Sahih al-Bukhari 7246 (Book 95, Hadith 1) #6960
Teaching Religion and Praying

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised young men to go back to their families and teach them religion and order them to do good deeds. He also instructed them on how to pray.

Narrated Malik: We came to the Prophet ﷺ and we were young men nearly of equal ages and we stayed with him for twenty nights. Allah's Messenger ﷺ was a very kind man and when he realized our longing for our families, he asked us about those whom we had left behind. When we informed him, he said, "Go back to your families and stay with them and teach them (religion) and order them (to do good deeds). The Prophet ﷺ mentioned things some of which I remembered and some I did not. Then he said, "Pray as you have seen me praying, and when it is the time of prayer, one of you should pronounce the call (Adhan) for the prayer and the eldest of you should lead the prayer".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، قَالَ أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ شَبَبَةٌ مُتَقَارِبُونَ، فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَفِيقًا، فَلَمَّا ظَنَّ أَنَّا قَدِ اشْتَهَيْنَا أَهْلَنَا أَوْ قَدِ اشْتَقْنَا سَأَلَنَا عَمَّنْ تَرَكْنَا بَعْدَنَا فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَهْلِيكُمْ، فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِمْ، وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ، وَمُرُوهُمْ ـ وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ أَحْفَظُهَا أَوْ لاَ أَحْفَظُهَا ـ وَصَلُّوا كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُصَلِّي، فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ، وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Malik speaks of the importance of teaching religion and praying. It is a reminder for us that we should take the time to teach our families about Islam so that they can live according to its teachings. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) instructed young men who were staying with him for twenty nights about how they should go back home and teach their families about religion as well as ordering them to do good deeds. He also taught them how they should pray - one of the most important aspects of Islam - by instructing one person among them to call out the Adhan for prayer while another leads it. This hadith emphasizes the importance of teaching our families about Islam so that we can all live according to its teachings in order for us all be successful in this life and in the hereafter.
