00:03:20.840 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:25.840 "Indeed, Allah and His angels invoke

--> 00:03:44.289 "So that he would turn his face toward us." 00:03:45.289 --> 00:03:51.449 "O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the day You resurrect or gather Your servants." 00:03:51.449 --> 00:03:53.449 Narrated by Muslim. 00:03:53.449 --> 00:03:57.340 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:02.629 The recommendation to pray behind the Imam, and then to his right. 00:04:02.629 --> 00:04:08.979 It is from the Sunnah that the Imam turns his face toward those praying after the taslim. 00:04:08.979 --> 00:04:11.979 From the prescribed dhikr after the obligatory prayer: 00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:16.980 "O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the day You resurrect Your servants." 00:04:16.980 --> 00:04:21.259 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be

Habibah Ramlah bint Abi Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:05:01.220 --> 00:05:06.220 I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, say: 00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:13.250 "There is no Muslim servant who prays twelve rak‘ahs for Allah the Almighty every day," 00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:15.250 "Voluntarily, other than the obligatory," 00:05:15.250 --> 00:05:19.250 "Except that Allah will build a house for him in Paradise," 00:05:19.250 --> 00:05:23.310 "Or: Except that a house will be built for him in Paradise." 00:05:23.310 --> 00:05:26.339

Almighty holds servants accountable for their deeds. 00:05:37.819 --> 00:05:43.360 Issuing rulings in the Shari‘ah is dependent on the nature of the deed. 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:49.779 Paradise is populated for its inhabitants according to their deeds. 00:05:49.779 --> 00:05:54.899 On the authority of Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: 00:05:54.899 --> 00:05:59.899 "I

Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, prayed them. 00:06:23.819 --> 00:06:29.459 Praying voluntary prayers in the home is better than in the mosque. 00:06:29.459 --> 00:06:34.829 On the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:06:34.829 --> 00:06:38.829 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 00:06:38.829 --> 00:06:41.860 "Between every two calls (adhan and iqamah) there is a prayer." 00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:44.860 "Between every two calls there is a prayer." 00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:48.860

00:06:55.310 --> 00:06:57.310 What is meant by the "two calls" 00:06:57.310 --> 00:07:01.939 Is the Adhan and the Iqamah. 00:07:01.939 --> 00:07:03.939 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:07:03.939

00:07:13.490 As long as the obligatory prayer has not yet been performed. 00:07:13.490 --> 00:07:17.000 Evidence that a command implies obligation, 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.000 Unless there is an

Allah be pleased with her, 00:07:32.089 --> 00:07:35.089 That the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:07:35.089 --> 00:07:38.089 Would not abandon four before Dhuhr, 00:07:38.089 --> 00:07:41.089 And two before the morning prayer. 00:07:41.089 --> 00:07:44.279 Narrated by al-Bukhari. 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.079 "The morning" means the Subh prayer. 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.300 From the benefits of the hadith: 00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:54.490 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:07:54.490 --> 00:07:57.490 Would sometimes pray four before Dhuhr, 00:07:57.490 --> 00:08:00.490 And sometimes two. 00:08:00.490 --> 00:08:03.490 This is a matter of variety, 00:08:03.490 --> 00:08:06.490 So he would do this sometimes and that other times. 00:08:06.490 --> 00:08:10.160 The morning Sunnah is emphasized, 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.160 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, maintained it, 00:08:13.160 -->

The concern of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:47.100 For the two rak‘ahs of the morning Sunnah, 00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:51.379 Was greater than for other

They are better than the world and what is in it. 00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:29.500 The delight of the believer is in prayer, 00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:32.500 Because it is a connection, tranquility, and peace. 00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:36.940 On the authority of Abu ‘Abdullah, 00:09:36.940 --> 00:09:39.940 Bilal ibn Rabah, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:42.940 The mu'adhdhin of

00:09:48.940 To inform him of the morning prayer, 00:09:49.940 --> 00:09:52.940 But ‘A’ishah occupied Bilal with a matter she asked him about, 00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:55.940 Until it became very bright. 00:09:55.940 --> 00:09:58.970 So Bilal stood and informed him of the prayer, 00:09:58.970 --> 00:10:01.970 And continued his call. 00:10:01.970 --> 00:10:04.970 But the Messenger of Allah,
