Bayhaqi 4952 — Reports on the severe warning against missing

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحُرْفِيُّ الْحَرْبِيُّ، فِي مَسْجِدِ الْحَرْبِيَّةِ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّافِعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْأَقْمَرِ يَذْكُرُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: " مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى، وَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى، وَلَوْ أَنَّكُمْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَا يُصَلِّي هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ، وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سَنَةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ لَضَلَلْتُمْ، وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَطَهَّرُ فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ، ثُمَّ يَعْمَدُ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا حَسَنَةً، وَرَفَعَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً، وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا سَيِّئَةً، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ مَعْلُومٌ نِفَاقُهُ، وَلَقَدْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُؤْتَى بِهِ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى يُقَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ دُكَيْنٍ.
Abu al-Ahwas (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whoever would like to meet Allah tomorrow in the state of being a Muslim, let him guard these prayers, whenever the call (adhan) is given for them. For Allah has laid down for your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the ways of guidance, and these are among the ways of guidance. If you were to start praying them in your homes, like these who stay behind from the prayer, you would abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And if you abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), you would go astray. Whoever performs ablution well and then comes to one of these mosques, Allah records a good deed for him for every step, raises him a degree and erases one wrong. None stayed behind from these prayers except a hypocrite whose hypocrisy was evident, while a believing man would be brought, supported between two men, and made to stand in the row.
