Strive for excellence in worship, strive to emulate Prophet Muhammad's example, take care with what we recite during prayers .

This hadith speaks about the importance of praying like Prophet Muhammad. It was narrated by Abu Huraira that he has never prayed behind anyone whose prayer more closely resembled that of the Messenger of Allah than so-and-so. The narrator Sulaiman said that this person used to make his Zuhr prayer lengthy in its first two rak'ahs and shorter in its last two, while making 'Asr shorter. In Maghrib, he would recite short Mufassal surahs, medium-length Mufassal surahs in Isha' and long Mufassal surahs in Subh. This hadith teaches us to strive to pray like our beloved prophet as it is one way for us to get closer to him and gain his blessings. We should also take care not only with how we pray but also with what we recite during our prayers as it can help us increase our rewards from Allah SWT.
