Majma al-Zawaid 1605 — The obligation of prayer

وَعَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمُرَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" أَوَّلُ مَا يُحَاسَبُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ صَلَاتُهُ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ أَتَمَّهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ تَامَّةً ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَتَمَّهَا قَالَ اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : هَلْ تَجِدُونَ لِعَبْدِي مِنْ تَطَوُّعٍ تُكْمِلُوا بِهَا فَرِيضَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ الزَّكَاةُ كَذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ الْأَعْمَالُ عَلَى حَسَبِ ذَلِكَ " .
قُلْتُ : رَوَى النَّسَائِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمُرَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مِثْلَ هَذَا ، فَلَا أَدْرِي أَهْوَ هَذَا أَمْ لَا ، وَقَدْ ذَكَرَهُ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ رَجُلٍ غَيْرِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Yahya bin Ya'mar narrates from a Companion this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The first thing for which a servant will be called to account is his prayer. If it is complete, it will be recorded for him as complete. If it is not complete, Allah Almighty will say (to the angels): 'Do you find any voluntary prayer of My servant with which you may complete his obligatory prayer?' Then the matter of zakah will be likewise, and then all other deeds will be dealt with in the same way."
Allamah al-Haythami says: I say: Al-Nasa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) recorded something similar through Yahya bin Ya'mar from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). I do not know whether it is this same hadith or another. Ahmad recorded this narration under a person other than Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
