وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، ثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، هُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ بِهِ وَأَتَمَّ مِنْهُ، وَأَوَّلُهُ:
« إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا افْتَرَضَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى النَّاسِ مِنْ أَمْرِ دِينِهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ، وَآخِرَ مَا يَبْقَى الصَّلَاةُ، وَأَوَّلَ مَا يُحَاسَبُونَ بِهِ الصَّلَاةُ، يَقُولُ: انْظُرُوا فِي صَلَاةِ عَبْدِي »، فَذَكَرَهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ: « فَإِنْ وُجِدَ لَهُ تَطَوُّعٌ أُتِمَّتِ الْفَرِيضَةُ مِنَ التَّطَوُّعِ »، ثُمَّ قَالَ: « انْظُرُوا هَلْ زَكَاتُهُ تَامَّةٌ، فَإِنْ وُجِدَتْ زَكَاتُهُ تَامَّةً كُتِبَتْ تَامَّةً، وَإِنْ وُجِدَتْ نَاقِصَةً » قَالَ: « انْظُرُوا هَلْ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ تَمَّتْ زَكَاتُهُ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ

✧ The first thing Allah Almighty made obligatory upon people in their religion is prayer, and the last thing that remains is prayer, and the first thing they are held accountable for is prayer. He says: 'Look at My servant's prayer.' Then he mentioned it until he said: 'If any voluntary prayer is found for him, the obligatory prayer is completed from the voluntary.' Then he said: 'Look: is his zakat complete? If his zakat is found complete, it is recorded as complete, and if it is found deficient...' He said: 'Look: does he have any charity? If he has, his zakat is completed from the charity.'
