Recommended Acts of Prayer

Narrated by Bukhari & MuslimAuthentic hadith

If the one passing in front of a person who is praying would know the gravity of his sin, it would have been better for him to stand for forty than to pass in front him

Narrator in the source: أبو جهيم بن الحارث بن الصمة الأنصاري، بسر بن سعيد

Abu Juhaym ibn al-Hārith ibn As-Simmah al-Ansāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported directly from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "If the one passing in front of a person who is praying would know the gravity of his sin, it would have been better for him to stand for forty than to pass in front him." Abu An-Nadr said: "I am not sure if he said forty days, months, or years."

عن أبي جُهَيْمِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الصِّمَّةِ الأنصاري رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «لو يعلم المار بين يدي الْمُصَلِّي ماذا عليه لكان أن يَقِفَ أربعين خيرا له من أن يَمُرَّ بين يديه». قال أَبُو النَّضْرِ: لا أدري: قال أربعين يوما أو شهرا أو سنة.
Understand this hadith

The praying person is standing before his Lord, conversing with Him in privacy and calling upon Him. If someone passes by him in this state, he interrupts this private conversation and disturbs his worship. That is why it is a serious sin on the part of whoever causes disturbance of a person's prayer by passing in front of him. So the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that if a person would know the consequences of his passing; meaning: the sin and misdeed that he incurs, he would have preferred to stand in his place for extended periods of time than to pass in front of someone during his praying. Therefore, a Muslim must guard against this action and avoid it.

If the person passing in front of someone praying knew the extent of the guilt he is incurring, he would prefer to stand for forty rather than pass in front him

Busr ibn Sa‘īd reported that Zayd ibn Khālid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) sent him to Abu Juhaym (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask him about what he heard from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about the one who passes in front of the praying person.

Explanation and references for this wording

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warned against passing in front of a person performing an obligatory or supererogatory prayer, and that if he knew the extent of guilt he is incurring by doing this deliberately, he would choose to stand for forty rather than to pass in front of him. Abu an-Nadr, the Hadīth narrator, said: I am not sure if he said forty days, months, or years.

Original Arabic wording
عن أبي سعيد الْخُدْرِيِّ رضي الله عنه مرفوعًا: (إذا صلَّى أحدكم إلى شيء يَسْتُرُهُ من الناس، فأراد أحد أن يَجْتَازَ بين يديه فَلْيَدْفَعْهُ، فإن أبى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ؛ فإنما هو شيطان).
Understand this hadith

The Shariah enjoins caution and firmness in all matters. Prayer is the most important among all worldly and religious affairs. Therefore, the wise Lawgiver urges people to take care of it and orders the praying person to use something as a barrier between himself and the people so that they would not render his prayer deficient by passing in front of him as he worships his Lord and communicates privately with Him. If someone tries to pass before him, he should repel him in the easiest way possible. If he does not stop, however, he is no longer deemed inviolable, for he is now a transgressor. In such a situation, the only way to avert his aggression is to fight him by pushing him away forcefully. This is because his action is typical of the devils who seek to spoil people's acts of worship and cause them confusion during prayer.

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the Zhuhr Prayer should be delayed when the heat is intense, which is from the breathing and blaze of Hellfire, to a time when it is fairly cool, so that one is not distracted by heat and grief from submissiveness in prayer.

Opposing the People of the Book as well as eliminating difficulty and hardship are from the objectives of Shariah. Sa‘īd ibn Yazīd (a trustworthy Tābi‘i) asked Anas ibn Mālik if the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray with his shoes on, so that he would follow his example. It is also possible that he thought this to be unlikely because of the filth and dirt that shoes normally have. Anas replied in the affirmative, i.e. the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray while wearing his shoes and this practice is from his authentic Sunnah. It is not specific to a certain place or certain time.

Understand this hadith

Al-Barā ibn ‘Āzib (may Allah be pleased with him) describes the Prophet's prayer as he watched him closely to learn how he prayed and follow his example. He mentioned that all the Prophet's postures were in proportion. So, his standing for recitation and sitting for the Tashahhud were proportional to bowing, standing up after bowing, and prostration. He would not prolong his standing and shorten his bowing, nor would he prolong his prostration and shorten his standing. Rather, he would keep each posture commensurate with others. This does not mean that his standing and sitting for Tashahhud were exactly equal in length to his bowing and prostration. It means that he would not shorten one and prolong the other.

Some of the benefits of the Sutrah are: maintaining the prayer, staying away from things that reduce its reward, repelling any guilt from the passer-by, and sparing him any difficulty or embarrassment.

The Hadīth points out that it is recommended for a person to put something before him as a barrier when he offers prayer. That barrier can be anything he sets up in front of him, even if it were short or thin like an arrow. Indeed, this is one of the manifestations of the ease and leniency of the Islamic Shariah.

Understand this hadith

When someone stands up to pray, he should place a screen the height of the back of a saddle (approximately two-thirds of a cubit) in front of him, otherwise his prayer would be invalidated by the passing of any one of these three in front of him: a woman - restricted to a menstruating woman in the narration of Abu Dawūd - a donkey, or a black dog. However, if he places a screen in front of him, his prayer will be valid regardless of anything passing by on the other side of the screen, including those three. The narrator, ‘Abdullāh ibn As-Sāmit, asked: “O Abu Dharr: "What is the difference between a black dog and a red or a yellow dog?” Meaning: why did the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) single out a black dog? He said: “O nephew, I asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) the same question, and he answered: "A black dog is a devil.” According to the Saudi Arabian Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Iftā', this Hadīth means that the passing of a woman, a donkey, or a black dog in front of someone praying, renders the prayer void. However, some scholars thought that the intended meaning was that one’s focus in prayer would be interrupted or the prayer’s perfection would be compromised, rather than it would render the prayer void or invalid.
