وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
« أَوَّلُ مَا يُحَاسَبُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ صَلَاتُهُ، يَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى صَلَاةِ عَبْدِي، فَإِنْ وَجَدُوهَا كَامِلَةً كُتِبَتْ لَهُ كَامِلَةً، وَإِنْ وَجَدُوهَا انْتُقِصَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ قَالَ: انْظُرُوا هَلْ تَجِدُونَ لِعَبْدِي تَطَوُّعًا، فَتُكْمَلُ صَلَاتُهُ مِنْ تَطَوُّعِهِ، ثُمَّ تُؤْخَذُ الْأَعْمَالُ عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَلِكَ

✧ The first thing for which a servant will be brought to account is his prayer. Allah, Blessed and Exalted, says to the angels: 'Look at My servant's prayer. If you find it complete, it will be recorded as complete. If you find something missing from it, He says: Look and see if My servant has any voluntary prayers, so that his prayer may be completed from his voluntary prayers. Then the rest of his deeds will be taken according to that measure.'
