Secondly, as is commonly believed, it is not essential that in Salat, the Ayat of Qur'an are recited according to their
sequence in the Book. It is permissible to recite them regardless of their sequence in the Qur'an.
Thirdly, it is commendable to relatively prolong the optional prayers.

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
One night I joined the Prophet (PBUH) in his (optional)
Salat. He prolonged the standing so much that I thought of doing something evil. He was asked: "What did you
intend to do?'' He replied: "To sit down and leave him".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
1. This Hadith makes it evident that opposition of Imam (
one who leads the prayer
) is an evil act because one is
ordered to follow him in the prayers.
2. It is permissible to ask clarification of something which is ambiguous or abstruse.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Three follow a dead body:
members of his family, his possessions and his deeds. Two of them return and one remains with him. His family and
his possessions return; his deeds remain with him".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith induces one to perform such deeds which always remain with him in the grave, where
every being and thing leaves one and he is all alone in the grave. What is left is his good deeds which become the
means of refuge and salvation.

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"Jannah is nearer to anyone
of you than your shoe-lace, and so is the (Hell) Fire".
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
Going to Jannah or Hell is the result of one's own actions, both are close to everyone. One will be
admitted into Jannah if he does good deeds, and will be consigned to Hell if he does evil. After death, one's
entitlement for Jannah or Hell will be decided.

Rabi`ah bin Ka`b Al-Aslami (May Allah be pleased with him (a servant of the Messenger of Allah and also one
of the people of As-Suffah) said: I used to spend my night in the company of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and used
to put up water for his ablutions. One day he said to me,
"Ask something of me.
'' I said: "I request for your
companionship in Jannah". He inquired,
"Is there anything else
?'' I said, "That is all.'' He said,
"Then help me in
your request by multiplying your prostrations".
[Muslim].
Commentary:
There was a terrace at the end of the Prophet's Mosque which is called As-Suffah in Arabic. People
of poor means who were taught by him used to live there. This Hadith evidently shows the importance of good
actions and faithful following of the practice of the Prophet (PBUH). Leave others alone, in the absence of these
two, even such people will not be close to the Prophet (PBUH) who used to be all the time with him. It is not
difficult to visualize the fate of those who neither perform good deeds nor follow in the footsteps of the Prophet
(PBUH).
