Narrated Ibn ‘Umar, The last Prophet of God (Sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said,
“Whoever misses the ‘Asr prayer (intentionally) then it is as if he lost his family and property.”

A’isha, umm al-muminin (Radiyallaahu `anha) said,
“The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) used to pray thirteen rakas in the night and then would pray two rakas when he heard the adhan for the morning prayer.”

“The best of the deeds or deed is the (observance of) prayer at its proper time and kindness to the parents.”

The Prophet of Allah (Sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said,
“The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad”

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radiyallaahu `anhu), The Prophet (Sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said,
“Allah will prepare for him who goes to the mosque (every) morning and in the afternoon (for the congregational prayer) an honorable place in Paradise with good hospitality for (what he has done) every morning and afternoon goings.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik (Radiyallaahu `anhu),
“Once in the lifetime of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) the people were afflicted with drought (famine). While the Prophet was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, “O, Allah’s Apostle! Our possessions are being destroyed and the children are hungry; Please invoke Allah (for rain)”.
