حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : " عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ بَدْرِيٌّ عَقَبِيٌّ شَجَرِيٌّ وَهُوَ نَقِيبٌ " . حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمُخْدَجِيُّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ بِالشَّامِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : الْوَتْرُ وَاجِبٌ , قَالَ : فَرُحْتُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الْوَتْرَ وَاجِبٌ ! قَالَ : كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى الْعِبَادِ ، مَنْ أَتَى بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا ، جَاءَ وَلَهُ عَهْدٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَمَنْ ضَيَّعَهُنَّ اسْتِخْفَافًا جَاءَ وَلَا عَهْدَ لَهُ ، إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ " .
Yahya bin Sa’d Ansari says that the kunyah of Hazrat ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) is Abu al-Walid. He was a participant in the Battle of Badr, took part in the Pledge of ‘Aqaba and the Pledge of Ridwan, and was among the leaders (nuqaba) of Madinah. Mukhdaaji, who belonged to Banu Kinanah, says that there was an Ansari man in Syria whose kunyah was Abu Muhammad. He used to say that Witr is obligatory (fard). That Mukhdaaji went to Hazrat ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, “Abu Muhammad considers Witr to be obligatory.” Hazrat ‘Ubada replied, “Abu Muhammad is mistaken. I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah has made five prayers obligatory upon His servants. Whoever performs them without neglecting anything from them and does not consider anything from their rights insignificant, then Allah has promised to admit him to Paradise. And whoever does not perform them in this way, then Allah has no promise for him—if He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him.”
