Chapter on the Merit of Prayer, and What is Obligatory and Recommended from It
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ فَلَمَّا اِنْصَرَفْتُ اِلْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ« يَا أَبَانُ اَلصَّلَوَاتُ اَلْخَمْسُ اَلْمَفْرُوضَاتُ مَنْ أَقَامَ حُدُودَهُنَّ وَ حَافَظَ عَلَى مَوَاقِيتِهِنَّ لَقِيَ اَللَّهَ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ وَ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ عَهْدٌ يُدْخِلُهُ بِهِ اَلْجَنَّةَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يُقِمْ حُدُودَهُنَّ وَ لَمْ يُحَافِظْ عَلَى مَوَاقِيتِهِنَّ لَقِيَ اَللَّهَ وَ لاَ عَهْدَ لَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ»
Ali ibn Ibrahim from Muhammad ibn Isa from Yunus ibn Abdillah from Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj from Aban ibn Taghlib, who said:
I prayed behind Abu Abdillah عليه السلام at al-Muzdalifah, and when we finished, He عليه السلام turned to me and said: “O Aban, the five obligatory prayers, whoever upholds their limits and preserves their timings shall meet Allah سبحانه وتعالى on the Day of Judgment with a covenant by which He عز وجل will admit him into Paradise. But whoever does not uphold their limits and does not preserve their timings shall meet Allah سبحانه وتعالى without a covenant; if He عز وجل wills, He عز وجل will punish him, and if He عز وجل wills, He عز وجل will forgive him.”
