“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)wasforbidden to recite Qunut in Fajr.”

It wasnarrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)usedto recite Qunut in the Subh prayer, and he used to supplicate initagainst one of the Arab tribes for a month, then he stopped doingso.

“When the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ)raised his head from Ruku’ in the Subh prayer, he said: ‘OAllah,save Al-Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham and ‘Ayyash bin AbuRabi’ah, and the oppressed in Makkah. O Allah, tighten Your grip onMudar, and send them years of famine like the famine of Yusuf.”

It wasnarrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) commandedkillingthe two black ones during prayer; the scorpion and the snake.

“The Prophet (ﷺ) was stung by ascorpion while he was performing prayer, and he said: ‘May Allahcursethe scorpion, for it does not spare anyone, whether he ispraying ornot. Kill them whether you are in Ihram or not.’” InAl-Hill (outsidethe sacred precincts of Makkah) or Al-Haram (thesacred precincts orMakkah).

It wasnarrated from Ibn Abu Rafi’, from his father, from hisgrandfather,that the Prophet (ﷺ) killed a scorpion while he waspraying.

prayer after the Fajr until the sun has risen,andprayer after ‘Asr until the sun has set.

“There is no prayer after the ‘Asr until the sun has set, andthere is no prayer after the Fajr until the sun has risen.”

“Good men among whom was ‘Umarbin Khattab, and the best of them in my view is ‘Umar, testifiedbefore me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘There is noprayerafter Fajr until the sun has risen, and there is no prayerafter the‘Asr until the sun has set.’”

“I came to the Messengerof Allah (ﷺ) and said: ‘Is there any time that is more beloved toAllah than another?’ He said: ‘Yes, the middle of the night, soprayas much as you want until dawn comes. Then refrain from prayinguntilthe sun has risen, and as long as it looks like a shield untilitbecomes apparent. Then pray as much as you want until a polestands onits shadow (i.e., noon), then refrain from praying until ithascrossed the zenith, for Hell is heated up at midday. Then pray asmuchas you want until you pray ‘Asr, then refrain from prayinguntil thesun has set, for it sets between the two horns of Satan andit risesbetween the two horns of Satan.’”

“Safwan bin Mu’attal askedtheMessenger of Allah (ﷺ): ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to ask youabout something of which you have knowledge and I know nothing.’ Hesaid: ‘What is it?’ He said: ‘Is there any time of the night ordaywhen it is disliked to perform prayer? He said: ‘Yes, when youhaveprayed the Subh, then do not pray until the sun has risen, foritrises between the two horns of Satan. Then pray, for the prayer isattended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until the sunisright overhead like a spear. For at that time Hell is heated upandits gates are opened. (Then refrain from prayer) until the sunpassesthe zenith. Then when it has passed the zenith, the prayer isattended(by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until you praythe ‘Asr.Then stop praying until the sun has set.’”

“The sun rises between the two horns of Satan” or hesaid “The two horns of Satan rise with it, and when it has risen,Satan parts from it. When it is in the middle of the sky heaccompanies it, then when it has crossed the zenith he parts from it.When it is about to set, he accompanies it, and when it has set heparts from it. So do no pray at these three times.”

“The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: ‘O Banu ‘Abd Manaf! Do not prevent anyone fromcircumambulating this House or praying at any time he wants of thedayor night.”

“The Messenger ofAllah (ﷺ) said: ‘You may come across people who offer a prayer atthe wrong time. If you meet them, then perform prayer in your housesat the time that you know, then pray with them and make thatvoluntary.”

“Offerprayeron time, and if you reached the Imam leading them in prayers(ontime), then perform it with them, and you will be safe with yourprayer, otherwise it will be voluntary for you.”

“Therewill be leaders who will be distracted by matters and they willdelaythe prayer until after its proper time. So make your prayer withthemvoluntary.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)saidconcerning the fear prayer: “The Imam should lead one group inprayer, and they should perform one prostration, and there should beanother group between them and the enemy (guarding them). Then thosewho did the prostration with their leader should move away, and takethe place of those who have not yet prayed. Then those who have notyet prayed should come forward and perform one prostration with theirleader. Then their leader should move away, and his prayer will becomplete. Then each group should perform one prostration by itself.Ifthe fear is too great, then (they should pray) on foot orriding.’” Hesaid: What is meant by prostration here is a Rak’ah.

“The Imam should stand facing the Qiblah, and a group ofthem should stand with him, and another group should stand in thedirection of the enemy, facing towards the row (of worshippers). Heshould lead them in one Rak’ah, then they should bow and do twoprostrations by themselves where they are. Then they should go andtake the place of the others, and the others should come and pray oneRak’ah, bowing and prostrating with the leader. Then he will haveprayed two Rak’ah and they will have prayed one; then they shouldperform another Rak’ah, bowing and performing two prostrations.”

It wasnarrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that the Prophet (ﷺ) ledhisCompanions in the fear prayer. He led them all in bowing, then theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the row nearest him prostrated, and theothers stood up, then when he stood up, they prostrated twice bythemselves. Then the front row moved back and took their place, andthey moved forward until they formed the front row. Then the Prophet(ﷺ) led them all in bowing, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) andthe row nearest to him prostrated, and when they raised their heads,the others prostrated twice. So all of them bowed with the Prophet(ﷺ) and some of them prostrated by themselves, and the enemy was inthe direction of the Qiblah.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said:“The sun and the moon do not become eclipsed for the death ofanyone among mankind. If you see that, then stand and performprayer.”
