Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: Bilal made a call to prayer before the break of dawn; the Prophet (๏ทบ), therefore, commanded him to return and make a call: Lo! the servant of Allah (i.e. I) had slept (hence this mistake).

Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by al-Darawardi from 'Ubaid Allah on the authority of Ibn 'Umar saying: There was a mu'adhdhin of 'Umar, named Mas'ud. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. This version is more correct than that one
Nafi' reported :A mu'adhdhin of โUmar, named Masruh, called the Adhan for the morning prayer before the break of dawn; โUmar commanded him (to repeat). The narrator reported the tradition in a similar way. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by al-Darawardi from โUbaid Allah on the authority of Ibn โUmar, saying: there was a mu'adhdhin of โUmar, named Masโud. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. This version is more correct than one

Abu Qatadah reported on the authority of his father :the prophet (๏ทบ) said; When the Iqamah for prayer is pronounced, do not stand until you see me. Abu Dawud said: this has been narrated by Ayyub and Hajjaj al-Sawwaf from Yahya and Hisham al-Duatawaโi in a similar way, saying : Yahya wrote to me (in this way). And this has been narrated by Muโawiyah b. Sallam and โAli b. al-Mubarak from Yahya: โUntil you see me and show tranquilityโ

Humaid reported :I asked Thabit al-Bunani whether it was permissible for a man to talk after the qamah had been pronounced. He narrated a tradition on the authority of Anas: (once) the Iqamah was pronounced, and a person came to the apostle of Allah (๏ทบ) and detained him after the Iqamah had been pronounced
โAwn b. Kahmas reported on the authority of his father Kahmas :we stood for praying at Mina when the Imam had not come out. Some of us sat down (and I too). An old man from Kufah said to me: Why did you down? I said : Ibn Buraidah, this is Sumud (i.e., waiting for the Imam in the standing condition). The old man then narrated a tradition from โAbd al-Rahman b. โAwaajah on the authority of al-Baraโ b. โAzib: We would stand in rows during the time of the Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) for a long time before he pronounced Takbir. He further said; Allah, the Exalted and Mighty, sends blessings and the angles invoke blessings for those who are nearer to the front rows. No step is more liking to Allah than a step which one takes to join the row (of the prayer)
Anas reported :the Iqamah was pronounced (for the night prayer) and the Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) remained engaged in talking (to a person) in the corner of the mosque. He did not begin prayer until the people slept

Abu al-Nadr said:when the Iqamah was pronounced and the Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) saw that they (the people) were small in number, he would sit down, nd would not pray; but when he saw them (the people) large in number, he would pray
Narrated AbudDarda': I heard the Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) say: If there are three men in a village or in the desert among whom prayer is not offered (in congregation), the devil has got the mastery over them. So observe (prayer) in congregation), for the wolf eats only the straggling animal. Sa'ib said: By the word Jama'ah he meant saying prayer in company or in congregation
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) as saying; I thought to give orders for arranging prayer in congregation, and then to have the Iqamah called for it, then to order a man to lead the people in prayer, then to go off in company of the people who have bundles of firewood to those people who are not present at the prayer and then to burn down their houses with fire

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) as saying:I thought about giving orders to some youths for gathering a bundle of firewood, then going off to some people who their prayers in their homes without any excuse, and burning down their houses over them. I (Yazid b. Yazid) said: I asked Yazid b. al-Asamm: Abu โAwf did he mean Friday (prayer) or any other? He replied: may my ears become deaf if I have not heard Abu Hurairah narrating it from the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him); He did not mention Friday (prayer) or any other
Abd Allah b. Masโud said:Persevere in observing these five times of prayer where the announcement for them is made, because they are from the paths of right guidance. And Allah, the Might, the Majestic, has laid down for his prophet (๏ทบ) the paths of right guidance. I have seen the time when no one stayed away from prayer except a hypocrite whose hypocrite was well known. I witnessed the time when a man would be brought swaying between two men till he was set up in the row (of the prayer). Every one of us has a mosque of his in his house. If you were to pray in your houses and stay from your mosques. You would abandon the Sunnah (practice) of your prophet, and if you were Abandon the Sunnah (Practice) of your Prophet, you would become an unbeliever
