Prayers (Salat)
Narrated By: Abu Dhar(Raziyallahu Anahu)
"Then I passed by Abraham(Alhesalam) and he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked Gabriel(Alhesalam), 'Who is he?' Gabriel (Alhesalam) replied, 'He is Abraham(Alhesalam). The Prophet(
) added, 'Then Gabriel(Alhesalam) ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of the pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik said: The Prophet(
) said, "Then Allah enjoined fifty prayers on my followers when I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Moses(Alhesalam) who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty prayers on them.' Moses(Alhesalam) said, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction) for your followers will not be able to bear it.' (So I went back to Allah and requested for reduction) and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Moses(Alhesalam) again and informed him about it, he said, 'Go back to your Lord as your followers will not be able to bear it.' So I returned to Allah and requested for further reduction and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Moses(Alhesalam) and he said to me: 'Return to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it. So I returned to Allah and He said, 'These are five prayers and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward) for My Word does not change.' I returned to Moses(Alhesalam) and he told me to go back once again. I replied, 'Now I feel shy of asking my Lord again.' Then Gabriel(Alhesalam) took me till we '' reached Sidrat-il-Muntaha (Lote tree of; the utmost boundry) which was shrouded in colors, indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small (tents or) walls (made) of pearls and its earth was of musk."
