[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The obligatory prayer is an expiation for what is between it and the next prayer. And the Friday prayer is an expiation for what is between it and the next Friday prayer. And the month (of fasting) is an expiation for what is between it and the next Ramadan." He said, "Then he said after that, except for three (situations)." He said, "So I knew that this was a matter that has occurred except for associating partners with Allah, breaking a contract, and abandoning the Sunnah." He said, "As for breaking a contract, it is when you pledge allegiance to a man and then you violate it and fight against him with your sword. And as for abandoning the Sunnah, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we are familiar with associating partners with Allah, but what is breaking a contract?' He said, 'It is when you pledge allegiance to a man and then you violate it and fight against him with your sword. And as for abandoning the Sunnah, it is leaving the congregation.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاةُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ وَالشَّهْرُ إِلَى الشَّهْرِ يَعْنِي رَمَضَانَ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ قَالَ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ لِأَمْرٍ حَدَثَ إِلَّا مِنَ الْإِشْرَاكِ بِاللهِ وَنَكْثِ الصَّفْقَةِ وَتَرْكِ السُّنَّةِ قَالَ أَمَّا نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ أَنْ تُبَايِعَ رَجُلًا ثُمَّ تُخَالِفَ إِلَيْهِ تُقَاتِلُهُ بِسَيْفِكَ وَأَمَّا تَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمَّا الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَمَا نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ؟ قَالَ فَأَنْ تُبَايِعَ رَجُلًا ثُمَّ تُخَالِفَ إِلَيْهِ تُقَاتِلَهُ بِسَيْفِكَ وَأَمَّا تَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ فَالْخُرُوجُ مِنَ الْجَمَاعَةِ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "The prescribed prayers are an expiation for the sins committed between them." He then said: "Except for three acts: associating partners with Allah, breaking a covenant or agreement, and abandoning the Sunnah." He further explained: "As for breaking a covenant or agreement, the Imam should give him allegiance, then one should fight against him with his sword. And as for abandoning the Sunnah, it is leaving the congregation."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ وَنَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ وَتَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ «أَمَّا نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ فَالْإِمَامُ تُعْطِيهُ بَيْعَتَكَ ثُمَّ تُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِ تُقَاتِلُهُ بِسَيْفِكَ وَأَمَّا تَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ فَالْخُرُوجُ مِنَ الْجَمَاعَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The obligatory prayer to the obligatory prayer that follows it is an expiation for what is between them. And the Friday prayer to the Friday prayer, and the fasting of one month to the fasting of another month, which means from the month of Ramadan to the month of Ramadan, is an expiation for what is between them." Then he said afterwards, "Except for three." So I understood that this is something important that he is about to mention. He said, "Except for associating partners with Allah, breaking a deal, and abandoning the Sunnah." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, we understand what it means to associate partners with Allah, but what does breaking a deal and abandoning the Sunnah mean?" He said, "Breaking a deal is when you make a transaction with someone and then you dispute with them, you confront them with your sword. And abandoning the Sunnah is leaving the congregation."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الصَّلَاةُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ وَالشَّهْرُ إِلَى الشَّهْرِ يَعْنِي مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِلَى شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُمَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ «إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ» فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَمْرٍ حَدَثَ فَقَالَ «إِلَّا مِنَ الْإِشْرَاكِ بِاللَّهِ وَنَكْثِ الصَّفْقَةِ وَتَرْكِ السُّنَّةِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَّا الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَمَا نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ وَتَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ؟ قَالَ أَمَّا نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ أَنْ تَبَايَعَ رَجُلًا بِيَمِينِكَ ثُمَّ تَخْتَلِفَ إِلَيْهِ فُتَقَابِلَهُ بِسَيْفِكَ وَأَمَّا تَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ فَالْخُرُوجُ مِنَ الْجَمَاعَةِ «»  

"الصَّلاةُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَينَهُمَا، وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا كَفَّارَةٌ مَا بَينَهُمَا، وَالشَّهْرُ إِلَى الشَّهْرِ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَينَهُمَا. إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلاثٍ:

الإِشْرَاكُ بِالله، وَتَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ وَنَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله، أَمَّا الإِشْرَاكُ بِالله فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَمَا نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ وَتَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ؟ قَال: أَمَّا نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ فَأَنْ تُبَايعَ رَجُلًا بيَمِينِكَ ثُم تُخَالِفَ إِلَيهِ فَتُقَاتِلَهُ بِسَيفِكَ، وَأَمَّا تَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ فَالْخُرُوجُ مِنَ الْجَمَاعَةِ ".
