revealed in the Tawrah nor the Injīl nor the Zabur, and it is unlike any other Sūrah of the Quran. Indeed, it is the seven oft-repeated verses.”^[1]

The foundational principle is servitude to the beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہ عَلَیْہِ واٰلِہٖ وَ سَلَّمَ

Dear Islamic brothers! These two accounts grant us a priceless pearl of wisdom, which is that when the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم calls out to someone whilst they are in salah, it is necessary for them to leave the prayer and go to him immediately.

اللہُ اَکْبَر! Salah is a most superior act of worship, but entering the court of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is more important and superior. The scholars state:

If the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم calls out to someone who is praying salah, he must leave his salah and go to the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. This will not invalidate his prayer, rather the time he spends with the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will be considered part of the prayer. After he leaves the company of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, he should continue the prayer from where he left off.  

We learn that the command of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is not like the command of anyone else. Speaking to someone whilst you are praying renders the worship invalid. However, when you recite التَّحِیّات, you are greeting the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in your prayer:    اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیْکَ اَیُّہَا النَّبِیُّ (O Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Peace be upon you). This
