The greatest of all Salah

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates, that the leader of all the Prophets, the Beloved of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: After Ramadan, the greatest of all fasts are of Muharram, the month of Allah Almighty, and after obligatory Salah, the greatest of all Salah are those offered at night. (Muslim, p. 456, Hadith 2755)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Worship and striving

Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام also possessed a high rank in regards to his level of worship. Sayyiduna Abu Darda رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates, that when the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would mention Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, he would state: He was a man who performed great amounts of worship. (Tirmizi, vol. 5, p. 296, Hadith 3501)

Regarding the fasting and Salah of Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: Allah Almighty likes the (Nafl) fasting of Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام more than any other fast. (His way of fasting was as such) He would keep a fast on one day, and leave one day. Allah Almighty likes the (Nafl) Salah of Sayyiduna Dawood   عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام more than any other Salah. He would sleep for half the night, perform worship for one third of the night, and sleep in the remaining one-sixth. (Bukhari, vol. 2, p. 448, Hadith 3420)

His blessed household and performing worship

Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام would keep his household members engaged in the worship of Allah Almighty. Sayyiduna Saabit Bunaani رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: News reached us regarding Sayyiduna Dawood عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, that he divided Salah upon his household members and
