Hadith 145
۞
2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “O Abdullah, when you offer an obligatory prayer, offer it on time. Else it is possible that you might lose the opportunity to do so. Focus your eyes on the place of your prostrations while offering Salaat. You pray carefully as if there is someone around you. Know that He is seeing you and you are not able to see Him.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِیزِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی یَعْفُورٍ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا صَلَّیْتَ صَلَاهً فَرِیضَهً فَصَلِّهَا لِوَقْتِهَا صَلَاهَ مُوَدِّعٍ یَخَافُ أَنْ لَا یَعُودَ إِلَیْهَا أَبَداً ثُمَّ اصْرِفْ بِبَصَرِکَ إِلَی مَوْضِعِ سُجُودِکَ فَلَوْ تَعْلَمُ مَنْ عَنْ یَمِینِکَ وَ شِمَالِکَ لَأَحْسَنْتَ صَلَاتَکَ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّکَ قُدَّامَ مَنْ یَرَاکَ وَ لَا تَرَاهُ.
