Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the time of his death approached, he said: I am relating to you a hadith which I myself heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then surely He sees you. And consider yourself among the dead. And beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for it is accepted. And whoever can come to the ‘Isha and Fajr prayers, let him come, even if he has to crawl.”
