On the authority of Uqbah ibn Amir (may Allah be
pleased with him),
who said: I heard the messenger of Allah (peace be
upon him) say:
Your Lord delights at a shepherd who, on the peak of a
mountain
crag, gives the call to prayer and prays. Then Allah
(glorified and
exalted be He) say: Look at this servant of Mine, he
gives the call
to prayer and performs the prayers; he is in awe of
Me. I have
forgiven My servant [his sins] and have admitted him
to Paradise.
It was related by an-Nasa'i with a good chain of
authorities.

Hadith Qudsi 8:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased
with him)
from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said:
A prayer performed by someone who has not recited the
Essence of the
Quran (1) during it is deficient (and he repeated the
word three
times), incomplete. Someone said to Abu Hurayrah:
[Even though] we
are behind the imam? (2) He said: Recite it to
yourself, for I have
heard the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of
Allah be up on
him) say: Allah (mighty and sublime be He), had said:
I have divided
prayer between Myself and My servant into two halves,
and My servant
shall have what he has asked for. When the servant
says: Al-hamdu
lillahi rabbi l-alamin (3), Allah (mighty and sublime
be He) says:
My servant has praised Me. And when he says:
Ar-rahmani r-rahim (4),
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says: My servant has
extolled Me,
and when he says: Maliki yawmi d-din (5), Allah says:
My servant has
glorified Me - and on one occasion He said: My servant
has submitted
to My power. And when he says: Iyyaka na budu wa
iyyaka nasta in
(6), He says: This is between Me and My servant, and
My servant
shall have what he has asked for. And when he says:
Ihdina s-sirata
l- mustaqim, siratal ladhina an amta alayhim
ghayril-maghdubi
alayhim wa la d-dallin (7), He says: This is for My
servant, and My
servant shall have what he has asked for.
(1) Surat al-Fatihah, the first surah (chapter) of the
Qur'an.
(2) i.e. standing behind the imam (leader) listening
to him reciting
al-Fatihah.
(3) "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds."
(4) "The Merciful, the Compassionate".
(5) "Master of the Day of Judgement".
(6) "It is You we worship and it is You we ask for
help".
(7) "Guide us to the straight path, the path of those
upon whom You
have bestowed favors, not of those against whom You
are angry, nor
of those who are astray".
It was related by Muslim (also by Malik, at-Tirmidhi,
Abu-Dawud, an-
Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
