B . 46 Belief: Obedience to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) is in reality obedience to Allah (The Exalted). Obedience to Allah ( The Exalted) is not possible without obedience to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). If a person is in Fard Salaah and the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) calls out to him, he should immediately respond to the call of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and present himself in the Court of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and such a person is still in Salaah, no matter for how long he is in the presence of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).

The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) commanded the sun to rise again and the sun rose from the west. 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) prayed his 'Asr Salaah and the sun then set.'
