[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came out to us while we were seven, three Arabs and four of his followers. He came out to us from one of his rooms and sat with us. He asked, "What brings you here?" We replied, "We are waiting for prayer." He then poked the ground with his fingers, then waited for a while and raised his head towards us and asked, "Do you know what your Lord says?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "He says, 'Whoever prays the prayers at their appointed times and fulfills their conditions, they will have a covenant with me to admit them into Paradise. And whoever does not pray the prayers at their appointed times and fails to fulfill their conditions, they will not have a covenant with me. If I wish, I will admit them into Hell, and if I wish, I will admit them into Paradise.'"  

الطبراني:١٦٤٢٥حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثنا سَعْدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ عَنْ أبِيهِ عَنْ كَعْبٍ قَالَ

خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ سَبْعَةٌ ثَلَاثَةٌ عَرَبًا وَأَرْبَعَةٌ مَوَالِينَا فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ بَعْضِ حُجَرِهِ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «مَا يُجْلِسُكُمْ هَهُنَا؟» قُلْنَا نَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ فَنَكَتَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ نَكَسَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ إِلَيْنَا رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا يَقُولُ رَبُّكُمْ ﷻ؟» قُلْنَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَلَّى الصَّلَوَاتِ لِوَقْتِهَا فَأَقَامَ حَدَّهَا كَانَ لَهُ عَهْدٌ أَنْ أُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ الصَّلَوَاتِ لِوَقْتِهَا وَيُقِمْ حَدَّهَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عِنْدِي عَهْدٌ إِنْ شِئْتُ أَدْخَلْتُهُ النَّارَ وَإِنْ شِئْتُ أَدْخَلْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ

[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.'"
