Punishments Of Not Praying (we Seek Refuge In Allah To Help Us Pray Salat)

Salaam Brother.

Welcome to the forum! Brother, those were some very wise words you just posted, incredibly thought provoking. I have a small favour to ask of you. Could you possibly show us where you got this from (i.e. sources), to enable us to quote accurately when we pass it on? JazakAllah.

Allah reward you for your efforts.

Regards

Here is one of the places.

I used to believe that too... But you might want to read this for clarification...

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

The hadeeth, “Whoever neglects prayer, Allaah will send fifteen punishments upon him, six in this world, three when he is dying, three in the grave and three when he emerges form the grave…” is a fabricated (mawdoo’) hadeeth which is falsely attributed to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

Concerning this hadeeth Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, in the magazine al-Buhooth al-Islamiyyah (22/329): With regard to the hadeeth which the author of this pamphlet attributes to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) concerning the punishment of the one who does not pray, and which says that fifteen punishment will be sent upon him etc., this is one of the fabricated ahaadeeth that are falsely attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as was stated by the scholars (may Allaah have mercy on him) such as al-Haafiz al-Dhahabi in Lisaan al-Meezaan, and al-Haafiz ibn Hajar and others.

Similarly the Standing Committee issued a fatwa, no. 8689, declaring this hadeeth to be false, as it says in Fataawa al-Lajnah, 4/468. Among the things mentioned in this fatwa which it is worth quoting here is:

What has been narrated from Allaah and from His Messenger concerning the punishment of the one who does not pray is sufficient. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, As‑Salaah (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours”

[al-Nisa’ 4:103]

And Allaah says of the people of Hell (interpretation of the meaning):

“ ‘What has caused you to enter Hell?’

They will say: ‘We were not of those who used to offer the Salaah (prayers)’”

[al-Muddaththir 74:42-43]

and He mentioned among their attributes the fact that they did not pray.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The covenant that stands between us and them is prayer; whoever gives up prayer is a kaafir.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2621; al-Nasaa’i, 431; Ibn Maajah, 1079. classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 2113. And there are other verses and ahaadeeth which speak of giving up prayer, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) described it as kufr.

See also question no. 2182.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: This hadeeth is mawdoo’ (fabricated) and falsely attributed to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It is not permissible to propagate it unless it is accompanied by a statement that it is fabricated, so that the people will have a clear understanding about it.

Fataawa al-Shaykh published by the Daw’ah center in ‘Anayzah, 1/6

We ask Allaah to make you steadfast in your keenness to call your brothers and advise them, but you have to make it clear to everyone who is keen to do good for the people and to warn them against evil that it must be done in accordance with that which is proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and that there is sufficient material in the saheeh reports that we have no need for the da’eef (weak) material.

We ask Allaah to grant you success and to guide those whom you call and all the Muslims to follow the straight path.

And Allaah knows best.

The rest of the fatwa comments on that. Scholars of hadith examine the hadith carefully, its text and its chain of narrators to determine its classification. After detailed study, they determined that this hadith was fabricated and could not possibly have been a statement of the Prophet Muhammad saws.

Correct answer brother Ansar. I couldn't have said it better than that. :brother:

To learn about the sciences of the hadith I suggest the following link:

You can also find a list of fabricated hadith here:
http://www.allaahuakbar.net/ahaadeet..._ahaadeeth.htm

Hadith from Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim can be trusted.

Ansar Al-'Adl = Supporters of Justice

Sahih Bukhari et al are books of hadith. Fada'il al-A'maal is a book of fada'il (virtues). They cannot be compared as you are intending.

There is indeed many a da'if narration in Fada'il al-A'maal. However this is the point, it is a book of virtues, and thats it. Its chapters are aptly named: the virtues of salat, the virtues of sawn, the virtues of tabligh etc. It is not a book of fiqh and no fiqh (nor aqeedah, obviously) is to be taken from it. It was never intended for such.

The one who disdains the prayers will receive Fifteen punishments from Allah.

Six punishments in this lifetime Three punishments while dying Three punishments in the grave Three punishments on the Day Of Judgment
THE SIX PUNISHMENTS OF LIFE:
1. Allah takes away blessings from his age (makes his life misfortunate)
2. Allah does not accept his plea (Dua's)
3. Allah erases the features of good people from his face.
4. He will be detested by all creatures on earth.
5. Allah does not award him for his good deeds. (No thawab)
6. He will not be included in the Dua's of good people.

THE THREE PUNISHMENTS WHILE DYING:
1. He dies humiliated.
2. He dies hungry.
3. He dies thirsty. Even if he drinks the water of all seas he will still be thirsty.

THE THREE PUNISHMENTS IN THE GRAVE:
1. Allah tightens his grave until his chest ribs come over each other.
2. Allah pours on him fire with embers.
3. Allah sets on him a snake called "the brave", "the bold" which hits him from morning until afternoon for leaving Fajr prayer, from the afternoon until Isa. With each strike he sinks 70 yards under the ground.

THE THREE PUNISHMENTS ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT:
1. Allah sends who would accompany him to hell pulling him on the face.
2. Allah gives him an angry look that makes the flesh of his face fall down.
3. Allah judges him strictly and orders him to be thrown in hell.

THOSE WHO DO NOT SAY THEIR PRAYERS OF:
FAJAR: the glow of their face is taken away.
ZOHAR: the blessing of their income is taken away.
ASAR: the strength of their body is taken away.
MAGHRIB: they are not benefacted by their children.
ISHA: the peace of their sleep is taken away.

THE HOLY QUR'AN: Say Your Prayers Prior To Prayers For You Are Said".
