Muwatta Malik #269
Tahajjud
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ يُدْعَى الْمُخْدَجِيَّ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً، بِالشَّامِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْوِتْرَ وَاجِبٌ . فَقَالَ الْمُخْدَجِيُّ فَرُحْتُ إِلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَاعْتَرَضْتُ لَهُ وَهُوَ رَائِحٌ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ كَذَبَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ
" خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهِنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَهْدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad
ibn Yahya ibn Habban from Ibn Muhayriz that a man from the Kinana
tribe called al-Mukhdaji heard a man in Syria known as Abu Muhammad
saying, "The witr is obligatory (fard)." Al-Mukhdaji said, "I went to
Ubada ibn as-Samit and presented myself to him as he was going to the
mosque, and told him what Abu Muhammad had said. Ubada said that Abu
Muhammad had lied and that he had heard the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Allah the Majestic and
Mighty has written five prayers for mankind, and whoever does them and
does not waste anything of them by making light of what is due to
them, there is a pact for him with Allah that He will admit him into
the Garden.Whoever does not do them, there is no pact for him with
Allah. If He wishes, He punishes him, and if He wishes, He admits him
into the Garden.' "
