أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْأَقْمَرِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ «مَنْ سَرَّهُ
أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّ اللهَ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَإِنِّي لَا أَحْسِبُ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدًا إِلَّا لَهُ مَسْجِدٌ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَلَوْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ وَتَرَكْتُمْ مَسَاجِدَكُمْ لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَمْشِي إِلَى صَّلَاتهِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خَطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا حَسَنَةً أَوْ يَرْفَعُ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً أَوْ يُكَفَّرُ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا نُقَارِبُ بَيْنَ الْخُطَا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ مَعْلُومٌ نِفَاقُهُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ حَتَّى يُقَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ»

✧ Whoever wants to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, let him guard these five prayers wherever they are called. For Allah has legislated for His Prophet ﷺ the ways of guidance, and they are among the ways of guidance. I do not think any of you but has a mosque in his house where he prays. If you prayed in your houses and abandoned your mosques, you would abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet. If you abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ, you would go astray. There is no Muslim servant who performs ablution and does it well, then walks to his prayer, but Allah writes for him a good deed for every step he takes, or raises him a degree by it, or erases a sin from him by it. We saw ourselves taking short steps, and we saw that no one stayed behind from it except a hypocrite whose hypocrisy was known. I saw a man being supported between two men until he was placed in the row.
