Hadith 1616
أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ ابْنَ مُحَيْرِيزٍ الْقُرَشِيَّ ثُمَّ الْجُمَحِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ وَكَانَ يَسْكُنُ بِالشَّامِ، وَكَانَ أَدْرَكَ مُعَاوِيَةَ، أَنَّ الْمُخْدَجِيَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الشَّامِ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ، يُكْنَى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ الْوِتْرَ وَاجِبٌ، فَرَاحَ الْمُخْدَجِيُّ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ . فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ: كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ، مَنْ أَتَى بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْ حَقِّهِنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ، كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ، جَاءَ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ، أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ".
Ibn Muhairiz al-Qurashi al-Jumahi, who lived in the land of Sham, lived during the time of Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). He reported that a man from Banu Kinanah, Mukhdaaji, informed him that in the land of Sham there was a person whose kunya was Abu Muhammad and who was a companion, and he said that Witr is obligatory. Mukhdaaji went to Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) and mentioned this to him. Sayyiduna Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Abu Muhammad has lied. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'There are five prayers which Allah, the Exalted, has made obligatory upon His servants. Whoever brings them while having fulfilled their due rights, without neglecting anything in their performance, for him there is a covenant with Allah that He will admit him to Paradise. And whoever does not bring them (i.e., neglects the prayers, not considering them important), then there is no covenant or guarantee from Allah for him; if He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will admit him to Paradise.'"
