Allah, Maɗaukakin, yana cewa: {Sai kuma wasu zuriya suka gāje su, waɗanda suka rabu da Salla, suka bi sha'awace-sha'awace. To, za su haɗu da halaka, sai dai waɗanda suka tuba, suka yi imani, kuma suka aikata aikin kirki.} (Maryam: 59-60)

Allah, the Most High, says, {But after them there followed a posterity who missed Prayers and followed after lusts soon, then, will they face destruction, except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness.} (Maryam: 59-60)

Yayin da yake sharhi kan ayoyin da ke sama, Ibn 'Abbas ya ce: "Maganar Allah, "Waɗanda suka yi sakaci da Salloli," ba na nufin cewa ba su yi sallar kwata-kwata ba, face dai ba su yi ta a lokacinta ba." Sa'id Ibn Al-Mussaiyyib, Shugaban Tabi'un (Allah ya yarda da shi), ya ce: "Shi ne wanda yake jinkirta sallar Azahar (sallar tsakar rana) har zuwa lokacin sallar La'asar (sallar yamma), haka ma sallar Magriba (sallar faɗuwar rana) har zuwa lokacin Isha'i (sallar dare), Isha'i kuma har zuwa Asuba (sallar safiya), Asuba kuma har zuwa fitowar rana." Idan mutum ya mutu yana dagewa kan irin waɗannan halaye, kuma bai tuba zuwa ga Allah ba, to Allah ya yi alkawarin zai fuskance shi da Ghayy (halaka). Amma Ghayy na iya zama kuma sunan wani kwari a cikin Wuta wanda ƙasansa yake da zurfi ƙwarai kuma ɗanɗanonsa yana da ɗaci sosai.

Commenting on the above verses (Ayat), Ibn 'Abbas said, "Allah's statement, "Who missed Prayers does not mean that they did not perform it at all but rather they did not perform it in its due time.” Sa'id Ibn AI-Mussaiyyib, Imam of the Tabi'een (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "It is he who postpones the Dhuhr (Early Afternoon Prayer) until the time of Asr Prayer (Late Afternoon Prayer) and so are Maghrib (Sunset Prayer) until' /sha' (Evening Prayer), /sha until Fajr (Dawn Prayer) and Fajr until the sun rises. If someone dies persisting in such habits and does not repent to Allah, Allah promises to make him face Ghayy (destruction). But Ghayy may also be the name of a valley in the Hell whose bottom is so deep and tastes so bitter.

Allah, Maɗaukakin, yana cewa, {Don haka wayyo ga masu sallah waɗanda suke gafala daga sallarsu.} (Ma'un: 4-5)

Allah, the Most High, says, {So woe to the worshipers who are neglectful of their Prayer.} (Ma'un: 4-5)

Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas ya ruwaito cewa, "Na tambayi Annabi ﷺ game da ma'anar "masu sallar da ke sakaci da sallarsu." Sai ya ce, "Shi ne jinkirta yin sallah a lokacin da aka tsara mata." Kalmar (Wayl) a cikin ayar na iya nufin azaba mai tsanani, ko kuma sunan wani kwari a cikin Wuta. Idan aka kawo dukkan duwatsun duniya cikin wannan kwari, za su narke saboda zafi mai tsanani. Wannan ita ce makomar waɗanda ba su da ƙwazo a cikin sallah, sai dai idan sun tuba zuwa ga Allah kuma suka yi nadama kan abin da suka aikata.

Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas related, "I asked the Prophet (pbuh) about the meaning of "the worshipers who are neglectful of their Prayer.' He said, "It is the delaying of performing the Prayer in its definite time." The word (Wayl) in the Ayah may refer to severe torture or it may be the name of a valley in the Hell. Were the whole mountains of the world brought in such valley it would melt because of severe heat. This is the abode of those who are not serious in Prayer unless they repent to Allah and regret for what they have done.

Allah, Maɗaukaki, yana cewa, {Ya ku waɗanda suka yi imani! Kada dukiyoyinku da 'ya'yanku su shagaltar da ku daga ambaton Allah. Duk wanda ya aikata haka, to, su ne masu hasara.} (Al-Munafiqun: 9)

Allah, the Almighty, says, {O ye who believe! Let not your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah, if any act thus, surely they are the losers.} (AI-Munafiqun: 9)

Malaman tafsiri sun ce, "Ambaton Allah a cikin ayar da ke sama yana nufin sallolin farilla guda biyar na kowace rana."

The exegetes said, "The remembrance of Allah in the above Ayah means the five daily Prayers.

Saboda haka, duk wanda ya shagaltu da dukiyarsa, kasuwancinsa, abin rayuwarsa ko 'ya'yansa maimakon yin Salla a lokacinta da aka ƙayyade, to zai zama mai hasara.

Therefore, whoever preoccupies himself with his property, trade, livelihood or children rather performing Prayer in its definite time will be a loser.

Annabi ﷺ ya ce: "Abu na farko da bawa za a fara lissafa masa a Ranar Alkiyama shi ne Sallah. Idan ya yi ta da kyau, zai samu nasara. In kuma bai yi ta da kyau ba, zai yi asara."1

The Prophet (pbuh) said, "The first of one's works that he shall be called to account for on the Day of Judgment is the Prayer. If he performed it well, he will be prosperous. Otherwise, he will be loser.”1

Allah, Maɗaukakin, ya ce: {Me ya shigar da ku cikin Wuta? Za su ce: "Ba mu kasance daga cikin masu Sallah ba, kuma ba mu kasance daga cikin masu ciyar da miskinai ba. Mun kasance muna shiga cikin zance na banza tare da masu zance na banza, kuma mun kasance muna musanta Ranar Sakamako, har sai ya zo mana (Sa'a) tabbatacciya." Sai ba wata ceto ta masu ceto da za ta amfane su.} (Al-Muddassir: 42-48)

Allah, the Most High, says, {What led you into Hell-Fire? They will say, 'We were not of those who prayed, nor were we of those who feed the indigent. But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers, and we used to deny the Day of Judgment until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain. Then will no intercession of any intercessor profit them.} (Al-Muddathir: 42-48)

Annabi ﷺ ya ce: "Alkawarin da ke tsakaninmu da su shi ne Sallah: duk wanda ya bar ta, ya kafirta."

The Prophet (pbuh) said, "The covenant between us and them consists of the Prayer:Whoever leaves it has disbelieved.” 1

An rawaito cewa Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "Tsakanin mutum da kafirci shi ne barin Sallah."2

It was related that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Between a man and unbelief is the nonperformance of the Prayer.”2

Duk wanda ya yi sakaci da Sallar 'Asar (Sallar La'asar), ayyukansa za su zama banza.3

"Whoever neglects the Prayer of 'Asr (Late Afternoon Prayer) will have his deeds vain.”3

"Duk wanda ya yi watsi da Salla da gangan, to zai fita daga cikin alkawarin Allah."4

"Whoever neglects the Prayer intentionally will be free from Allah's covenant.”4

"An umurce ni da in yaƙi mutane har sai sun shaida cewa babu abin bautawa da gaskiya sai Allah, kuma Muhammadu Manzon Allah ne, su tsayar da Salla, kuma su bayar da Zakka. Idan suka faɗi hakan, sun tsare jininsu da dukiyarsu daga gare ni, sai dai abin da Musulunci ya wajabta a kansu, kuma lissafinsu na ƙarshe yana wurin Allah."5

"I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah and perform the Prayer, and pay Zakah. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the right of Islam over them, and their final reckoning is with Allah.”5

"Duk wanda ya ci gaba da yin Sallah (a lokacinta), zai zama haske, hujja da tsira a gare shi a Ranar Alkiyama. In kuma bai yi ba, za a tara shi tare da Fir'auna, Karun, Haman da 'Ubayy Ibn Khalaf."6

"Whoever keeps on performing Prayers (in its due time), it will be a light, a proof and redemption for him on the Day of Judgment. Otherwise, he will be assembled with Pharaoh, Qarun Haman and 'Ubai Ibn Khalaf .”6

'Umar (Allah ya yarda da shi) ya ce, "Duk wanda ya yi sakaci da Sallah, to ya fita daga ginshiƙin Musulunci."7

'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Whoever neglects the Prayer is beyond the pole of Islam.”7

Wani malami na ilimin shari'a ya ce, "Shi (wanda ya yi sakaci da Sallah) za a tara shi tare da wadannan mutane hudu saboda ko dai ya shagaltu daga yin Sallah da dukiya, mulki, mukami ko kasuwanci. Idan ya shagaltu da dukiya, za a tara shi tare da Kaarun. Idan da mulki, zai kasance tare da Fir'auna. Idan da mukami, zai kasance tare da Haamaan, kuma idan da kasuwanci, zai kasance tare da Ubayy Ibn Khalaf." Mu'aadh Ibn Jabal (Allah ya yarda da shi) ya ruwaito cewa Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce, "Duk wanda ya bar sallah ta wajibi da gangan, to ya zama kafiri."8

One of the scholars of sacred knowledge said, "He (the one who neglects the Prayer) will be assembled with these four people because he is either preoccupied from performing Prayer by property, kingdom, ministry or trade. If he is preoccupied by wealth, he will be assembled with Qarun. If by kingdom, he will be with Pharaoh. If by ministry, he will be with Haman and if by trade, he will be with Ubai Ibn Khalaf." Mu'adh Ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whoever intentionally missed an obligatory Prayer there by becomes an unbeliever.”8

'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab ya ce, "Wani mutum ya zo wajen Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce, "Ya Manzon Allah, wane aiki ne fi so a wajen Allah a cikin Musulunci?" Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce, "Yin Salla a kan lokacinta, kuma duk wanda ya yi sakaci da Salla babu addini a tare da shi. Salla ita ce ginshiƙin Musulunci..."9 Lokacin da aka soke 'Umar, aka kira shi zuwa Salla, sai ya amsa da cewa, "Na'am, duk wanda ya bar Salla ba Musulmi ba ne." Sannan ya yi Sallar yana zub da jini.' Abdullahi Ibn Shaqiq, ɗaya daga cikin Tabi'ai, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce, "Sahabban Annabi ﷺ ba su ɗauki barin yin wani aiki a matsayin kafirci ba, sai dai barin Salla."1

'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what are most beloved deeds to Allah in Islam?" The Messenger said, "To perform Prayers on time, and whoever neglect Prayers has no religion. Prayers are the pillar of Islam..”9 When Umar was stabbed he was called to Prayer and replied by saying, "Yes, whoever misses Prayer is non-Muslim." He then prayed while bleeding." 'Abdullah Ibn Shaqiq, one of the Tabi'een, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "The Prophet's Companions did not view the nonperformance of anything as unbelief besides the Prayers.”1

Lokacin da aka tambayi Ali (Allah ya yarda da shi) game da wata mace da ba ta yin Sallah, sai ya ce: "Duk wanda ya yi sakaci da Sallah, kafiri ne." Ibn Mas'ud ya ce ma: "Duk wanda ba ya Sallah, kafiri ne." Ibn 'Abbas ya bayyana: "Duk wanda ya bar wata Sallah ta wajibi da gangan, zai fuskanci fushin Allah idan ya mutu." Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "Duk wanda ya mutu yana sakaci da Sallolin, Allah ba zai duba kowane aiki nagari na shi ba." 2

When' Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about a woman who did not Prayers, he said, "Whoever neglects Prayers is unbeliever." Ibn Mas'ud also said, "Whoever does not pray is an infidel." Ibn 'Abbas stated, "Whoever intentionally missed an obligatory Prayer entails Allah's wrath when he dies." The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Whoever dies neglecting the Prayers, Allah will not regard any of his good deeds.” 2

Ibn Hazm ya ce, "Manyan zunubai bayan Shirki su ne jinkirta Sallah da kashe rai ba tare da hakki ba na mumini." Ibrahim An-Nakh'i ya kuma ce, "Duk wanda ya bar Sallah ya kafirta." Haka kuma, 'Aun Ibn 'Abdullah ya ce, "Idan bawa ya kwanta a kabarinsa, za a tambaye shi, da farko, game da Sallah. Idan an karɓi Sallar, sai a duba sauran ayyukansa. Idan ba a karɓa ba, babu wani abu da za a ƙara dubawa." Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce, "Idan bawa ya yi Sallah a lokacinta, sai ta tashi zuwa sama tana lulluɓe da haske har ta kai ga Al'arshi. A can sai ta nemi gafara ga mai yinta har zuwa Ranar Alkiyama, tana cewa, "Allah ya kiyaye ka kamar yadda ka kiyaye ni." Amma idan bawa ya yi Sallah bayan lokacinta, sai ta tashi zuwa sama tana lulluɓe da duhu. Idan ta kai sama, sai a naɗe ta kamar tsohon zane, a jefa ta baya a fuskar mai yinta, tana cewa, "Allah ya sa ka yi hasara kamar yadda ka yi sakaci da ni."3

Ibn Hazm said, "The most heinous sins next to Shirk (polytheism) are the delayment of Prayers and taking a life of a believer except for just cause." Ibrahim An-Nakh'i also said, "Whoever leaves the Prayers has disbelieved." Moreover, 'Aun Ibn 'Abdullah said, "When a servant is laid in his grave, he will be asked, first about the Prayers. If it is accepted, his other works will be examined. If not, nothing will be examined any more." The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "When a servant performed a Prayer on time, it will rise skyward enveloped with light until it reaches the Throne. There, it asks forgiveness to its doer up to the Day of Judgment, and says, "May Allah preserve you as you have preserved me." But if the servant performs a Prayer out of its time, it will rise skyward enveloped with darkness. When it reaches the sky, it will be folded as an old cloth and then kicked back to the doer's face and says, "May Allah make you lose as you missed me.”3

'Abdullahi Ɗan 'Amr Ɗan Al-'As ya ruwaito cewa Annabi ﷺ ya ce: "Allah ba ya karɓar sallar mutum uku: duk wanda ya jagoranci mutane alhali suna ƙin sa, duk wanda ya yi salla bayan ya rasa lokacin sallar, da kuma wanda ya mayar da wani bawa bayi bayan ya 'yantar da shi."4

'Abdullah Ibn 'Amr Ibn AI-As related that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Allah does not accept the Prayers of three people: whoever leads a group of people who dislike him, whoever prays after missing the due time of the Prayer, and he who enslaved someone after freeing him.”4

Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "Duk wanda ya haɗa sallolin biyu tare ba tare da uzuri na shari'a ba, to ya aikata babban zunubi."5

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Whoever joins two Prayers together without a legal excuse, he then commits a major sin.”5

Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "Idan yaro ya kai shekara bakwai, ku koya masa Salla, kuma ku hukunta shi idan ya yi sakaci a Sallarsa a shekara goma." 6

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "When a boy reaches the age of seven years, teach him the Prayers (Salat), and punish him, when he commits a default (in his Prayers) at the age often years.” 6

An ruwaito cewa Annabi ﷺ ya ce: "Idan 'ya'yanku suka kai shekara bakwai, ku umarce su su yi Sallah, kuma idan suka kai shekara goma, ku hore su a kan gadaje daban-daban."

It was related that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "When your children attain the age of seven years, ask them to perform the Prayer and chastise them in respect of any fault in this behalf; when they are ten years old, let them sleep in separate beds.” 1

Imamu Sulaiman Al-Khattabi (Allah ya yarda da shi) ya ce, "Wannan hadisi yana nuna cewa hukuncin barin Sallah yana karuwa idan yaro ya balaga." Wasu almajiran Imamu Shafi'i sun yi amfani da hadisin da ke sama a matsayin hujja cewa a kashe yaron idan ya ci gaba da barin Sallah da gangan bayan ya balaga. Sun dauka cewa idan yana cancanta a buge shi tun yana yaro, to ya kamata a yi masa hukunci mai tsanani fiye da haka bayan ya balaga, kuma babu abin da ya fi tsanani fiye da kisa.

Imlam Sulyman AI-Khattabi (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "This hadith indicates that the punishment of nonperformance of the Prayer increases when the child reaches puberty. Some disciples of Imam Shafi'i cited the above hadith as an evidence to kill the child if he persisted to neglect the Prayer purposely 'after reaching puberty. They assumed that if he deserves to be struck while still a child thus he should rather face more severe punishment after reaching puberty and nothing can be lost severe than death.

Akwai banbance-banbance tsakanin malaman fiqhu game da hukuncin wanda ya yi sakaci da Sallah.

There are differences among Islamic legal scholars as to the judgment of he who neglects the Prayer.

Malik, Shafi'i da Ahmad duk sun yarda cewa wanda ya bar Salla ana kashe shi. Sai dai sun sabawa juna dangane da imaninsa: shin a ce shi kafiri ne ko a'a (idan ya bar Salla ba tare da uzuri na shari'a ba)? Ra'ayin cewa irin wannan mutum ya zama kafiri an danganta shi ga Ibrahim An-Nakha'i, Ayyub As-Sakhtiyani, Abdullahi Ibn Al-Mubarak, Ahmad Ibn Hanbal da Ishaq Ibn Rahawaih. Waɗanda suke ganin cewa duk wanda ya bar Salla ya zama kafiri suna kawo dalilai kamar haka:

Malik, Shafi'i and Ahmed all hold that the one who misses the Prayer is executed. Then they differ as regards his belief, should they call him an unbeliever or not (incase of neglectil1g the Prayer without a legal excuse)? The opinion that such a person become an unbeliever has been ascribed to Ibrahim AnNakh'iy, AYyub As-Sakhtiyani, 'Abdullah Ibn AI-Mubarak, Ahmed Ibn Hambal and Ishaq Ibn Rahawyah. Those who hold that whoever misses a Prayer becomes an unbeliever adduce the following evidence:

Manzon Allah (ﷺ) ya ce: "Duk wanda ya ci gaba da yin Sallar farilla, Allah zai ba shi lada guda biyar masu daraja: zai yi rayuwa mai daɗi, zai kuɓuta daga azabar kabari, zai karɓi littafin aikinsa da hannun damansa, zai ƙetare Sirat (gadar da ke kan Wuta) kamar walƙiya, kuma zai shiga Aljanna ba tare da an yi masa lissafi ba. Amma wanda ya yi sakaci a yin Sallah, Allah zai sa ya sha azaba iri goma sha biyar: biyar a duniya, uku a lokacin mutuwa, uku a kabari, da uku a lokacin tashin kiyama. Azabar duniya kuwa su ne: zai rasa albarkar tsawon rayuwarsa, kyawun fuskar salihai zai ƙare daga fuskarsa, zai yi aiki a banza, addu'o'insa ba za a karɓa ba, kuma ba zai amfana da addu'ar salihai ba."

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Whoever keeps on performing the prescribed Prayer, Allah will grant him five honorable rewards: he will lead a happy life, avoid the torment in the grave, receive his record by his right hand, cross Sirat (the bridge on Fire) as swift as lightening and enter Paradise without being reckoned. But who is remiss in performing the Prayer, Allah will make him suffer fifteen kind of punishment, five in this world, three when dying, three in the grave, and three when being resurrected. The worldly punishments are: he loses the glamor (the blessing) of his life span, the righteous appearance diminishes from his face, he works in vain, he will not have his supplications answered and he will not make use of the righteous people's supplications.

Lokacin mutuwa: yana mutuwa cikin wulakanci, yana jin yunwa, yana jin ƙishirwa koda kuwa ya sha dukkan koguna na duniya. A cikin kabari: za a matse shi sosai har hakarkarinsa su canza wuri, yana ci da wuta dare da rana, kuma zai fuskanci macijin maza mai kai babu gashi, mai guba, mai baƙaƙen tabo biyu a bisa idanunsa, wanda aka halitta daga Wuta, da farata na ƙarfe; kowace fartanya tana daidai da nisan da ake tafiya a rana guda. Zai yi magana da mamacin cikin muryar ruri mai ƙarfi kamar tsawa, yana cewa: "Ni ne macijin maza mai kai babu gashi, mai guba. Ubangijina ya umarce ni in dake ka saboda ka rasa sallar Asuba har zuwa fitowar rana, sallar Azahar har zuwa La'asar, sallar La'asar har zuwa Magariba, sallar Magariba har zuwa Isha'i, da sallar Isha'i har zuwa Asuba." Duk wanda ya buge shi, sai ya nutse cikin ƙasa zurfin hannu saba'in, kuma zai ci gaba da nutsewa a cikinta har zuwa Ranar Alkiyama.

When dying: he dies humiliated, hungry, thirsty even if he drinks all the rivers of the world. In the grave: he will be compressed so tightly that his ribs permute, blazing in fire day and night and will face a baldheaded poisonous male serpent with two black spots over its eyes which are created of Fire and the fingernails of iron; each fingernail is equal to the distance covered in a day. It will address the deceased in a very roaring sound like thunder saying, "I am the baldheaded poisonous male serpent, My Lord commanded me to beat you for missing the Fajr Prayer until sunrise, the Dhuhr until Asr, Asr Prayer until Maghrib, Maghrib Prayer until 'Isha' and Ish until Fajr." Whoever he strikes him, he sinks in the earth for seventy arms deep and he will keep sinking therein until the Day of Judgment.
