Al Miswar bin Makhramah,it was said: "Nothing would wake him up except
the call to prayer, if he is still alive." They said to him, "The
prayer has finished, O Chief of theFaithful!" He woke up andsaid, "The
prayer, by Allah! Verily, there is no share in Islam for whoever
abandons the prayer." He performed theprayer while his wound was
bleeding. [Sifat as Safwah 2/131, As Siyar 5/220]
After ar-Rabi` bin Khaytham became partially paralyzed, he used to go
to the mosque helped by two men. He was told: "O Abu Yazid! You have
been given permission to pray at home." He said, "You havesaid the
truth, but I heard the caller hearld, 'Hayya `ala al-Falah (Come to
success)', and I thought that whoever hears this call should answer it
evenby crawling." [Hilyat al Awliya 2/113]
O Muslims! Do not leave Salah. Do not lose the value of vowing down in
front of your Lord to tell Him that nothing is greater than You, oh
Allah!
