[Machine] "While I was sitting in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, leaning against its wall, there were seven individuals with me. Four of them were from our followers and three were from our Arab brethren. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us to lead the Dhuhr prayer. When he finished praying, he asked us why we were sitting there. We replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, we are waiting for the prayer.' He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, 'Do you know what your Lord says?' We replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Indeed, your Lord says that whoever offers the prayer at its prescribed time and observes its obligations without neglecting any part, they will have a covenant with me to enter Paradise. And whoever does not offer the prayer at its prescribed time and neglects it, they have no covenant with me. If I will, I will punish them, and if I will, I will forgive them.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while we were in the mosque, seven of us. Three of us were Arabs and four of us were non-Arabs, or four of us were Arabs and three of us were non-Arabs. The Prophet ﷺ came out from one of the corners of the mosque until he sat with us and asked, "What made you sit here?" We replied, "We are waiting for the prayer." He then tapped the ground with his finger and turned it over for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Do you know what your Lord says?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "He says, 'Whoever performs the prayer at its prescribed time and observes its proper limits, it will be a guarantee for him to enter Paradise. And whoever does not perform the prayer at its prescribed time and does not observe its proper limits, he will not have any guarantee from me. If I will, I will admit him to Hell, and if I will, I will admit him to Paradise.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came out to us while we were seven people, four of our companions and three of our Arab men riding our camels to his mosque. He asked us, "What is keeping you here?" We replied, "We are waiting for the prayer." He then threw a little pebble and turned towards us and asked, "Do you know what your Lord says?" We said, "No." He said, "Verily, your Lord says, 'Whoever performs the prayer at its designated time and preserves it without neglecting it, he shall have a covenant with Me that I will admit him into Paradise. And whoever does not perform the prayer at its designated time and does not preserve it without neglecting it, he shall not have a covenant with Me. If I will, I will punish him and if I will, I will forgive him.'"
