English translation

864. It was reported from Yunūs, from Al-Hasan, about Anas bin Hakim Ad-Dabbī. He said: "He fled from Ziyād or Ibn Ziyād and came to Al-Madinah, where he met Abū Hurairah. He (Anas) said: 'So he (Abū Hurairah) inquired about my lineage, and (it turned out) that we had a common lineage. He said: "O lad, should I not narrate to you a Hadīth?" I said: "Yes, may Allāh have mercy on you." — Yunūs said: "I think he said it was from the Prophet ﷺ" — "The first action that a person will be accounted for will be his prayer. Our Lord will say to the Angels — and He knows best — 'Look at the prayer of My servant: Did he complete it, or is there any deficiency in it? So if he has performed it completely, I will write it for him in full (measure), and if there is any deficiency in it, then look if My servant has any voluntary prayers.' If he does have voluntary prayers, (Allāh) will say: 'Complete for My servant his obligatory prayers from his voluntary ones.' Then the rest of the actions will be judged in a similar manner.'" (Da'if)

864 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الضَّبِّيِّ، قَالَ: خَافَ مِنْ زِيَادٍ، أَوْ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ، فَأَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ، فَلَقِيَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: فَنَسَبَنِي، فَانْتَسَبْتُ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا فَتَى، أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى، رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ - قَالَ يُونُسُ: وَأَحْسَبُهُ ذَكَرَهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُحَاسَبُ النَّاسُ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ»، قَالَ: " يَقُولُ رَبُّنَا جَلَّ وَعَزَّ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ: انْظُرُوا فِي صَلَاةِ عَبْدِي أَتَمَّهَا أَمْ نَقَصَهَا؟ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ تَامَّةً كُتِبَتْ لَهُ تَامَّةً، وَإِنْ كَانَ انْتَقَصَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا، قَالَ: انْظُرُوا هَلْ لِعَبْدِي مِنْ تَطَوُّعٍ؟ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ تَطَوُّعٌ، قَالَ: أَتِمُّوا لِعَبْدِي فَرِيضَتَهُ مِنْ تَطَوُّعِهِ، ثُمَّ تُؤْخَذُ الْأَعْمَالُ عَلَى ذَاكُمْ "،

Commentary

1. The Day of Resurrection is the Day of Accounting. Each person shall be made to give an account for one's actions in this world. 2. Salāh is the most important pillar of the religion, next to the Two Testimonies of faith. Of all the rights of Allāh, this shall be accounted for first of all.
