Another Salat may be folded...

Another Salat may be folded, like an old dress, and be thrown back at the face of its owner.” “No part of the Salat is yours except that part which you perform with an attentive heart.”[^6] Imām al-Bāqir (' a ) has quoted the Messenger of Allah ( s ) as saying: “When a believing servant stands for the Salat , Allah, the Exalted, looks at him (or he said: He turns to him) until he finishes, and mercy shadows over his head, the angels surround him from all sides up to the horizon of the heaven, and Allah assigns an angel to stand at his head, saying: “O musallī , if you know who is looking at you, and to whom you are supplicating, you will look to nowhere, nor will you leave your position.” [^7] Imām as-Sādiq (' a ) is quoted to have said: “Eagerness and fear will not get together in a heart unless Paradise is his.

So, when you perform your Salat , turn with your heart to Allah, the Glorified, the Almighty, because there would be no believing servant who would turn with his heart to Allah, the Exalted, during the Salat and invocation, unless Allah would turn to him the hearts of the believers, and with their love He would back him and lead him to Paradise.” [^8] It is narrated that Imāms al-Bāqir and as-Sādiq (' a ) said: “Nothing of your Salat is yours except that which you did with an attentive heart.

So, if one performed it completely mistaken, or neglected its disciplines, it would be folded and thrown back at its owner's face.” [^9] Imām Bāqir al-'Ulūm (the cleaver of knowledge) (' a ) is quoted to have said: “Of a servant's Salat ascends half, one-third, one-fourth or one-fifth to his account. That is, of his Salat will not ascend except that part which is performed with an attentive heart.

We have been commanded to perform the nāfilah so as to make up for the shortcomings of the obligatory Salat s.”[^10] Imām as-Sādiq (' a ) is quoted to have said: “When you wear the ihrām for the Salat (i.e., when you prepared for the Salat ), pay attention to it, because when you pay attention to it, Allah will pay attention to you. If you do not care for it, Allah will not care for you.

So, sometimes, does not ascend of the Salat except one-third, one-fourth or one-sixth, according to the amount of attention the musallī pays to it.
