Love and respect towards rasoolallah(ﷺ)

Narrated Anas: The Prophet did not come out for three days. The people stood for the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead to lead the prayer.(In the meantime) the Prophet caught hold of the curtain and lifted it.When the face of the Prophet appeared we had never seen a scene more pleasing than the face of the Prophet as it appeared then. The Prophet beckoned to Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer and then let the curtain fall. We did not see him (again) till he died. Volume 1, Book 11, Number 649: (Sahih Bukhari)

Narrated Sahl bin Sa’d As-Sa’idi: Allah’s Apostle went to establish peace among Bani ‘Amr bin ‘Auf. In the meantime the time of prayer was due and the Mu’adh-dhin went to Abu Bakr and said, “Will you lead the prayer, so that I may pronounce the Iqama?” Abu Bakr replied in the affirmative and led the prayer. Allah’s Apostle came while the people were still praying and he entered the rows of the praying people till he stood in the (first row). The people clapped their hands. Abu Bakr never glanced sideways in his prayer but when the people continued clapping, Abu Bakr looked and saw Allah’s Apostle. Allah’s Apostle beckoned him to stay at his place. Abu Bakr raised his hands and thanked Allah for that order of Allah’s Apostle and then he retreated till he reached the first row Allah’s Apostle went forward and led the prayer. When Allah’s Apostle finished the prayer, he said, “O Abu Bakr! What prevented you from staying when I ordered you to do so?” Abu Bakr replied, “How can Ibn Abi Quhafa (Abu Bakr) dare to lead the prayer in the presence of Allah’s Apostle?” Then Allah’s Apostle said, “Why did you clap so much? If something happens to anyone during his prayer he should say Subhan Allah. If he says so he will be attended to, for clapping is for women.”Volume 1, Book 11, Number 652: (Sahih Bukhari)

The Sahaba had overflowing love for the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and they put him before all Ibadat, including Salaah. They would rather leave their Salaah than being denied an opportunity to see him. He told them to complete their Salaah although they moved away from facing the Kaaba. This showed that their Salaah did not become invalidated as long as they fixed their attention on him. Attention to Rasulullah (ﷺ) is attention to Allah.

Hazrath Umar (ra) gestured to the Black Stone and exclaimed, ‘You are a stone, Umar would not have kissed you if he had not seen his Beloved Prophet (ﷺ)’s lips touch you’

In the sixth year after the Hijra, whilst negotiating with the Kuffar for the Muslims to perform Umrah, Hazrath Uthman (Ra) refused to perform the Tawaaf because Rasulullah (ﷺ) was not present. Although (Sharia) permitted that he performs this great ‘act of virtue’ (Ibadat), he held the love for Rasulullah above this Ibadat.

Narrated by Hadrat Asma (RA): Revelation was being sent to Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) and his head was on the Lap of Hadrat Ali (ra), and he had not prayed Asr till yet, soon the Sun got set too, The Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) asked: O Ali (ra) have you prayed?, He replied: No, at this the Prophet (salallaho alaihi wasalam) made a plea in the court of Allah: O Lord He (Ali) was busy in Itaat of You and your Messenger (salallaho alaihi wasalam), hence return the Sun back for him , Hadrat Asma (ra) said: I had seen the Sun being set but then I saw it :RISING BACK AGAIN and daylight became visibale on mountains and land, This incident took palce near KhaybarReferences: Imam Ibn Kathir in Al Bidayah wan Nihayah, Volume No. 6, Page No. 80, 81 and 85, Also Tafsir ul Qurtubi, Volume No. 5, Page No. 97

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
