Chapter 2 | Those Who Preserve Salah (prayer) and Those Who Lose
2ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) الْمَغْرِبَ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ وَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الآخِرَةَ لَمْ يَرْكَعْ بَيْنَهُمَا ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِسَنَةٍ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَتَنَفَّلَ بِأَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَانُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ الْمَفْرُوضَاتُ مَنْ أَقَامَهُنَّ وَحَافَظَ عَلَى مَوَاقِيتِهِنَّ لَقِيَ الله يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَهُ عِنْدَهُ عَهْدٌ يُدْخِلُهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّهِنَّ لِمَوَاقِيتِهِنَّ وَلَمْ يُحَافِظْ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَذَاكَ إِلَيْهِ إِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ.
2. AI-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ariy has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd al- Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following: “Once I performed Maghrib (evening) Salah (prayer) with abu ‘Abd Allah , in Muzdalifah. When he completed, he called for Salah (prayer) and performed al-‘Isha’ (late evening) prayer without any delay between the two prayers (evening and late evening). One year later I performed Salah (prayer) with him. He prayed Maghrib then he stood up for Nafl (optional) Salah (prayer). He performed four Rak‘at, then he said Iqamah (called for Salah (prayer) and prayed al-Tsha prayer (late evening),) and then he turned to me saying, ‘O Aban, these five times Salah (prayers) are obligatory. Those who perform them and do not ignore their designated times, they will come in the presence of Allah, on the Day of Judgment, with an established covenant before Him, because of which they will be admitted in paradise. Those who do not perform them in their designated times and ignore the rules about them, then it will be up to Him. He may forgive them or punish them as He will wish.’”
