Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by his Companions and asked them: Do you know what your Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, says? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this three times, then said: Your Lord says: By My Might and My Majesty, whoever offers this prayer at its appointed time, I will admit him into Paradise; and whoever offers it outside its appointed time, if I will, I shall have mercy on him, and if I will, I shall punish him.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, Yazid bin Qutaybah, whom Ibn Abi Hatim mentioned; one narrator from him has been mentioned, but no one has either declared this narrator trustworthy or criticised him.
