وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ يُدْعَى
الْمُخْدَجِيّ ، سَمِعَ رَجُلًا بِالشَّامِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ : إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ وَاجِبٌ . فَقَالَ الْمُخْدَجِيُّ : فَرُحْتُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَاعْتَرَضْتُ لَهُ وَهُوَ رَائِحٌ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ ، فَقَالَ
عُبَادَةُ : كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :
" خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ ، فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ ، كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ ، فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ "
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Muhairiz that a man from Banu Kinanah, who was called Mukhdaaji, heard from a man of Syria whose kunyah was Abu Muhammad (he was an Ansari companion), that he used to say Witr is obligatory. Mukhdaaji said that I went to Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) and conveyed to him the statement of Abu Muhammad. He said, "Abu Muhammad has lied. I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he said: 'Allah the Exalted has made five prayers obligatory upon His servants. Whoever performs them and does not take them lightly and abandon them, then Allah the Mighty and Majestic has made a covenant to admit him to Paradise. And whoever abandons them, then he has no covenant with Allah; if He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will admit him to Paradise.'"
