Bulugh al-Maram

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Bilal calls for prayer when it is still night, so eat and drink till Ibn Umm Maktum calls for prayer." And he (Ibn Umm Maktum) was a blind man who did not call for a prayer until he was told: "It is morning time, it is morning time." . There is an Idraj in its last part.

Bilal called for prayer before dawn and the Prophet (ﷺ) told him to return and announce: "Lo! the slave of Allah (i.e. Bilal) had slept (hence this mistake)". .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "When you hear the Adhan repeat what the Mu'adhdhin (the call-maker) says." .

And al-Bukhari has reported similarly in a narration by Mu'awiyah (RA).

"Haiya 'alas-Salah, Haiya 'alal-Falah (Come to the prayer and come to the success)", one should say: "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah ."

He said, "O Messenger of Allah, appointment as the Imam (leader) of my people (in prayers). He (ﷺ) said: "You are their Imam, but you should follow (observe the strength of) the weakest among them and appoint a Mu'adhdhin who does not charge for the call of Adhan." .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to us, "When the time of Salat (prayer) comes, one of you should announce the Adhan." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Bilal, "When you announce the Adhan, utter deliberately and when you pronounce the Iqamah utter quickly, and leave between your Adhan and your Iqamah time for one who is eating to finish his food." .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "No one should announce Adhan except the one who has performed the ablution". . So the narration is weak whether Marfu' or Mawquf (saying of a Companion).

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The one who announces the Adhan should also pronounce the Iqamah." .

I saw it, i.e. the Adhan (in a vision) and I wanted to announce it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "You pronounce the Iqamah." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The Mu'adhdhin has more right to pronounce the Iqamah." .

al-Baihaqi has reported a similar narration from the saying of 'Ali (RA).

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "A supplication made between the Adhan and Iqamah is not rejected." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If anyone says when he hears the Adhan: 'O Allah! Lord of this perfect call and of the regular prayer which is going to be established! Kindly give Muhammad (ﷺ) the right of intercession and superiority, and send him (on the Day of Judgement) to the best and highest place in Paradise which You promised him', he will be assured of my intercession on the Day of Judgement." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "When one of you releases air (through his anus) during Salat (prayer), he should break the Salat (prayer) then perform ablution and repeat the prayer." .

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Whoever vomits, bleeds through the nose, or released Madhi (urethral discharge) should go, perform ablution and then complete his Salat (prayer) (by continuing from where he had stopped at) on condition that he does not speak in the process”. Reported by Ibn Majah and it was graded weak by Ahmed.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The Salat (prayer) of a woman, who has reached puberty, is not accepted unless she is wearing a Khimar." .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If the garment is ample, wrap it round your body i.e. during the Salat (prayer)." A narration by Muslim has: "you should cross the two ends, and if it is tight, you should wrap it round your waist." .

None of you should offer Salat (prayer) in a single garment with no part of it on his shoulders. .

She asked the Prophet (ﷺ), "Can a woman pray in a long dress and a veil without wearing a lower garment?" He replied, "If the long dress is ample and covers the surface of her feet." .

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) during a dark night and we became uncertain about the Qiblah (the direction of Makkah) we then prayed (without being certain). When the run rose, we discovered that we prayed towards a direction other than the Qiblah. So this Verse was revealed: "...so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces, there is the Face of Allah..." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The direction between the east and west is Qiblah." .

I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) praying while mounted on his riding animal facing whatever direction it faced. .

"Making gestures with his head and he did not do that (pray while mounted) with obligatory prayers."

When traveled, and intended to pray a voluntary prayer, he used to direct his riding camel towards the Qiblah, say, "Allahu Akbar" and pray facing whatever direction it faced. .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The whole earth is a mosque (to pray on) except a graveyard and a toilet." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade prayer at seven places; a dump, a slaughter house, a graveyard, the middle of the path, a bathroom, and where camels sit at a watering place and on (roof) of the Ka'bah. .

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say, "Don't pray towards graves and don't sit on them."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "When any of you comes to the mosque he should look and if he sees impurity on his sandals (shoes) he should wipe them and then pray in them." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If one of you steps on filth with his two leather socks then the earth is their purification." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Talking is not befitting during the Salat (prayer), for it (prayer) consists only of glorifying Allah, declaring His Greatness and the recitation of the Qur'an." .

We used to talk while engaged in Salat (prayer) during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one would talk with his companion regarding his needs in prayer till (this verse) was revealed: "Guard strictly the prayers, especially the middle prayer; and stand before Allah with obedience," then we were commanded to observe silence (in prayer) and were forbidden to talk. .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Glorification of Allah (i.e. saying) is for men and clapping of hands is for women." .

"during Salat (prayer)".

Narrated Mutarrif bin Abdullah bin Shikhkhir (RA) from his father, who said, "I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he was engaged in prayer, and heard a sound from his chest, like the bubbling of a pot, from weeping." .

"I had the permission of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to see him in his house at two times, and whenever I entered to him while he was praying he would clear his throat as a sign to me." .

I asked Bilal (RA), "How did you observe the Prophet (ﷺ) replying to their (the Companions) salutation while he was engaged in prayer?" He (Bilal) said: "He used to do this way," and he (Bilal) demonstrated by spreading his palm. .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was (one time) offering prayer while he was carrying Umama, daughter of Zainab, when he prostrated he put her down and when he stood up he lifted her up. .

"While he (ﷺ) led the people in the prayer in the masjid..."

"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Kill the two black ones during Salat (prayer), the snake and the scorpion." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If the person who passes in front of another person in prayer knew the magnitude of his sin, it would have been better for him to wait for forty than pass in front of him." .

"forty years."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was asked in the expedition of Tabuk about the Sutra of the person who is offering the prayer; he said , "It is (something) like the back of a saddle." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Let one of you who is in Salat (prayer) put a Sutra in front of him even if it is an arrow." .

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "In case there is not before him (an object) like the back of a saddle, a Muslim's Salat (prayer) would be cut off by (the passing of) a woman, a donkey and a black dog." And it concludes: "the black dog is a devil." .

Muslim also reported through Abu Hurairah (RA) a similar Hadith without the mention of Kalb (dog).

In another narration Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i reported through Ibn Abbas (RA) a similar report without its end and connected the prohibition of a woman passing in front of a praying person to the state of being in her menstruation period.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If one of you prays towards an object separating him from the people and someone tries to pass (between him and the object) in front of him, let him turn him away but if he refuses he should fight him for he is a devil." .

"for there is a Satan with him."
