When Times Get Hard, Pray..

Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
“Whenever the matter became serious the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray.”
(Related by Abu Dawud, Graded as being Hasan by Albani)


Commentary:
It means if the Prophet S.A.W. was attacked by surprise, on the verge of being defeated or an important matter aroused which caused him to worry or feel sad, he’d pray because prayer helps against the removal of all heavy blows, disasters and misfortunes. Through prayer one is seeking the assistance of the Creator who allowed it to happen. Prayer is a means to draw nearer to Allah and whoever resorts to prayer to his lord will be protected and averted from all evil.
