3996. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The first thing concerning which a person will be brought to account will be the Salâh, and the first thing concerning which scores will be settled among the people, will be bloodshed.'" (Šahîh)

Arabic text

3991 - أَخْبَرَنَا سَرِيعُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ الْخَصِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقُ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوَّلُ مَا يُحَاسَبُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ الصَّلَاةُ، وَأَوَّلُ مَا يُقْضَى بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِي الدِّمَاءِ»

Commentary

Meaning: on the Day of Resurrection. Among the rights of Allâh, the most important is the ritual prayer. It will, therefore, be accounted for first of all. If one achieves victory or success in it, then there is hope that he would gain reprieve in other rights of Allâh. But if he fails in the matter of ritual prayer; there would not remain any need for reckoning the remaining rights of Allâh; or it means he would not be successful in it. Among the rights of human beings, the most important is the sanctity of human life.
