Hadith on Worship: Muslims should worship moderately without harming their health

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace be upon him, entered the mosque and saw a rope between two pillars. He asked, “What is this rope?” They said, “This rope is for Zainab who uses it when she becomes tired during prayer.” The Prophet said, “Do not use it. You should pray when you have energy, but if you feel tired you should sit down.”

[Sahih Bukhari, Book 21, Number 251]

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا حَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ بَيْنَ السَّارِيَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا الْحَبْلُ قَالُوا هَذَا حَبْلٌ لِزَيْنَبَ فَإِذَا فَتَرَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا حُلُّوهُ لِيُصَلِّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَشَاطَهُ فَإِذَا فَتَرَ فَلْيَقْعُدْ

Hadith on Quran: The virtue of Surah Al-Zalzalah, Surahs which glorify Allah, and Surahs beginning with Alif Lam Ra and Ha Mim

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and said, “Teach me to recite, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Recite three Surahs which begin with Alif Lam Ra.” He said, “I have become old, my heart is hard and my tongue is coarse.” He said, “Then recite three which begin with Ha Mim.” He said likewise it was difficult. He said, “Recite three which begin with the glorification of Allah.” He said likewise it was difficult, and said, “O Messenger of Allah, teach me to recite a Surah which is comprehensive and I will recite it.” The Prophet recited, “When the earth will be shaken… (99:1)” until he finished it. The man said, “By Him who sent you with the truth, I will not add anything to it forever.” Then the man turned away and the Prophet said twice, “The little man has succeeded.”

Hadith on Ramadan: The Prophet did not pray some nights in the mosque so that it would not become an obligation

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, prayed one night in the mosque and some people prayed along with him. Then, he prayed the following night and many people joined him. Then, on the third or fourth night there was a large gathering but the Messenger of Allah did not come out for them. When it was morning, he said, “I saw what you were doing, but I refrained from coming to you because I fear that this prayer might become an obligation for you.” Aisha said, “This was during the month of Ramadan.”

Hadith on Prayer: The first action to be judged by Allah will be the obligatory prayers

Huraith Ibn Qabisa reported: I approached Medina and I said, “O Allah, make easy for me a righteous gathering.” Then I sat with Abu Huraira and I said, “Indeed, I asked Allah to provide me with a righteous gathering so narrate to me something you have heard from the Messenger of Allah that perhaps Allah will benefit me through it.” He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say, “The first actions for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers. If they are in order, then he will have prospered and succeeded; but if they are lacking, then he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective in his obligatory prayers then the Lord the Exalted will say: see if My servant has any extra prayers which can complete what is defective in his obligatory prayers. Then the rest of his actions will be judged in the same way.”

[Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Book of Prayer, Number 413, Hasan]

Hadith on Religion: This religion is ease and no one burdens himself in religion but that it overcomes him

Narrated Abu Huriarah: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: “Indeed, this religion is ease, and no one burdens himself in religion but that it overcomes him.
