Assigning Salat (prayer)

414. From him, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Maraazam, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام has said that a man came up to the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and said, ‘O Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم! Can I make half of my Salats for you صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم?’ So he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: ‘That would be preferable for you’. So he said, ‘O Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, so when I Pray, can I make the whole of my Salat for you صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم?’ So the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: ‘Then Allah عز وجل would Suffice for you for what concerns you from the affairs of your world and your Hereafter’. Then Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام said that: ‘Allah عز وجل Mandated the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, with what He عز وجل never Mandated anyone from His عز وجل creatures. He عز وجل Mandated to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم that he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم should go out to all of the people alone, by himself صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, even if he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم could find a group who would fight alongside him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. And He عز وجل never Mandated this to anyone from His عز وجل creatures before him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, nor after him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم’. Then he عليه الصلاة والسلام recited this Verse: “[4:84] Fight then in Allah’s way; this is not imposed on you except In relation to yourself”. Then said: ‘And Allah عز وجل Made it such that he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم should take for Him عز وجل what he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم takes for himself صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. So Allah عز وجل Said: “[6:160] Whoever brings a good deed, he shall have ten like it”, and Made the Salat to the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم by ten (times) the Rewards’.
