وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ
أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ يُدْعَى الْمُخْدَجِيَّ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً بِالشَّامِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ وَاجِبٌ فَقَالَ الْمُخْدَجِيُّ فَرُحْتُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَاعْتَرَضْتُ لَهُ وَهُوَ رَائِحٌ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban from Ibn Muhayriz that a man from the Kinana tribe called al-Mukhdaji heard a man in Syria known as Abu Muhammad saying, "The witr is obligatory (fard)." Al-Mukhdaji said, "I went to Ubada ibn as-Samit and presented myself to him as he was going to the mosque, and told him what Abu Muhammad had said. Ubada said that Abu Muhammad had lied and that he had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Allah the Majestic and Mighty has written five prayers for mankind, and whoever does them and does not waste anything of them by making light of what is due to them, there is a pact for him with Allah that He will admit him into the Garden.Whoever does not do them, there is no pact for him with Allah. If He wishes, He punishes him, and if He wishes, He admits him into the Garden.' "

فكان فيما رويناه في هذا من أحاديث يحيى وعبد ربه ابني سعيد ومحمد بن إسحاق عن محمد بن يحيى بن حبان رجوع هذا الحديث إلى ابن محيريز عن المخدجي عن عبادة وقد خالفهم في ذلك عقيل بن خالد ومحمد بن عجلان فروياه عن محمد بن يحيى بن حبان عن ابن محيريز عن عبادة بغير إدخال منهما المخدجي بين ابن محيريز وبين عبادة
machine translationAmong what we have narrated on this subject from the hadiths of Yaḥyā and ʿAbd Rabbih, the two sons of Saʿīd, and Muḥammad b. Isḥāq, from Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā b. Ḥabbān, this hadith goes back to Ibn Muḥayrīz, from al-Mukhdajī, from ʿUbādah. ʿUqayl b. Khālid and Muḥammad b. ʿAjlān differed from them in this: they narrated it from Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā b. Ḥabbān, from Ibn Muḥayrīz, from ʿUbādah, without either of them inserting al-Mukhdajī between Ibn Muḥayrīz and ʿUbādah.
