Al-Kāfi|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 2
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ كُنْتُ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَانُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ الْمَفْرُوضَاتُ مَنْ أَقَامَ حُدُودَهُنَّ وَحَافَظَ عَلَى مَوَاقِيتِهِنَّ لَقِيَ الله يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَهُ عِنْدَهُ عَهْدٌ يُدْخِلُهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُقِمْ حُدُودَهُنَّ وَلَمْ يُحَافِظْ عَلَى مَوَاقِيتِهِنَّ لَقِيَ الله وَلاَ عَهْدَ لَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj that Aban ibn Taghlib said: “Once I performed Salah (prayer) with Abi 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) عليه السلام in Muzdalifah (a place in Makkah). When he completed his Salah, he turned to me and said, ‘O Aban, the five daily prayers are obligatory. Those who observe their duties regarding them, and are careful of their timings, will meet Allah on the day of Judgement with a covenant that will enter them into heaven. Whoever does not observe their duties regarding them, and are not careful regarding their timings, will meet Allah and have no covenant. If Allah wishes, He will punish them or forgive them.'"
