"Hadhrat Huzaifah (Radhiyallaho anho) says that, whenever the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) happened to face any difficulty, he would at once resort to salaat." (Ahmad, Abu Daud, Ibn Jarir)
Salaat / prayer is a great blessing of Allah. To resort to salaat at the time of worry is to hasten towards His mercy, and when Allah's mercy comes to rescue, there can remain no trace of any worry. There are many traditions concerning this practice of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam). Similar was the practice of his companions, who followed him in the minutest detail. Hadhrat Abu Darda (Radhiyallaho anho) says: "Whenever a strong wind blew, the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) would immediately enter the masjid and would not leave until the wind had subsided. Similarly, at the time of a solar or lunar eclipse, the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) would at once start offering salaat. Hadhrat Suhaib (Radhiyallaho anho) was informed by the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) that all the previous Apostles of Allah (peace be upon them) also used to resort to salaat in all adversities.
