muslim:656aIsḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > al-Mughīrah b. Salamah al-Makhzūmī > ʿAbd al-Wāḥid / Ibn Ziyād > ʿUthmān b. Ḥakīm > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū ʿAmrah

'Uthman b. 'Affan (narrated the mosque after evening prayer and sat alone. I also sat alone with him, so he said: 0, son of my brother, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He who observed the 'Isha' prayer in congregation, it was as if he prayed up to midnight, and he who prayed the morning prayer in congregation, it was as if he prayed the whole night.

مسلم:٦٥٦أحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ قَالَ دَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ الْمَسْجِدَ بَعْدَ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَقَعَدَ وَحْدَهُ فَقَعَدْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَامَ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ وَمَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا صَلَّى اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ

This hadith has been narrated by the chain of transmitters by Abu Sahl 'Uthman b. Hakim.

مسلم:٦٥٦بوَحَدَّثَنِيهِ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَسَدِيُّ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ جَمِيعًا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ

عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ

muslim:657aNaṣr b. ʿAlī al-Jahḍamī > Bishr / Ibn Mufaḍḍal > Khālid > Anas b. Sīrīn > Jundab b. ʿAbdullāh

He who prayed the morning prayer (in congregation) he is in fact under the protection of Allah. And it can never happen that Allah should demand anything from you in connection with the protection (that He guarantees) and one should not get it. He would then throw him in the fire of Hell.

مسلم:٦٥٧أوَحَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُفَضَّلٍ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جُنْدَبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَهُوَ فِي ذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ فَلاَ يَطْلُبَنَّكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذِمَّتِهِ بِشَىْءٍ فَيُدْرِكَهُ فَيَكُبَّهُ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ

The one who prays Fajr is under Allah's protection

muslim:657bIsmāʿīl > Khālid > Anas b. Sīrīn > Jundab al-Qasrī

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever performs the Subh (Fajr) prayer is under the protection of Allah, and Allah does not demand anything for His protection. So if anyone ˹else˺ demands something from Allah for his protection (i.e. violates his protection) ˹of such a person˺, he achieves it, then He throws him into Hellfire face-first."

مسلم:٦٥٧بوَحَدَّثَنِيهِ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جُنْدَبًا الْقَسْرِيَّ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ فَهْوَ فِي ذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ، فَلاَ يَطْلُبَنَّكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذِمَّتِهِ بِشَىْءٍ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَطْلُبْهُ مِنْ ذِمَّتِهِ بِشَىْءٍ يُدْرِكْهُ ثُمَّ يَكُبَّهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ».

muslim:657cAbū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > Ibn Hārūn > Dāwud b. Abū Hind > al-Ḥasan > Jundab b. Sufyān

" He would throw him in fire."

مسلم:٦٥٧جوَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ هَارُونَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ جُنْدَبِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِهَذَا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فَيَكُبَّهُ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ
