It was
narrated that 'Aishah (RA) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon
him) had a mat which he would spread in the day and make into a small booth at
night to pray in it. The people found out about that and they prayed when he
prayed, with the mat in between him and them. He said: 'Do as much of good
deeds as you can, for Allah does not get tired (of giving reward) until you get
tired. And the most beloved of deeds to Allah are those that are continuous,
even if they are few.' Then he stopped that prayer and did not return to it
until Allah took him (in death), and if he started to do something he would
persist in it."
(Sunan
an-Nasa'I, Vol. 1, Book 9, Hadith 21)
About
Tayammum
Narrated
Jabir bin `Abdullah (RA): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "I have
been given five things which were not given to anyone else before me. -1. Allah
made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of
one month's journey. -2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers)
a place for praying and a thing to perform Tayammum, therefore anyone of my
followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due. -3. The booty has been
made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me. -4.
I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection). -5.
Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all
mankind.

al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 7, Hadith 2)

About
Supplications
Qatada asked
Anas (RA) which Supplication Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) frequently
made. He said: The supplication that he (the Prophet made very frequently is
this:" O Allah, grant us the good in this world and the good in the
Hereafter and save us from the torment of Hell-Fire." He (Qatada) said
that whenever Anas had to supplicate he made this very supplication, and
whenever he (intended) to make another supplication he (inserted) this very
supplication in that.

Prayer Time
It was

Allah! Which mosque was built first?' He said: 'Al-Masjid Al-Haram (in
Makkah).' I said: 'Then which?' He said: 'then Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (in
Jerusalem).' I said: 'How many years between them?' He said: 'Forty years, but
the whole earth is a mosque for you, so pray wherever you are when the time for
prayer comes.'"

About
Friday Khutba
Narrated Abu
Huraira (RA): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "When it is a Friday,
the angels stand at the gate of the mosque and keep on writing the names of the
persons coming to the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. The
example of the one who enters the mosque in the earliest hour is that of one
offering a camel (in sacrifice). The one coming next is like one offering a cow
and then a ram and then a chicken and then an egg respectively. When the Imam
comes out (for Jumua prayer) they (i.e. angels) fold their papers and listen to
the Khutba."
(Sahih
al-Bukhari, Vol. 2, Book 11, Hadith 53)
About
Virtues
Anas bin
Malik (RA) reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) during the
time of the afternoon prayer and the people asking for water for performing
ablution which they did not find. (A small quantity) of water was brought to
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) and he placed his hand in that vessel and
commanded people to perform ablution. I saw water spouting from his fingers and
the people performing ablution until the last amongst them performed it."
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 43, Hadith 5)
About
Faith
It is
narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (RA) that the Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him) observed: There has never been a Prophet amongst the
prophets who was not bestowed with a sign amongst the signs which were bestowed
(on the earlier prophets). Human beings believed in it and verily I have been
conferred upon revelation (the Holy Qur'an) which Allah revealed to me. I hope
that I will have the greatest following on the Day of Resurrection.
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 292)
