Sunan Ibn Majah 1139 (Book 5, Hadith 337) #30491
The Reward of Devotion

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that if a believer prays and then sits in contemplation, they will be rewarded for their devotion.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Salam said: "I said, when the Messenger of Allah was sitting: 'We find in the Book of Allah that on Friday there is an hour when no believing slave performs prayer and asks Allah for anything at that time, but Allah will fulfill his need.’" 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah pointed to me, saying: 'Or some part of an hour.’ I said: 'you are right, or some part of an hour.’ I said: 'What time is that?’ He said: 'It is the last hours of the day.’ I said: 'It is not the time of the prayer?’ He said: 'Yes (it is so), when a believing slave performs prayer and then sits with nothing but the prayer keeping him, he is still in a state of prayer.’"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ جَالِسٌ إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ سَاعَةٌ لاَ يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ يُصَلِّي يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا شَيْئًا إِلاَّ قَضَى لَهُ حَاجَتَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ أَوْ بَعْضُ سَاعَةٍ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ صَدَقْتَ، أَوْ بَعْضُ سَاعَةٍ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ: أَىُّ سَاعَةٍ هِيَ؟ قَالَ: ‏"‏ هِيَ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ سَاعَاتِ النَّهَارِ ‏"‏ قُلْتُ: إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ سَاعَةَ صَلاَةٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ: ‏"‏ بَلَى. إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا صَلَّى ثُمَّ جَلَسَ، لاَ يَحْبِسُهُ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةُ، فَهُوَ فِي صَلاَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of prayer and contemplation. It was narrated by 'Abdullah bin Salam that when the Prophet Muhammad was sitting, he said that there is an hour on Friday where any believing slave who prays and asks Allah for anything will have their need fulfilled. The Prophet Muhammad then clarified that it is not necessarily an entire hour but some part of it. He further explained that this time is during the last hours of the day, which is also known as prayer time. In other words, if a believer prays and then sits in contemplation without any distractions or worldly matters keeping them from focusing on Allah, they will be rewarded for their devotion to Him.
