Forty Ahadith on Salat
- Prayers Accepted? In What Measure? =========================================
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللٌّه) ع) قَالَ: مَنْ أَحَبُّ أنْ يَعْلَمَ أَقُبِلَتْ صَلاَتُهُ أَمْ لَمْ تُقْبَلُ فَلْيَنْظَرْ هَلْ مَنَعَتْهُ صَلاَتُهُ عَنِ الفَحْشَاءِ وَ الْمُنْكَرِ فَبِقَدْرِ مَا مَنَعَتْهُ قُبِلَتْ مِنهُ.
Imam As-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: “One who desires to know
whether his prayers have been accepted or not should observe if his
prayers have restrained him from evil and sinful acts. (If yes,) then
the measure in which they have restrained him is the measure of his
prayers that have been accepted.”** **
