Sunan Ibn Majah 1375 (Book 5, Hadith 573) #30727
Illuminating Houses with Prayer

SUMMARY: Prayer in the house is a light that should be illuminated.

It was narrated that 'Asim bin 'Amr said: "A group from the people of 'Iraq came to 'Umar and when they came to him, he said to them: 'Where are you from?’ They said: 'From the inhabitants of 'Iraq.’ He said: 'Have you come with permission?’ They said: 'Yes.’ Then they asked him about a man’s prayer in his house'.Umar said: 'I asked the Messenger of Allah and he said: "As for a man’s prayer in his house, it is light, so illuminate your houses.’"" Another chain with similar wording.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ خَرَجَ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُمْ مِمَّنْ أَنْتُمْ قَالُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَبِإِذْنٍ جِئْتُمْ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ الرَّجُلِ فِي بَيْتِهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَمَّا صَلاَةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَنُورٌ فَنَوِّرُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عُمَيْرٍ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ نَحْوَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of prayer in one's home. It was narrated by 'Asim bin 'Amr that a group of people from Iraq came to Umar and asked him about praying in one's house. Umar then told them what he heard from the Prophet Muhammad, which was that prayer in one's house is like a light, so it should be illuminated. This means that we should make sure to pray regularly at home, as it will bring us closer to Allah and help us stay on the right path. We can also use this hadith as an example of how we should seek knowledge from those who are more knowledgeable than us, such as Umar seeking knowledge from Prophet Muhammad himself. Additionally, this hadith teaches us to take care of our homes and keep them clean and tidy for when we pray there; this will help create an atmosphere conducive for worshiping Allah properly.
