Whoever safeguards the prayer for forty days...

 
Shaykh Rabee bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee (May Allah preserve him) was asked regarding the following Hadeeth.
 
Q: The Prophet ( May the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said : Whoever safeguards the prayer for forty days, it is written for him Baraa’atan ( i.e he is declared free from two things); he’s declared free from the fire, and from hypocrisy, or as the Prophet (May the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said?
 
A: The hadeeth is on the authority of Anas bin Maalik, he said that the Prophet (May the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever prays forty days in congregation, wherein he catches the first Takbeer, it is written for him Baraa’atan, (he is declared free from two things); he’s declared free from the fire, and from hypocrisy.(Collected by At-Tirmidhee and was graded authentic by Al-Albani by gathering all it’s chains). We ask Allah to allow all of us to achieve that.
 
 And this affair is something which is difficult, it requires fighting ones self, and serious diligence. This will not be easy for us except if we (leave) early for every prayer. The athan isn’t called except that a person is around the masjid or in it. (When that is done) then this will be easy for him Allah willing, therefore be diligent upon this good!
