حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِی عِمْرَانَ الْأَرْمَنِیِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَنْصَارِیِّ عَنْ هِشَامٍ الْجَوَالِیقِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَلَّی الصَّلَاهَ لِغَیْرِ وَقْتِهَا رُفِعَتْ لَهُ سَوْدَاءُ مُظْلِمَهٌ تَقُولُ ضَیَّعَکَ اللَّهُ کَمَا ضَیَّعْتَنِی وَ أَوَّلُ مَا یُسْأَلُ الْعَبْدُ إِذَا وَقَفَ بَیْنَ یَدَیِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنِ الصَّلَاهِ فَإِنْ زَکَتْ صَلَاتُهُ زَکَی سَائِرُ عَمَلِهِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَزْکُ لَمْ یَزْکُ عَمَلُهُ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who does not offer Salaat during its time, it goes to the divine throne with black face and says: May Allah waste you in the same way as you wasted me. When a person is made to stand on the Day of Judgment, the first question that will be asked to him will be related to his prayers. If Salaat is accepted, all good deeds will be accepted and if Salaat is rejected, all good deeds will be rejected.”
