"In the morning I went to 'Ubadah bin As-Samit, and I met him while he was on his way to the Masjid. I told him what Abu Muhammad said, and 'Ubadah said: 'Abu Muhammad is wrong. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Five prayers are those that Allah has decreed for (His) slaves, whoever does them, and does not neglect any of them out of disregard toward them, will have a promise from Allah that He will admit him to Paradise. And whoever does not to them will have no such promise from Allah; if He wills he will punish him and if He wills He will admit him to Paradise.  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ يُدْعَى الْمُخْدَجِيَّ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً بِالشَّامِ يُكْنَى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ الْوِتْرُ وَاجِبٌ قَالَ الْمُخْدَجِيُّ فَرُحْتُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَاعْتَرَضْتُ لَهُ وَهُوَ رَائِحٌ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ مَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ  

Ibn Muhayriz said: A man from Banu Kinanah, named al-Makhdaji, heard a person called AbuMuhammad in Syria, saying: The witr is a duty (wajib). Al-Makhdaji said: So I went to Ubadah ibn as-Samit and informed him. Ubadah said: AbuMuhammad told a lie. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There are five prayers which Allah has prescribed on His servants. If anyone offers them, not losing any of them, and not treating them lightly, Allah guarantees that He will admit him to Paradise. If anyone does not offer them, Allah does not take any responsibility for such a person. He may either punish him or admit him to Paradise.  

سَمِعَ رَجُلاً بِالشَّامِ يُدْعَى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ وَاجِبٌ قَالَ الْمُخْدَجِيُّ فَرُحْتُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ  

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Five prayers that Allah has enjoined upon His slaves, so whoever does them, and does not omit anything out of negligence, on the Day of Resurrection Allah will make a covenant with him that He will admit him to Paradise. But whoever does them but omits something from them out of negligence, will not have such a covenant with Allah; if He wills He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him.’”  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ افْتَرَضَهُنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يَنْتَقِصْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَاعِلٌ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَهْدًا أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ قَدِ انْتَقَصَ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban from Ibn Muhayriz that a man from the Kinana tribe called al-Mukhdaji heard a man in Syria known as Abu Muhammad saying, "The witr is obligatory (fard)." Al-Mukhdaji said, "I went to Ubada ibn as-Samit and presented myself to him as he was going to the mosque, and told him what Abu Muhammad had said. Ubada said that Abu Muhammad had lied and that he had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Allah the Majestic and Mighty has written five prayers for mankind, and whoever does them and does not waste anything of them by making light of what is due to them, there is a pact for him with Allah that He will admit him into the Garden.Whoever does not do them, there is no pact for him with Allah. If He wishes, He punishes him, and if He wishes, He admits him into the Garden.' "  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ يُدْعَى الْمُخْدَجِيَّ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً بِالشَّامِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ وَاجِبٌ فَقَالَ الْمُخْدَجِيُّ فَرُحْتُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَاعْتَرَضْتُ لَهُ وَهُوَ رَائِحٌ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ

فَرُحْتُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الْوَتْرَ وَاجِبٌ قَالَ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ مَنْ أَتَى بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا جَاءَ وَلَهُ عَهْدٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ ضَيَّعَهُنَّ اسْتِخْفَافًا جَاءَ وَلَا عَهْدَ لَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever performs the five obligatory prayers which Allah has made incumbent upon His slaves, and he meets Him with these (prayers) and he has a covenant with Him that enters him into Paradise. And whoever meets Him and has neglected any of these (prayers) out of belittling their obligation, he will meet Him without a covenant. If He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ فِيهِ إِلَى فِيَّ لَا أَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ وَلَا فُلَانٌ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ افْتَرَضَهُنَّ اللهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا لَقِيَهُ وَلَهُ عِنْدَهُ عَهْدٌ يُدْخِلُهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ وَقَدْ انْتَقَصَ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ لَقِيَهُ وَلَا عَهْدَ لَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ

And Malik narrated from Yahya bin Sa'id in this chain of narration that there was a man from the Banu Kinanah named Al-Mukhddiji.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فَمَنْ وَافَى بِهِنَّ وَلَمْ يُضَيِّعْهُنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُ وَأَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُوَافِ بِهِنَّ اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَقَالَ مَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ فِي هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ يُدْعَى الْمُخْدَجِيَّ  

"مَنْ جَاءَ بِالصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ قَدْ أَكْمَلَهُنَّ، لَمْ ينقِصْ مِنْ حَقِّهِنَّ شَيئًا كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُ، وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ وَقَدْ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ حَقِّهِنَّ شَيئًا، فَلَيسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ، إِنْ شَاءَ رَحِمَهُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ".  

"كَتَبَ اللهُ عَلَى الْعبَادِ خَمْسَ صلَوَتٍ، فَمَنْ أَتَى بِهِنَّ وَقَدْ أَدّى حَقَّهُنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عنْدَ الله عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ أَتَى بِهِنَّ وَقَدْ ضَيَّعَ حَقَّهُنَّ اسْتخْفَافًا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَهْدٌ، إِن شَاءَ عَذَّبَه وإِنْ شَاءَ رَحِمَه".
