فَإِنَّ الصَّلاةَ رَأْسُ هَذَا الدِّينِ وَعِمَادُهُ وَرُكْنُهُ الَّذِي يَقُومُ بِهِ، وَهِيَ صِلَةٌ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّهِ، وَكُلَّمَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ الصِّلَةُ عَلَى أَسَاسٍ صَحِيحٍ وَأَصْلٍ قَوِيمٍ، وَعَلَى الْكَيْفِيِّةِ الَّتِي أَرَادَهَا اللهُ (U) مِنْ عَبْدِهِ، وَكَمَا كَانَ يُصَلِّيهَا النَّبِيُّ (r) كُلَّمَا كَانَتْ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى الْقَبُولِ؛ ِلذَا حَظِيَتِ الصَّلاةُ بِاهْتِمَامٍ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ (r) فَبَيَّنَ كُلَّ مَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِأَمْرِهَا بَيَانًا كَافِيًا شَافِيًا بِقَوْلِهِ وَفِعْلِهِ، وَقَدْ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ (r) أُمَّتَهُ بِأَنْ يُوقِعُوا الصَّلاةَ عَلَى الْوَجْهِ الَّذِي     كَانَ (r) يُصَلِّيهَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ (r): "صَلُّوا كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُصَلِّي"، وَقَدْ نَفَى النَّبِيُّ (r) الصَّلاةَ عَنِ الْمُسِيئِ فِي صَلاتِهِ، فَقَالَ: "ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ"؛ لا لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصَلِّ، بَلْ لأَنَّ فِعْلَهُ كَانَ نَاقِصًا عَنْ حَقِيقَةِ الْكَمَال.
          وَحَرِيٌّ بِالْمُكَلَّفِ أَنْ يَتَأَسَّى بِنَبِيِّهِ (r) فِي صِفَةِ صَلاتِهِ، فَكُلَّمَا كَانَتْ صَلاةُ الْمَرْءِ قَرِيبَةً مِنْ صَلاةِ النَّبِيِّ (r) كُلَّمَا كَانَتْ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى الْقَبُولِ، وَمِنْ هُنَا تَأْتِي أَهَمِيَّةُ هَذَا الْبَحْثِ، فَهُوَ فِي سُنَنِ الصَّلاةِ الَّتِي يُمْكِنُ لِلْمُصَلِّي أَنْ يَظْفَرَ بِهَا وَيَتَحَصَّلَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَأْتِيَ بِهَا فِي أَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ يُصَلِّيهَا للهِ (U) فَرْدًا كَانَ أَمْ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ، إِمَامًا كَانَ أَوْ مَأْمُومًا، مُقِيمًا كَانَ أَوْ مُسَافِرًا، سِرًّا كَانَتِ الصَّلاةُ أَمْ جَهْرًا، وَالإِتْيَانُ بِهَذِهِ السُّنَنَِ تُقَرِّبُ صَلاةَ الْمُكَلَّفِ مِنْ صَلاةِ النَّبِيِّ (r).
In the name of Allah, the most compassionate, the most merciful
All praise is to be Allah and Peace and Blessings of Allah Be upon Prophet Muhammad, His Family and companions and those who followed His Path till the Day of resurrection
Prayer is the base and pillar of this religion. It is the link between a worshipper and Allah. The more this link is upon a genuine base and straight origin, the way through which Allah receives from His worshipper and the way it was prayed by the Prophet, the nearer to be accepted. That is why it has a great concern by the Prophet. The prophet (PBUH) showed everything about it by sayings and deeds. He asked His followers to do prayers as He did when He said, "Do prayer as I do." The prophet (PBUH) didn't accept the action of somebody when He said," Do prayer again as you didn't pray properly."
     Therefore, the importance of this research lies in this point. The sunnah prayers that a person who prays can obtain by praying four units (rakats) to Allah, Glory Be To Him, individually or in congregation, a leader or a person who stands behind a leader in prayer, a resident or traveler, in secret or public. Following these Sunnah Prayers makes the prayer of an adult nearer to the Prophet's Prayers.
