The Comfort of Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of prayer and how it can bring comfort to people.

Narrated A man: Salim ibn AbulJa'dah said: A man said: (Mis'ar said: I think he was from the tribe of Khuza'ah): would that I had prayed, and got comfort. The people objected to him for it. Thereupon he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah as saying: O Bilal, call iqamah for prayer: give us comfort by it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرُ بْنُ كِدَامٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ - قَالَ مِسْعَرٌ أُرَاهُ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ - لَيْتَنِي صَلَّيْتُ فَاسْتَرَحْتُ فَكَأَنَّهُمْ عَابُوا عَلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ يَا بِلاَلُ أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ أَرِحْنَا بِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of prayer in Islam. It was narrated by Salim ibn AbulJa'dah who said that a man from the tribe of Khuza'ah wished he had prayed and found comfort in it. People objected to him for this but he replied that he heard Prophet Muhammad say “O Bilal, call iqamah for prayer; give us comfort by it”. This shows us that prayer is an obligation upon all Muslims and brings peace and tranquility to those who perform it regularly. It also teaches us that we should not be ashamed or embarrassed if we are late in performing our prayers as they are still beneficial even if done late or with a delay. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to pray together as a community so that we can benefit from each other's presence during worship and find solace in our collective faithfulness towards Allah SWT.
