4729. It was narrated that Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh said: "We were sitting with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he looked at the moon which was full, as it was the night of the fourteenth. He said: 'You will see your Lord as you see this, and you will have no difficulty in seeing Him. If you can avoid missing a prayer before the sun rises and before it sets, then do so.' Then he recited this Verse: 'And glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting.'" [1 (Saḥih) [1] Tā Hā 20:130.

4729 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، وَوَكِيعٌ، وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جُلُوسًا، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ لَيْلَةَ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا لَا تُضَامُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لَا تُغْلَبُوا عَلَى صَلَاةٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا فَافْعَلُوا» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَ {سَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا} [طه: 130]

Commentary

It is of a surety that in the Hereafter the believers will see Allāh, and this narration indicates that only those who are regular in their prayers will be granted that favor.
