Hadith #386
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَصِينٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْعَدَوِىِّ عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا
رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ دَخَلَ وَنَحْنُ تِسْعَةٌ وَبَيْنَنَا وِسَادَةٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ بَعْدِي أُمَرَاءُ يَكْذِبُونَ وَيَظْلِمُونَ فَمَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَصَدَّقَهُمْ بِكِذْبِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُ وَلَيْسَ بِوَارِدٍ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَيُعِنْهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَهُوَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ وَهُوَ وَارِدٌ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ

English Translation
Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Abū Ḥayyān al-Taymī, from Yazīd ibn Ḥayyān, from Kaʿb ibn ʿUjrah رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us, and we were nine — four of our freed slaves and three of our Arabs — when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us at Ẓuhr prayer until he reached us and said: 'What keeps you sitting here?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we are waiting for the prayer.' He said: Then he was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: 'Do you know what your Lord عز وجل says?' We said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'Your Lord عز وجل says: Whoever prays the prayer at its time, guards it, and does not neglect it out of belittling its right, then he has a covenant from Me that I shall admit him to Paradise. And whoever does not pray at its time, does not guard it, and neglects it out of belittling its right, then there is no covenant for him — if I wish, I shall punish him, and if I wish, I shall forgive him.'
