Allah, the Exalted says:
ذَٰلِكَۖ وَمَن يُعَظِّمۡ شَعَٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقۡوَى ٱلۡقُلُوبِ
“And whosoever honours the Symbols of Allah, then it is truly from the piety of the heart.”
[Al-Ḥajj 22:32]
704 Abu Hurairah (radiyallahu anhu) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, “When the Iqamah are pronounced, do not come to it running, you should walk calmly with tranquillity to join the congregation. Then join in what you catch for and complete what you miss.”[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
In Muslim it is added: Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “For when one of you is walking for Salat, he is, in fact, engaged in Salat.”
705 Ibn `Abbas (radiyallahu anhuma) reported: I accompanied the Prophet ﷺ while we were returning from `Arafat. Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard behind him a loud noise of beating and of driving the camels forcibly. He pointed towards it with his whip and said, “O people! Proceed calmly. No virtue lies in rushing.”[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
