685 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الَّذِي تَفُوتُهُ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ، فَكَأَنَّمَا وُتِرَ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ»

Commentary
For a man of the world there can be no greater loss than that his family, his relations and his herd of animals all meet their sudden death, all his buildings collapse in an instant, all his money is taken away by thieves, and he is reduced to the state of an absolute beggar. But, in the sight of the Messenger of Allāh, all this loss cannot match the loss of failing to observe one prayer on time. We can thus say that anyone who misses just one prayer from the bidding of the inciting soul or the temptation of Satan, his loss is as irreparable as the loss sustained by the miserable man cited above.
