English translation

467. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The first thing for which a person will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be his Ṣalāh. If it is found to be complete then it will be recorded as complete, and if anything is lacking He will say: 'Look and see if you can find any voluntary prayers with which to complete what he neglected of his obligatory prayers.' Then the rest of his deeds will be reckoned in like manner." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

466 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بَيَانِ بْنِ زِيَادِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ قَالَ: كَتَبَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ عَنْهُ قَالَ: 466 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُحَاسَبُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَلَاتُهُ، فَإِنْ وُجِدَتْ تَامَّةً كُتِبَتْ تَامَّةً، وَإِنْ كَانَ انْتُقِصَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ. قَالَ: انْظُرُوا هَلْ تَجِدُونَ لَهُ مِنْ تَطَوُّعٍ يُكَمِّلُ لَهُ مَا ضَيَّعَ مِنْ فَرِيضَةٍ مِنْ تَطَوُّعِهِ، ثُمَّ سَائِرُ الْأَعْمَالِ تَجْرِي عَلَى حَسَبِ ذَلِكَ "

Commentary

Some narrations mention that first of all (unlawful) killing shall be accounted for (Sahīh Al-Bukhārī: 1678). In this narration, the obligatory prayer is mentioned. There is no contradiction between such narrations, for among the rights of Allāh, the first thing to be accounted for on the Day of Resurrection shall be the prayer, while among the rights of human beings, the first thing to be accounted for will be unlawful killings.
