Sunan an-Nasai 459 (Book 5, Hadith 12) #15067
The Promise of Paradise for Praying Five Times a Day

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a man who asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) how many prayers Allah has enjoined upon His slaves, and the Prophet (PBUH) replied that it was five. The man swore to only do five prayers and the Prophet (PBUH) said that if he kept his promise, he would enter Paradise.

It was narrated that Anas said: "A man asked the Messenger of Allah : 'O Messenger of Allah, how many prayers has Allah enjoined upon His slaves?' He said: 'Allah has enjoined upon His slaves (five) prayers'. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, is there anything before them or after them?' He said: 'Allah has enjoined upon His salves (five) prayers'. The man swore that he would not do anything more or less than that. The Messenger of Allah said: 'If he is speaking the truth he will most certainly enter Paradise'."
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمِ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ قَالَ ‏"‏ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ صَلَوَاتٍ خَمْسًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ قَبْلَهُنَّ أَوْ بَعْدَهُنَّ شَيْئًا قَالَ ‏"‏ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ صَلَوَاتٍ خَمْسًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَحَلَفَ الرَّجُلُ لاَ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا وَلاَ يَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنْ صَدَقَ لَيَدْخُلَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about an important obligation in Islam - prayer. It is narrated by Anas ibn Malik that a man asked the Messenger of Allah how many prayers Allah has enjoined upon His slaves, and the Prophet replied that it was five. The man then swore to only do five prayers and promised not to do more or less than that. In response, the Messenger of Allah said that if he kept his promise, he would enter Paradise. This hadith teaches us about our obligations as Muslims - we must pray five times a day as prescribed by Allah in order to be rewarded with entry into paradise on Judgment Day. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about keeping our promises - if we make a promise to God or anyone else for any matter related to religion or worldly matters, we must keep it in order for God's blessings and rewards in this life and hereafter.
