Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh Salih. In the hadith, why did it start with half and not with the whole?
Answer:
Because there is a deficiency in it, meaning, because there is a deficiency in it. As for the one who has the whole, there is no deficiency in it and he does not need to be reminded. So a person is only credited with what his heart is present for in his prayer, whether that is little or much. And if his heart is not present for the entire prayer, he has no prayer. Yes.
May Allah reward you, Shaykh Salih. In the hadith
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that a man’s prayer is half of it, a third of it, a quarter of it, a fifth of it, a sixth of it. Why did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
