For forty years, the Adhan was never called but Sa`id bin al-Musayyab radhiallahu `anhu was in the mosque before it was called. [Tabaqat al Hanabilah 1/141, Hilyat al Awliya 2/163, Sifat as Safwah 2/80]

Umar became unconscious after he was stabbed, and according to Al Miswar bin Makhramah, it was said: "Nothing would wake him up except the call to prayer, if he is still alive." They said to him, "The prayer has finished, O Chief of the Faithful!" He woke up and said,

"The prayer, by Allah! Verily, there is no share in Islam for whoever abandons the prayer."

The Prayer Helps in Abandoning Sins

cloudrainy Allaah, the Sublime said: {Indeed prayer restrains from the obscene and evil deeds.} [Soorah al-Ankaboot [29]:45].

Allaah has explained in this verse that a correct prayer, performed with humility and submissiveness (khushoo') undoubtedly prevents its performer from obscene and evil deeds and leads him to goodness. Therefore, you will see that the people of the mosque are the most superior of mankind and the best amongst them. The sins and shortcomings of others are many times more than the sins and shortcomings of these people.

If the prayer does not prevent us from obscene and evil deeds then it is necessary to carefully scrutinise the deficiency within it and to correct it.
