Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8564 — Whoever would be pleased to meet Allah

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَجَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: «مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا، فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى، وَإِنَّ اللهَ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى، وَلَعَمْرِي مَا إِخَالُ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا قَدِ اتَّخَذَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مَسْجِدًا، وَلَوْ أَنَّكُمْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَا يُصَلِّي هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَضَلَلْتُمْ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ مَعْلُومٌ، أَوْ مَعْرُوفٌ نِفَاقُهُ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى يُقَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ، فَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَطَهَّرُ فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ فَيَخْطُو خُطْوَةً يَعْمِدُ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةً وَرَفَعَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً، حَتَّى إِنْ كُنَّا لَنُقَارِبُ فِي الْخُطَا»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Whoever would be pleased to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, let him guard these obligatory prayers where the call (adhan) is made for them, for they are among the ways of guidance, and Allah has prescribed for your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) these very ways of guidance. By my life, I do not think there is anyone among you who has not taken a place of prayer in his house; and if you were to pray in your houses as this one who stays behind prays in his house, you would abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and if you abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), you will go astray. I have seen us at a time when no one stayed away from the congregation except a hypocrite whose hypocrisy was known and well-recognised. And I have seen a man being brought along, supported between two men, until he was made to stand in the row. There is no man who purifies himself and does so well, then takes a step towards one of the mosques, except that Allah records for him a good deed for it, raises him by a degree for it and removes a sin from him for it, so much so that we used to walk with short, close steps."
