In the Name of Allaah,the Most Merciful,The Bestower of Mercy
Imaam
Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [rahimahullaah] said:
Jaabir
[radiyallaahu-anhu] said: The Messenger of Allaah [sallal laahu alayhi
wasallam] said, when one of you finishes his prayer in his masjid, then let him
give his house a share of his prayer [i.e. pray the optional prayers at home],
for indeed Allaah will place something good in his house due to his
prayer.”[Muslim 778]
The
Prophet [sallal-laahu-alayhi wasallam] said: “Do not make your houses [similar]
to graveyards [i.e. because it is prohibited to perform salah in graveyards],
for indeed shaytaan flees from a house in which Soorah al-Baqarah is
recited.”[Muslim 780]
This
shows that recitation of the Qur’aan and performing [optional] prayers in the
houses is a means of getting close to Allaah, and it is something that Allaah
loves. It is a means of receiving blessings in the houses and it prevents
shaytaan from being present a lot. That is because shaytaan flees when he hears
remembrance of Allaah. He hates to hear good and loves to hear evil. Therefore,
whenever the people of a household recite the Qur’aan a lot, mention the
Ahaadeeth a lot, perform a lot of dhikr by uttering ‘Subhaanallaah and Laa
ilaaha illal laah, they are more
safeguarded from Shayateen and distanced
from him. And whenever the household is preoccupied with heedlessness, music,
idle pursuits and gossiping, they are brought closer to the presence of the
shayateen who urges them towards falsehood.
