Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque and saw a rope tied between two pillars. He inquired, "What is this rope?" The people replied, "It has been tied by Sayyidah Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her); when she becomes tired (while standing in prayer), she hangs onto it." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No, this rope should not be here; untie it. Each of you should pray as long as he feels inclined, and when he becomes tired, he should sit down."

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me (one day) when a woman was sitting with me. He inquired, "Who is this?" I replied, "So-and-so woman," and mentioned her enthusiasm and regularity in prayer. He said, "Wait (listen), only as much action is obligatory upon you as you have the strength for. By Allah, Allah does not get tired (of giving reward), but you will get tired (of performing deeds). And the deed most beloved to Allah in religion is that which is done consistently (and a person performs it without getting weary)."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any one of you feels drowsy while praying, he should sleep until the sleepiness leaves him. For when any one of you prays while drowsy, he does not know whether he is seeking forgiveness from Allah or cursing himself."

Narrated by Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) heard a reciter reciting the Qur'an in the mosque at night, so he said: May Allah have mercy on this man, he reminded me of such and such verses which I had left out from such and such surahs.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of the one who has memorized the Qur'an is like the owner of a camel tied with a rope; if he keeps watch over it, he will be able to keep it, otherwise it will break the rope and run away.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is very bad for a person to say, "I forgot such and such verse," rather he should say, "I was made to forget." And continue reciting the Noble Qur'an, for its slipping away from the hearts of people is swifter than the escape of a camel.

Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Hold fast to the recitation of the Qur'an. By Him in Whose hand is my soul, it slips away faster than a camel that breaks its rope and runs away.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah has not listened to anything as attentively as He listened to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) reciting the Qur'an in a beautiful voice.

Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Abu Musa, I have been given a beautiful voice like that of Dawud (peace be upon him).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) riding his camel on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah and reciting Surah Al-Fath in a melodious voice. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) said that if there was no fear that people would crowd around me, I would have recited in the same manner as the Messenger of Allah recited.
