The Book of Faith
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَبَقَ الْعَبْدُ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلاَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
When the slave runs away from his master, his prayer is not accepted.
Narrated by Jarir b. Abdullah reported it from the Holy Prophet:

Context

In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) addresses the issue of a runaway slave. He emphasizes that the prayer of a slave who has fled from his master is not accepted. This highlights the importance of fulfilling one's obligations and responsibilities, particularly in the context of servitude and loyalty.

Modern Application

Today, this principle can be reflected in the importance of being accountable and responsible in our commitments, whether in work or personal relationships. It serves as a reminder that our actions and responsibilities have consequences.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Manumission of Slaves and Punishments (Hudud) because it addresses the consequences of a slave's disobedience and the implications for their worship.
