Forty Ahadith on Salat
- Prayers and the Wilayah of the Ahlul Bayt ================================================
قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِزَينِ الْعَابِدِينَ (ع): مَا سَبَبُ قَـبُولِهَا؟ قَالَ (ع): وَلاَيَتُنَا وَ الْبَرَاءَةُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِنَا.
Once a person asked Imam Zainul `Abidin (peace be upon him): “What is
the criterion for the acceptance of prayers?” The Imam (peace be upon
him) replied: “Acknowledging our Wilayah and dissociating oneself from
our enemies.”** **
