Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ثنا يَزِيدُ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ قَالَ زَعَمَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّ الْوِتْرَ وَاجِبٌ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ ؓ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ افْتَرَضَهُنَّ اللهُ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ وَضُوءَهُنَّ وَصَلَّاهُنَّ لِوَقْتِهِنَّ وَأَتَمَّ رُكُوعَهُنَّ وَسُجُودَهُنَّ وَخُشُوعَهُنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى اللهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عَلَى اللهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ
English Translation
Abu Ali al-Rudhbari narrated to us... from Ata' ibn Yasar, from Abdullah al-Sunabhi who said: Abu Muhammad claimed that the Witr prayer is obligatory. Ubadah ibn al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Abu Muhammad has erred. I testify that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: Five prayers Allah has made obligatory. Whoever performs their ablution well, prays them at their proper times, and completes their bowing, prostration, and humility, he has a covenant with Allah that He will forgive him. And whoever does not do so has no covenant with Allah - if He wills, He forgives him, and if He wills, He punishes him.'
