Chapter: On the command to
persevere in the prescribed prayers and the strongest prohibition against
abandoning them
Allah says, "Safeguard the prayer – especially the middle one,"
(W2:236; H2:238) and He says, "If they repent and establish the prayer
and pay zakat, let them go on their way." (9:5)
1074. Ibn Mas'ud said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, 'What is the best action?' He said, 'The prayer in its
time,.' I said, 'Then what?' He said, 'Dutifulness to parents.' I said, 'Then
what?' He said, 'Jihad in the way of Allah.'" [Agreed upon]
1075. Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Islam is based on five: the testimony that there is no
god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, performing the
prayer, paying the zakat, hajj to the House and fasting Ramadan." [Agreed
upon]
1076. Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "I have been commanded to fight people until they testify
that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and
establish the prayer and pay the zakat. If they do that, their lives and
property are protected from me except for the right of Islam, and their
reckoning is up to Allah." [Agreed upon]
1077. Mu'adh said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, sent me to Yemen and said, 'You are going to a people who have a Book.
When you come to them, call on them to testify that there is no god but Allah
and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. If they obey you in respect of
that, then tell them that Allah has made the five prayers obligatory for them
every night and day. If they obey you in respect of that, inform them that Allah
has made it obligatory for zakat to be taken from their property and given to
their poor. If they obey you in respect of that, beware of the things on which
people place great value and beware of the supplication of the wronged. There is
no screen between him and Allah.'" [Agreed upon]
1078. Jabir said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, 'All that lies between a man and shirk and disbelief is
abandoning the prayer.'" [Muslim]
1079. Burayda reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "The contract which is between us and them rests on the prayer.
Anyone who abandons it, has rejected belief." [at-Tirmidhi]
1080. Shaqiq ibn 'Abdullah the Follower said, "The Companions of Muhammad,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not think that abandoning any
action denoted disbelief, except abandoning the prayer." [at-Tirmidhi]
1081. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "The first action which the slave will be called to
account for on the Day of Rising is his prayer. If it is in order, he will have
success and win through. If it is not in order, he will be disappointed and lose
out. If any of his obligatory prayers are lacking, the Lord, the Mighty and
Exalted, will say, 'See if My slave has any supererogatory actions and use them
to complete his obligatory prayer.' Then the rest of his actions will be
assessed in the same way." [at-Tirmidhi]
