أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ هُوَ ابْنُ النُّعْمَانِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ كَعْبٍ قَالَ
خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ سَبْعَةٌ مِنَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ عَرَبِنَا وَأَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْ مَوَالِينَا أَوْ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْ عَرَبِنَا وَثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ مَوَالِينَا قَالَ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ بَعْضِ حُجَرِهِ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «مَا يُجْلِسُكُمْ هَاهُنَا؟» قُلْنَا انْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ فَنَكَتَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَنَكَسَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ إِلَيْنَا رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا يَقُولُ رَبُّكُمْ؟» قَالَ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَلَّى الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَأَقَامَ حَدَّهَا كَانَ لَهُ بِهِ عَلَيَّ عَهْدٌ أُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَلَمْ يُقِمْ حَدَّهَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عِنْدِي عَهْدٌ إِنْ شِئْتُ أَدْخَلْتُهُ النَّارَ وَإِنْ شِئْتُ أَدْخَلْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while we were in the mosque, seven of us. Three of us were Arabs and four of us were non-Arabs, or four of us were Arabs and three of us were non-Arabs. The Prophet ﷺ came out from one of the corners of the mosque until he sat with us and asked, "What made you sit here?" We replied, "We are waiting for the prayer." He then tapped the ground with his finger and turned it over for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Do you know what your Lord says?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "He says, 'Whoever performs the prayer at its prescribed time and observes its proper limits, it will be a guarantee for him to enter Paradise. And whoever does not perform the prayer at its prescribed time and does not observe its proper limits, he will not have any guarantee from me. If I will, I will admit him to Hell, and if I will, I will admit him to Paradise.'"
