Hadith.634 - Muawiya ibn Wahb asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the best means by which the servants can draw closer to their Lord (azj) and what is most beloved to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic.
Imam (as) replied: "I do not know of anything, after knowledge (of Allah (swt)), that is better than this prayer. Do you not see that the righteous servant, Jesus, son of Mary (as), said:
'And He has enjoined upon me prayer' (Surah Maryam 19:31)?".
634 - وَ سَأَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ اَلْعِبَادُ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ وَ أَحَبِّ ذَلِكَ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ
«مَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئاً بَعْدَ اَلْمَعْرِفَةِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ اَلصَّلاَةِ أَ لاَ تَرَى أَنَّ اَلْعَبْدَ اَلصَّالِحَ عِيسَى اِبْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ «وَ أَوْصٰانِي بِالصَّلاٰةِ ».
