Praying Despite Quarrelsomeness

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ came to 'Ali and Fatimah at night and asked them why they weren't praying. 'Ali replied that their souls were in the hands of Allah, and the Prophet ﷺ left without saying anything else. He then said "But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything" as he walked away.

'Ali bin Husain narrated that Husain bin 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) told him that 'Ali bin Abi Talib told him that The Prophet came to him and Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet , at night and said: "Why don't you get up and pray?' I 'Ali said: O Messenger of Allah, indeed our souls are in the hand of Allah; if He wants to wake us up He will wake us up. He left when I said that and did not say anything back to me. Then I heard him say, whilst he was turning away and striking his thigh: "But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything' Al-Kahf 18:54'.Ali bin Husain (رضي الله عنه) narrated that his father, Husain bin 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) told him that 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) told him that The Messenger of Allah came to him and Fatimah at night. and he mentioned a similar report.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَنْبَأَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، أَنَّ حُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ طَرَقَهُ وَفَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ابْنَةَ النَّبِيِّ لَيْلَةً فَقَالَ أَلَا تُصَلِّيَانِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا بِيَدِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنَا بَعَثَنَا فَانْصَرَفَ حِينَ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ وَهُوَ مُوَلٍّ يَضْرِبُ فَخِذَهُ يَقُولُ ‏{‏وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا‏}‏‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ طَرَقَهُ هُوَ وَفَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ‏.‏

Strive for prayer despite distractions or excuses

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of prayer despite our quarrelsome nature. It was narrated by Ali bin Husain who heard it from his father Husain bin Ali who heard it from Ali bin Abi Talib, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ came to him and Fatimah one night asking why they weren't praying yet, to which 'Ali replied that their souls were in the hands of Allah; if He wanted them to wake up He would wake them up. The Prophet ﷺ then left without saying anything else but uttered a verse from Surah Al-Kahf which states "But man is ever more quarrelsome than anything". This hadith teaches us that despite our human nature being prone to quarrelsomeness, we should still strive for prayer as it is an important part of our faith and relationship with God Almighty. We should not let any distractions or excuses stop us from fulfilling this obligation as believers in Islam.
