Sunan Abi Dawud 796 (Book 2, Hadith 406) #21087
The Power of Prayer

SUMMARY: A man's prayer is recorded even if he only says a fraction of it.

'Ammar b. Yasir said: I heard the apostle of Allah say: A man returns after saying his prayer while a tenth part of his prayer, or a ninth part, or an eight part, or a seventh part, or a sixth part, or a fifth part, or a third part, or half of it, is recorded for him.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بَكْرٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُضَرَ - عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَنَمَةَ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَنْصَرِفُ وَمَا كُتِبَ لَهُ إِلاَّ عُشْرُ صَلاَتِهِ تُسْعُهَا ثُمُنُهَا سُبُعُهَا سُدُسُهَا خُمُسُهَا رُبُعُهَا ثُلُثُهَا نِصْفُهَا

Make meaningful prayers with faithfulness and devotion

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the power of prayer and how even a small portion of it can be recorded for us. It is narrated by 'Ammar b. Yasir who heard the Prophet Muhammad say that when a man returns after saying his prayer, whether it be one tenth or one half or any other proportion, Allah will record it for him. This shows us that no matter how small our prayers may seem to us, they are still valuable in the eyes of Allah and will be rewarded accordingly. We should never underestimate the power of supplication and strive to make our prayers as meaningful as possible so that we can reap its full benefits in this life and in the hereafter.
