Don't abandon this jewel

'Umar (RA) became unconscious after he was stabbed, and according to
Al Miswar bin Makhramah, it was said: "Nothing would wake him up
except the call to prayer, if he is stillalive." They said to him,"The
prayer has finished,O Chief of the Faithful!" He woke up and said,"The
prayer, by Allah! Verily, there is no share in Islam for whoever
abandons the prayer." He performed the prayerwhile 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 AbuYazid! You have
been given permission to prayat home." He said, "You have said the
truth, but Iheard the caller hearld, 'Hayya `ala al-Falah (Come to
success)', and I thought that whoever hears this call should answer it
even by crawling." [Hilyat al Awliya 2/113]
O Muslims! Do not leave Salah. Do not lose the value of vowing down
infront of your Lord to tell Him that nothing is greater than You, oh
Allah!
