Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 7846 — The virtue of prayer

Abu Bakr bin Umarah bin Ruwaybah al-Thaqafi narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Umarah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever prays before the sun rises and before it sets will not enter Hell." A man from the people of Basra asked him, "Did you hear this saying yourself from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said, "I bear witness that I heard it myself from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); my ears heard it and my heart retained it."
