English translation
1420. It was reported from Ibn Muḥairiz that there was a man by the name of Al-Mukhdajī — from the tribe of Banū Kinānah — who heard a man by the name of Abū Muḥammad from Ash-Shām saying: “Witr is obligatory (to pray).” Al-Mukhdajī said: “So I went to ‘Ubādah bin Aṣ-Šāmit and informed him of this. ‘Ubādah said: ‘Abū Muḥammad is mistaken. I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: “There are five prayers that Allāh has prescribed upon the worshippers. Whoever comes having (performed) them, not having lost anything of them by neglecting its rights, has a promise from Allāh that He will admit him into Paradise. And whoever does not bring them, then he has no promise with Allāh: If He wishes, He will punish him, and if He wishes, He will admit him into Paradise.” (Hasan)
