The Prayer of Repentance

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that the prayer of a repentant should be observed when the young weaned camels feel the heat of the sun.

Zaid b. Arqam reported that the Messenger of Allah went out to the people of Quba' and saw them observing prayer; upon this he said: The prayer of the penitent should be observed when the young weaned camels feel heat of the sun.
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَهْلِ قُبَاءٍ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ صَلاَةُ الأَوَّابِينَ إِذَا رَمِضَتِ الْفِصَالُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of repentance and prayer in Islam. It is narrated by Zaid b. Arqam that Prophet Muhammad went to Quba' and saw people observing prayer. He then said that a repentant's prayer should be observed when young weaned camels feel heat from the sun. This hadith emphasizes on how important it is for Muslims to pray regularly and sincerely seek repentance from Allah for their sins as soon as possible so they can receive His mercy and forgiveness. It also shows us how much emphasis was placed on punctuality in prayers even during those times when there were no clocks or watches available to tell time accurately. The Prophet used an example from nature - young weaned camels feeling heat from the sun - to explain this concept which shows us how closely connected our faith is with nature itself and how important it is for us to observe its signs in order to live our lives according to Islamic teachings properly.
