Riyad as-Salihin 1081 (Book 8, Hadith 91) #37570
The Importance of Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that the first thing a person will be judged on in the Day of Resurrection is their prayer. If it is perfect, they will be safe and successful, but if it is incomplete, they will be unfortunate and a loser.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "The first of man's deeds for which he will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection will be Salat. If it is found to be perfect, he will be safe and successful; but if it is incomplete, he will be unfortunate and a loser. If any shortcoming is found in the obligatory Salat, the Glorious and Exalted Rabb will command to see whether His slave has offered any voluntary Salat so that the obligatory Salat may be made up by it. Then the rest of his actions will be treated in the same manner". At- Tirmidhi.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏إن أول ما يحاسب به العبد يوم القيامة من عمله صلاته، فإن صلحت، فقد أفلح وأنجح، وإن فسدت، فقد خاب وخسر، فإن انتقص من فريضته شيئًا، قال الرب، عز وجل‏:‏ انظروا هل لعبدي من تطوع، فيكمل منها ما انتقص من الفريضة‏؟‏ ثم يكون سائر أعماله على هذا‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Offer voluntary prayers to make up for any shortcomings in obligatory ones

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of prayer in Islam. It teaches us that our prayers are the first thing we will be judged on in the Day of Resurrection. If our prayers are perfect, we will have success and safety; however, if there are any shortcomings or incompleteness in our obligatory prayers then we may not have success or safety. To make up for any shortcomings in obligatory prayers, Allah commands us to offer voluntary prayers so that our obligatory ones can be made up for. The rest of our actions will also be treated similarly to how prayer is treated when being judged on the Day of Resurrection.
