[Machine] A man from the tribe of Kinanah and then from the tribe of Mudlij met a man from the Ansar (Helpers), known as Abu Muhammad, and asked him about the Witr prayer. He said that it is obligatory. The man from Kinanah then met Ubada ibn As-Samit and mentioned this to him. Ubada replied, "Abu Muhammad is lying. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Allah has made it obligatory for the servants to perform five prayers. Whoever fulfills them without missing anything from them, he has a covenant with Allah that He will admit him to Paradise. And whoever does not fulfill them, then he has no covenant with Allah. If He wills, He may punish him and if He wills, He may forgive him.'"
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ لَقِيَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْوِتْرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ وَاجِبٌ قَالَ الْكِنَانِيُّ فَلَقِيتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ ؓ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فَرَضَهُنَّ اللهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ مَنْ أَتَى بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ شَيْئًا مِنْهُنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عَهْدٌ عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ رَحِمَهُ
