حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ ، عَنْ ضُبَارَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْكٍ الْأَلْهَانِيِّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ : إِنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ بْنَ رِبْعِيٍّ أَخْبَرَهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : إِنِّي فَرَضْتُ عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَعَهِدْتُ عِنْدِي عَهْدًا أَنَّهُ مَنْ جَاءَ يُحَافِظُ عَلَيْهِنَّ لِوَقْتِهِنَّ أَدْخَلْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحَافِظْ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَلَا عَهْدَ لَهُ عِنْدِي " .
Narrated Abu Qatadah ibn Ribiyy: Allah, the Exalted said: I made five times' prayers obligatory on your people, and I took a guarantee that if anyone observes them regularly at their times, I shall admit him to Paradise; if anyone does not offer them regularly, there is no such guarantee of Mine for him.

430. Commentary:
➊ Such ahadith in which words like "Allah the Exalted says" appear are called "Hadith Qudsi." The difference between the Noble Qur'an and Hadith Qudsi is that the Qur'an is "wahy matlu" (recited revelation), while the other is "ghayr matlu" (non-recited). That is, the Qur'an is recited, whereas hadith or other ahadith are not recited. The Noble Qur'an is miraculous speech, and ahadith are not of that level. The Noble Qur'an is mutawatir (transmitted by numerous chains), and not all ahadith are of this rank. Other differences and discussions may be seen in the books of "Ulum al-Qur'an" (Sciences of the Qur'an).
➋ Along with safeguarding the times of prayers, other etiquettes (such as purification [taharah], humility [khushu‘], and moderation, etc.) are also necessary.
➌ There is nothing that can obligate anything upon Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. He, purely out of His grace and bounty, has made such promises binding upon Himself for His servants, and He does not go against His promises «إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُخلفُ المِيعادَ» [آل عمران : 9]

➊ Benefits and Issues
Performing the five daily prayers while observing the obligations (wajibat), duties (faraid), recommended acts (mandubat), and preferred acts (mustahabbat) is a tremendous deed. This act develops in a person the ability to avoid evil, as is stated:
The command of Allah, the Exalted, is:
«إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ» [سورہ العنکبوت : 45]
“Indeed, prayer restrains from indecency and wrongdoing.”
Allah, the Exalted, has placed such a spiritual effect in prayer that a person naturally becomes averse to evil, and then, due to the blessing of this act, he inclines towards righteous deeds. Such a person, day by day, draws nearer to Paradise, and ultimately Allah, the Exalted, makes him an inheritor of Paradise. On the other hand, the evil end of the one who abandons prayer is mentioned; in fact, not only the one who abandons prayer, but even the person who does not regularly guard the prayers—sometimes performing them, sometimes neglecting them—such a person is excluded from the covenant and guarantee of Allah, the Exalted.
