offer Nafl Salah with extreme calmness. Let’s listen to three parables of pious saints of Islam about it for persuasion.

Salah of A’la Hadrat

Maulana Muhammad Husayn Chishti Nizami Fakhri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, who wrote Fatawa for A’la Hadrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه for few years, has said:  A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه certainly offered Salah throughout his life with Jama’at; no matter how hot [temperature] it was he would always offer Salah wearing ‘Imamah and Angharkhay [a garment that is worn over Kurta] (i.e. he would make special arrangement even in clothing for Salah]. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه never offered especially obligatory Salah wearing only Topi and a normal Kurta. Maulana Muhammad Husayn Chishti Nizami Fakhri رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه further stated: The amount of care A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would take while offering Salah is not seen these days. I always offer two Rak’at in the amount of time in which A’la Hadrat would offer one Rak’at. Other people would offer at least 6 Rak’at or rather 8 Rak’at in the amount of time in which I offer 4 Rak’at. (Hayat-e-A’la Hadrat, vol. 1, pp. 153)

Where is that wood?

Sayyiduna Abul Ahwas رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated that a lady neighbour of Sayyiduna Mansoor Bin Mu’tamir رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه asked her father: ‘O dear father! There was a piece of wood on the roof of [the house of] Sayyiduna Mansoor Bin Mu’tamir رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, where is it?’ He replied: ‘O daughter! It was [not a piece of wood, but rather] Sayyiduna Mansoor رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه who used to offer Salah in the night. (Hilyat-ul-Awliya, pp. 46, Raqm 6269)

Sayyiduna ‘Ala Bin Saalim ‘Abadi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated about him that Sayyiduna Mansoor Bin Mu’tamir رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would offer Salah on his [house’s] roof. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه passed away, a boy asked his mother: Dear mother! There was a date trunk on the roof of so-and-so; where is it
