Serving Family and Praying

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) kept himself busy serving his family and would go for prayer when it was time.

Narrated Al-Aswad: That he asked 'Aisha "What did the Prophet use to do in his house?" She replied, "He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was the time for prayer he would go for it".
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَصْنَعُ فِي بَيْتِهِ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي مِهْنَةِ أَهْلِهِ ـ تَعْنِي خِدْمَةَ أَهْلِهِ ـ فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of service to one's family as well as the importance of prayer. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was an example of how to balance both in life. He would spend his time taking care of his family, but also made sure to take out time for prayer. This teaches us that we should prioritize our duties and responsibilities, while also making sure that we are fulfilling our spiritual obligations. We should strive to be like the Prophet ﷺ in this regard, by balancing our worldly duties with our religious ones.
