Once it was asked from the late founder of the Islamic Republic to shed light on the famous Hadith by Imam Sadiq (PBUH) that prayers should not be taken lightly.

At this, Imam further explained that in any thin or thick situation and should be performed in all circumstances and that the Hadith put emphasis on performing or maintaining prayers with all observing all of its manners.
