Forty Ahadith on Salat
- Prayers at their Times ===========================
قَالَ الصَّادِقُ (ع): إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا صَلَّى الصَّلاَةَ فِي وَقْـتِهَا وَ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا ارْتَفَعَتْ بَيْضَاءَ نَقِيَّةً تَقُولُ حَفِظْتَنِي حَفِظَكَ اللٌّهُ وَ إِذَا لَمْ يُصَلِّهَا لِوَقْتِهَا وَ لَمْ يُحَافِظْ عَلَيْهَا ارْتَفَعَتْ سَوْدَاءَ مُظْلِمَةً تَقُولُ ضَيَّعْتَنِي ضَيَّعَكَ اللٌّهُ.
Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: “When a person maintains
his prayer and offers it at its stipulated time, it ascends in the form
of a pure white light and calls out to him: “You have guarded me, may
Allah protect you.” But if he does not maintain his prayer and does not
offer it at its decreed time, it ascends as a dark and gloomy form and
says to him: You have destroyed me, may Allah destroy you.”** **
